Btw the only way I was being condescending is if A&E didnt punish Duck Dynasty because Odin was pissed. You cant prove that Odin didnt have a role in it NOR can you prove that GLAAD had anything to do with it.
See the point? You'll say no but you do..
What point, that you are trying to corner me into proving a negative? one of the cheap-hooker tactics in debating?
When you see someone using "can't" and "didn't" during a discussion that close to each other, you know you are dealing with a person not entirely up to the challenge.

Bucks County Community College: Ideological Loyalty Oath for Professors - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - FIRE
Bucks County Community College: Ideological Loyalty Oath for ProfessorsProfessor of Sociology Myles Kelleher contacted FIRE after discovering that applicants for new faculty (and other) positions at Bucks County Community College (BCCC) would be required to "provide a brief statement of your commitment to diversity and how this commitment is demonstrated in your work," and to "certify" their understanding that "any false or misleading statement on this application constitutes sufficient grounds for dismissal." FIRE appealed to the court of public and moral opinion and wrote to BCCC's Board of Trustees and its major donors. The story became the focus of local and national. Due to FIRE's efforts this threat to liberty and privacy was overturned.
Political Litmus Test for Faculty at Virginia Tech - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - FIRE
Of the similar requirement now threatening academic freedom at Virginia Tech, Peter Wood writes that
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversityVirginia Techhas imposed a political test on candidates for promotion and tenure. Specifically, Virginia Tech's College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences is making active support and advancement of "diversity" a requirement for faculty to keep their positions and for promotion.
To start with, "Contributions to diversity" begin with "self-education." [Emphasis in Wood.] The first duty of the faculty member is to achieve ideological conformity, and the Dossier Guidelines gently explain how. This consists of submitting to training by the good folks at the Equal Opportunity Office, and at CEUT (Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching), and attending lots of events such as "the Diversity Summit, identity group celebrations, Campus Climate Checkup, MLK events, special speakers, annual AdvanceVT, Scholarship of Diversity conferences, events hosted by Cranwell Center or Disability Services," and etc.
"Identity group celebrations" is an interesting way to demonstrate commitment to diversity. Is a pro-Israel celebration of the defeat of Palestinians going to count? What about a pro-Palestinian celebration of the defeat of Israelis? Or a pro-Catholic celebration of California's Proposition 8, or a pro-homosexual celebration of the possible defeat of Proposition 8? Is a racist or sexist identity group going to count?
All this stuff testifies to the conviction of the senior Virginia Tech administrators that the University's faculty members give little credence to the concept of "diversity." Many of those faculty members apparently have to be coerced into agreeing with the doctrine. No such assumption comes with the other kinds of service. It is assumed on those cases that the value of going to workshops, serving on committees, and assisting students in extra-curricular activities is self-evident. Only "diversity" requires reprogramming the ideas, ideals, and social attitudes of faculty members.
Tomorrow we can do "what's wrong with political correctness in your child's school".. Where WEEKLY common sense and reason is tossed COMPLETELY out the winder so that Political Correct Police can impose order..
Don't remember harrassing 8 yr olds for chewing their toast into the shape of a gun? Or the New England middle school that painted over the musket of their "patriot" mascot and put a broom in his hand?
Or last week -- the nine yr old that got tossed for kissing the hand of a girl??
What are you teaching these kids? Other than we don't live in a free country anymore and they are treated as INMATES in the public schools??

How oblivious do you have to be to not know that those "crazy m'fuckers" are ORGANIZED and their PC rules are CODIFIED in writing, training, and regulations ???
It's not that we have to LOOK for the crazy ones. EVERY school admin can SHOW YOU the rules.. And G-forbid, YOUR KID wears a Marine Corps tee shirt or religious symbol to school and gets suspended -- you will meet the WHOLE ARMY of them..
Don't buy that all this is unusual and isolated. It's a systemic problem with a lot of its own infrastructure.. Ever been to sensitity training?? Its a huge business.

How late you wanna work tonight denier? Tell me when we can move on to touching or banned speech...
Conservatives now play the PC card the way they often accuse others of playing the race card.
It used to be called being polite and decent to people.
When you're living your life according to a book that was written hundreds or thousands of years ago, and that book's instructions reflect the mores of the times in which it was written, to justify adhering to that book assumes that the book got nothing wrong.
That adherence assumes that all social progress ended at the moment that book was finished.
So a person should be fired or castigated for their personal views? ANY personal views that go against the grain of a protected class? And we are not talking about name calling here. A person cannot hold a view opposed to those held by the "right" people without fearing for their economic and social well being? They have to hide what they think just to preserve their own way of life?
I guess some animals are more equal than others.
Chris Rock explained it best....
Two fat girls can joke about how fat they are, but if a skinny girl does it, it is just plain mean
Two poor people can joke about how poor they are, but if a rich person does it, it is just plain mean
Get it?

Thats a real chicken shit position.. Lets see how much you value civil liberties.. Would you favor legislation REQUIRING the disclosure of being under psych care? Would you allow their parents to commit them without legal proceedings? Should a university be REQUIRED to notify law enforcement if they evidence of severe mental issues? Im sure the NRA would welcome your thoughts on how to add them to a no-gun list, if you do it without smashing the rest of the Bill of Rights.. Go start a thread using those pixs and tutoring us as to separating crazy morons from the public... NOT HERE.
