Students don't know tolerence.

You're not concerned about them lacking tolerance. You're concerned about them lacking tolerance in something you believe in.

If they had done the same thing and booted gay marriage organizations off campus you'd be praising them for acting on decent Christian beliefs.

What's wrong, Baldimo, can't handle a little free speech? If these recruiters are willing to take the chance and show up on college campuses, then students who are p*ssed at Bush and his illegal war have every right to make their sentiments known...

Thank you for telling me my own motives. And you know this about me how? Perhaps your extensive familiarity with my life history.

Regardless of any personal qualities I have or lack, what I say is true. Freedom of speech is for people of every political stripe, and is most essential when the speech is unpopular.

I was speaking to the author of the thread.

Vietnam brought out a great deal of anger on college campuses.

Iraq could very well do the same. And now with Republicans starting to question Bush's motives and his handling of intelligence, this is only going to get worse.

So is it going to turn into another Kent State? Four dead in O-hi-o?

I wouldn't push it with that blind arrogance of yours...

Barrel of a gun?

Dwight David Eisenhower-President of the USA/5 star General- on his retirement as President gave a speech explicitly warning to 2 great dangers to american democracy (1) the dominance of the military/industrail complex and (2) the negative power/influence of fed funds into the US University system resulting in dangerous influence on the universities themselves for they would become beholden to the giver rather than the truth.

They do, but that is quite a different thing from preventing the recruiters from making their sentiments known.

I'm not a Christian if you must know. Who are you kidding; people who praise gay marriage are seen as heroes on campus. If some group tried to protest that the students would attack and the school officials would demand that all the protesting students be forced to attend some sort of reeducation classes where tolerance is taught. It happens to this day and you know it does.

I can handle free speech just fine; it is the students who once again are interfering with others free speech. Have them protest outside the place, not inside where they will cause a disturbance.
Sorry. They're students, who have every right to be there. More so IMO than the military recruiters.

The problem is, they are taking it out on the wrong people. The military is just doing their jobs.
Oh, really? Who should they be taking it out on?

It only brought anger because of the draft. When the draft stopped, the protests stopped.
I give you one chance to guess the "sentiments" of the protestors. My guess is that they were ANGRY. And as rumors fly regarding reinstating the draft (the backdoor draft is in full effect), then that is most likely adding fuel to their anger.

I would love to see the proof of this. If people questioned this as much as you say they are then why did Bush get so many votes and get back into the Oval Office?
Because once again, he cheated.

That would depend on the protesters.
Who were shot dead by police...

Blind? You need to look through your history books if you think someone else provides you with your freedom.

If you can find a time in place where a bunch of over rated lawyers or reporters protected your freedom then I will believe you. It is the self-sacrifice and bravery of soldiers that do this for you and no one else!

Seeing men in uniform with materials to hand out looking to talk to students ISN'T a blatant move on their part in making their sentiments known?



I believe EVERYBODY knows what their sentiments are. It's pretty damned obvious...

I don't question the self-sacrifice our men and women in uniform have given. It is those in power who sent them into this illegal war who I hold in utter contempt.
