    Pretty simple stop making ad hominem remarks and just discuss this particular issue. It would save a lot of time, although this was fun.

    No, it's not. I study language and discourse. Brah.


    You don't know when to use commas. I made a typo. One of these things is not like the other. Apology accepted, broseph.


    Where did I disagree with you? Where specifically? And calling you crazy isn't disagreeing with you.

    Even barfo?

    I did not say you were wrong. I said you didn't know who you were talking to, because all of your "arguments" weren't relevant to what I said, like, at all. Here, let's look at it again, together:

    Thanks for the correction, bro.

    and what is covered in the first post? that some people wouldnt give their grades to others? you want a statistical analysis of that? even THEY did not give any statistics on that, including :who was polled, their political affiliation if any, their grades, etc...

    there is nothing there, it is a fox news fluff piece...

    so what is the question? do you have one? WTF! :lol:

    How about some random schlub on the street? Do you have a connection with him? The US government has the same "connection" to you that a university has with the student. Do you seriously not understand this analogy or are you intentionally playing stupid?

    Well clearly you didn't read the article then. Most did support taxes on the rich... But did not support redistribution. What political party do you think they are referring to?


    I've got my Giants gear ready if you make a good response, they're definitely not repeating though.

    He constantly tries to distract and derail threads by avoiding advanced metrics. He wants to make verbal flourishes instead.

    I understand the analogy; it's a bad analogy. The government isn't some alien being, we elected it. It makes decisions on our behalf because we explicitly asked it to. We *do* have a connection to the government. We created it, we are responsible for it.

    The student does not have the same connection to a university. The student didn't hire the university administrators, and he has no ability to remove the administration if he doesn't like their performance. He can, of course, drop out, and since he's already an expert on constitutional law, there's really no reason for him to continue.

    You'll notice Barfo didn't respond to the actual topic or the general analogy. Instead he nitpicked a few words out of Maxiep's post just argue semantics instead.

    Plus he didn't even use any advanced metrics! Get back on topic, barfo.

    We choose what school to attend. The study is asking students to sign a petition to vote this "law" into effect. Therefore, the students *would* have a connection to this new law. It would have been created by the students.

    The "actual topic" of this thread is pretty stupid. Some college students are hypocrites. Shocking news.

    I think the words I picked out of maxiep's post are pretty important. If you think government is something that we have 'no connection' with, then obviously your attitude about what it does will be different than if you accept your share of responsibility for it.

    You think it's "stupid" because it points out the hypocrisy of so many of the people that have the same economic views and policies as you do.

    "Cutting funding that millions of people depend on (and not just because they are lazy, stop rolling your eyes) will not "inventivize" them, it will simply make the crack they slip through open up that much quicker."


    Hoojacks you're clearly embarrassed. You made a typical lefty post. You're not fooling anyone and you are going to take responsibility for your liberal propaganda. You disagree with the most important subject in this thread, man up to it.


    False, in grammar classes teachers will often warn their students not to overuse commas. Your overall grammar is flawed they're not just typos.

    This is also an informal forum, I don't give a fuck if I make typos. It shows how weak your argument is that you can't stay on subject.

    I'm sure you could do a similar thing where you get conservative college students to complain about taxes and so on, and then to complain that they aren't getting enough Pell grants or other government benefits. But that would be stupid too. Because no one needs to prove that college students are selfish.

    College students are selfish? Yet they have the same views on redistribution of wealth as you do. Why are you so selfish, Barfo?

    I'm sorry you don't understand the very basic, very simple premise in this article.

    1. Most people support taxes on the rich, in the location he took this survey.

    2. They do not support redistribution of GPAs.

    My question to you, how the fuck is this not enough information? You know their political party, they're in fucking california. Make a statistical defense for why they're wrong or right, this is a very popular subject.

    Barry Bonds should have gone to another franchise.

    Really? I think you are trying to construct a strawboy here. You've given no advanced metrics that show that college students have the same views as I do, and you haven't even mentioned the Supreme Court.
