When I first saw the subject I thought I read "Saint Cuthbert Day" and wondered wtf kind of Greyhawk thing was going.

I am such a geek.

I try to stay informed. ^_^

Not nearly the terribly ignored redflag it was played up to be. That's a basic warning that al-qida/taliban forces were dangerous and needed to be dealt with. Some of it's predictions weren't even acurate, in particular with the Northern Alliance, they were *not* wiped out come that spring, which is...

If he where teaching this to the class...They could terminate him on the spot...Contractual Breech No, no they couldn't. That is not how having tenure works. That's why a professor or teacher wants tenure. They can't fire you on the spot at all. It's VERY hard to get rid of a tenured professor even...

What do you mean what is my defense? I don't recall defending any particular side of the arguement here. All I've done is tell you what's going on and what it's about. He is not fired right now, this is true. He's under a 30 day review as laid down by the tenants of his tenure. He may or may not be ...

The linked article doez not mention him teaching this No it doesn't, but as I'm sure you're aware no one article ever tells the whole story. I've been following this issue since it first hit the news. University of Colorado wanted to fire him, but obviously they have do so by the rules that govern ...

I'll agree the Christian music part probably ought to have been left out, that does give a hint of an insult, and unlike the DMB part, isn't acurate in reality either.

And it's not the fact that he was teaching this, which he may, or may not have been That's exactly what it was about, he can write whatever he wants. The issue is that he is/was teaching something contradictory or not related to what he is paid to teach. The bottom line of the acusation is that he ...

Ever wonder why the US combats all forms of government other than Democracy...Communism, Socialism, Dictatorships, etc...Even though, we currently have a Socialist in Congress?!?... Remove socialism from your statement, we haven't attacked anyone for socialism. Those other governments have oppresse...

This is a state university, not a public school, it isn't kids. I agree that open thought should be taught, but teaching open thought isn't the accusation here. The issue of his job security revolves entirely around "is he doing what he is paid to do?". The answer is yet to come, I don't know the sc...

I just wanted to weigh in on this one, I meant to sooner. The thing about this guy isn't what he's saying. I mean, saying we deserve another 9/11 is pretty fucking up thing to say, and I think he's a douche for doing it. But it's right to say that. The issue at hand is what he is teaching in the cla...

I would kill someone in front of their own mother for a Double Decker Taco.

Am I a sell out for loving Taco Bell? I know it's far from authentic or high quality, but I love it.

On my personal experience both from driving through and working with my customers in the Lonsdale area, there is a very strong urban culture there. It lends itself more to urban/street types of music. Rap and hiphop, and I've heard a fair bit of reggae and soul and funk from folks there. Among the o...

I'm not exactly "new" per se but obviously only recently have I become anything vaguely resembling active on the board. I wanted to ask what the general guidelines are for topics, like what's okay to bring up and what isn't. Obviously a certain amount of politics comes up, but I haven't noticed a wh...

I wasn't talking to you specifically, I just think it's a silly thing to be offended by.

"Damnit Jim, it's not all about you!"

How is that offensive? The quiz doesn't say anything at all derogatory or insulting. It's a fair statement to say there aren't a lot of DMB fans in Lonsdale. It's a fact of the culture in that part of town, it's true in other places too, but Lonsdale is well enough known to be a viable subject for t...

I still think you're trying to call me fat.

But, if you look at the Marvel Ultimates line of comics

Nooooo, it burnsssss us.
