Yes, I did briefly. The educators are robots that punch out the same lecture five times a day and have perfected the facade of 'caring educator'. Why does a university that offers courses in 'philosophy of love' deserve federal funding. On the opposite end, tenured faculty can be the worst educators, make the most money and never be fired. Kids aren't learning anything because we have infantilised learning and a certified failed system from the 50s. People put to much faith in the government, 'it's how things are, schools need more funding'. Funding has been at a 45 degree angle since the 80s, while test scores are plummeting. The entire system needs to be revolutionised. On a side note, thankfully the free market stepped into action and charter schools are romping into shitty black and Latino neighbourhoods and whipping truant kids into shape with tact, discipline and harsh rules. Nothing says 'success' when a kid from a broken home in East-Harlem is now studying at university. Handouts won't fix these kids that have been dealt the worst hand in America, but the rough hand of the free-market will. How American is that? Through sheer hard work and dedication people are pulling these kids up by their bootstraps and giving them a chance at a future that they were never going to have a chance at I don't know about that, but I do know the reason why Public Enemy's first several albums are lauded critically is because of a skinny white nerd that was a musical prodigy produced the entire thing from scratch. It sure does make some people uncomfortable knowing that some of the most famous hip-hop has been designed by nerdy white dudes. One out of six is better than none of out none. He seems pretty proud to be a faggot, even seems to have the self-awareness to know he gets away with a lot of shit because he is a fag. You should really be upset that American university culture is the reason he exists; ten years ago Yiannopolous wouldn't even have made a ripple in the ocean, but the current zeitgeist allows him to flourish. He found a niche market and is exploiting it, entrepreneurship always gets respect from me.

He isn't? How do you know that someone on this website that didn't know him is now clicking on his articles, watching his videos and participating in his media following? It isn't always cut and dried. I also like how you threw in insult in there and tacked 'homosexual' on the end of it. It's almost if you are making a crude joke about the histrionic homosexual stereotype, much like Yiannopolous would...

Yet, he is making money from guys like you that get upset with his antics. Who is the real idiot? Besides, he doesn't need free publicity when people freely advertise for him, as we are now.

Look at it like this: it's a trickle down affect. If the university has federal funding cut (which I believe no university should receive), then perhaps they'd take a harsher stance on violence on campus (which is entirely their responsibility). In reality if a student is so unruly to the point they are threatening and destroying property, they should be expelled. They aren't being expelled because the university makes bank on students. The universities are corrupt and know it. They are no longer a learning institution but a money making scheme; students enter a contract that has them pay thousands of dollars for a certificate in a scholarly field. Since students can no longer default on student loans, it is a guaranteed $40,000 for the university but not the student. The university has no obligation to prepare the student for the workforce or to guarantee them a career.

It doesn't state that the threats were made by Neo-Nazis or white supremacists. The issue is for me; as huge skeptical is how many of the 'hate crimes' are false flags? In conjunction with actual hate crimes it is a huge issue as it victim-hood equates to power. We both know about the incident in Louisiana where a Muslim woman complained about being harassed by several Trump supporters but later confessed to lying. Or the north-eastern couple that destroyed their own vehicles and claimed it was a racist attack (they were looking for insurance money). The issue with raw statistics is that they obfuscate the context. A report vs. an actual incident is a hugely different statistic. Not only that not all cases of 'hate crime' are actually so, and it can be easy for a victim of a crime to twist into further into a hate crime. I'm withholding my judgement for now; due to past circumstances. There was an observed bubble of hate crime after the 9/11 and I'll wait for more statistics to see whether or not this is just another bubble. Also could this be just an evolving media bias that is over reporting hate crimes? Or could it be a phenomenon that people are reporting hate crimes now, whereas a year ago they wouldn't have reported it as a hate crime? We both know we can't something this serious at face value and there needs to be more information published that isn't from somewhere like the NY Times.

You can't get past the university. It isn't about the university (only Fernando said that), it is about the protesters wanting 'free speech' but using violence to dictate what can and cannot be said, that is where the hypocrisy lays. The university doesn't give a shit, they just want money and they get money by having more students and by having more students they kowtow to hoi polloi and hoi polloi want censorship. You think any university actually cares about basic ethics? They don't, because if they did people wouldn't be $40,000 in debt with a bachelor's degree in Lesbian Dance Therapy.

That is one hell of a fallacy there, fella. The talk was cancelled because of the security concerns. The security concerns were caused by the protests. The protests were caused because the protesters wanting to silence Milo Yiannopoulos. Ergo, the university calling off the event because of security concerns is a violation of free speech because that is the outcome the protesters wanted. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

I love Milo Yiannopolous, he gets people like you lot writhing in agony with tightened sphincters. Mission accomplished for Yiannopolis if you two sincerely believe those posts. He espouses a lot of nonsense but is the most entertaining clown in the media circus. Yet he fervently denies being a part of the Alt-Right and frequently mentions that he has been threatened by them. It's only the media that paints him as Alt-Right and a 'white supremacist', and they are desperate because they love a bogeyman. Looks like you bought into the media spinning and Yiannopoulis' controversy. It's exactly what he wants and you give it to him. The last I checked white guys that suck black cock usually aren't white supremacists. He doesn't even say that controversial stuff, he just crassly points out statistics and people get all wound up about it and the guy makes bank on it. He even calls himself a 'troll' yet you people still keep taking the bait, it's truly hilarious.

Who takes his position as vice-captain?

Malcolm Turnbull is a part of the globalist elite that are selling Australia out. I'll give you a crash course on Australian political discourse: The Greens are hippies that want to legalize drugs, increase government regulations and eliminate borders. Idiots. Labour wants to be America by throwing money at South-East Asia and being 'humanitarian'. Fuck the Aboriginals living in a shack huffing petrol right? That government is more concerned with protecting foreigners that the rights of their citizens. Well guess what, Australia is a tiny country that is >80% uninhabitable. Idiots. The Liberals stopped the boats! Ho fucking ray, they turned around in let in thousands of undocumented 'refugees' from Syria. They also like wasting money on referendums concerning gay marriage. Idiots. At the end of the day Australia is fucked until they really tighten up immigration laws, only accepting skilled immigrants (we have enough fucking useless Australians) and till they actually put the LARGEST deposit of uranium to use instead of selling it to China. A few months ago the entire state of South Australia lost power for about an hour because of idiotic 'green policies' that have no real world application. http://politicalaustralia.com.au/ You think American politicians are disconnected from reality, wait till you meet the Australians.

Ultimately why are people surprised there was an attack in Quebec? That province isn't necessarily the most tolerant of outsiders. The Quebec Liberation Front used to bomb people for not speaking French! Quebec is very prone to nationalistic and xenophobic tendencies as they are extremely protective of their culture.

American morality really echoes the moral codes of Judaism and Christianity. When I think of Americans, I honestly do believe that charity, brotherly love, altruism and equality. You mentioned earlier the veneer of modern society, well if you look past the rampant consumerism and shallowness there is a sincere desire for equality in all areas, whether misdirected or not is up for debate. America is the most charitable nation in the world (as it should be) and the top 1% of Americans are the most charitable people in the world (Occupy Wall Street wouldn't tell you that). I recall reading one of the fundamental concepts of Jewish morality is charity and tithing no matter how much material wealth one possesses. The idea is that everyone is eternally giving to one another that which one needs, and you can see this with the huge amounts of charitable wealth that is donated nationally and internationally. The USA ended slavery, one of the first nations to do so, created a huge welfare system (its positive net outcome can be debated), has allowed millions of migrants to create new lives and a constitution that promotes freedom and equality. Take the following anecdote how you will. Slavery in America began with the capturing of African tribesmen by other Africans, mainly Barbaries and Magrebhis, if I recall correctly. The captured men and women would be sold off to mainly western-Europeans and Middle-Easterners. The middle-easterns would castrate all their slaves to prevent procreation, that is why you don't see many sub-Saharan peoples roaming around the middle-east these days. The Europeans on the other hand didn't do that and allowed their slaves to reproduce. An interesting dichotomy arouse amongst European slave owners. Indentured Servants (owned for about nine years) and slaves. The former were nearly exclusively Irish in the states. They were more prone to sun burns, and tropical diseases. On top of the fact they were only 'leased' for a limited period of time, they were worked to death. Many indentured servants died before their lease was over. On the other hand, the African slaves were treated horribly but they were seen as far more desirable and valuable then the white servants. They were far less often worked to death in unsuitable conditions. Eventually after many years, around 700,000 white people died fighting a war that somewhat concerned slavery and a surprisingly racist president got shot in the back of his head by a crazy thespian. I had a point with this story but I forget because my wife starting talking to me. Yes, America has a dirty history but every nation does. You must weigh the positives against the negatives; for America I'd say the former far outweigh the latter. I'd take ending slavery, civil rights, women's suffrage, the constitution and charity over throwing gays from roofs and refusing women to drive cars.

1. True. 2. The separation of church and state does not separate the fact that the USA was founded on a basic moral principle derived from Christianity and Empiricism. The entire western world was founded on Chrisitanity. 3. Wrong, that is completely based on conjecture and fear. The Quebec police have arrested one suspect and disclosed no information regarding the attacker besides his name. There have been zero reports that the attack was carried out by a Christian Radical. You are doing exactly what many people do with alleged Muslim Attacks, you are filling in the blanks with your own agenda and assumptions. Your attack on Fernando is actually quite shameful and hypocritical, in the USA, he is allowed the freedom of speech and religion and you shaming that right by suggesting it belongs in the stone age. Fernando or people like him aren't the reason for terrorist attacks, at some point you have to place blame on the actual perpetrators, not the victims. From a non-biased perspective, I'd rather live under Papal law than Sharia. Steve Bannon is not a white supremacist. White Supremacists do not in fact hire gay Jews with a fetish for black men to be their editor-in-cheif. White supremacists don't inherit a website founded by a Jew. White supremacists do not work for Goldhman Sachs (a Jewish company) for years There has been zero statements that directly deny climate change. What allies have been alienated and threatened? What is wrong with the pipeline? Do you not want ethical oil from Canada? Do you prefer having oil shipped in from Saudi Arabia, a country with a list of human rights violations longer than the golden gate bridge?

Obama also had the media in his pocket and a personality cult. They were deathly afraid of criticising him and rabidly defended him when he was. The fact that there are people in the States with Obama number stickers, t-shirts, etc. is actually quite a concerning phenomenon. I think people are a lot more tolerant of dictators than they realise. In saying that though, I do draw a line in difference between having a 'Hope' shirt during the '07 election to wearing an Obama shirt in 2016. Getting caught up in the campaign storm is very different to outright adoration. If people still unironically wear a MAGA hat in a couple months, then I'd start worrying. It's funny really, Obama deported more Mexicans than any other presidente.

Obama did it both times. Both bans are were created by the Obama administration, the only difference between the first and last is that Trump put the second into action.

I wasn't talking about Islam, I was just using a hypothetical example. Though it should be noted there are major issues in Pakistan and Afghanistan concerning paedophilia. Just as you, I'm no expert on the subject; so I can't say for sure where the lines of culture and Islam cross over; you should look into it; really nasty stuff. A fellow I know that served in the US Marines for a decade stated that US army personnel were told not to intervene when issues like domestic violence, rape, sexual abuse, etc were happening. 'Just turn a blind eye'. You may disagree but many nations are failed states with failed cultures; there are always outliers but nothing is made equal. It's a sad reality but not everyone can integrate but for those that do, fantastic. I've nothing against Islam (like all religions it can change, adapt and bend to modern society), but I do question very deeply the culture of the nations where fundamental-Islam tends to flourish. The culture of Saudi Arabia for example is an antithesis to the USA. I don't give a toss if a Saudi is a closet Atheist, if he identifies with the culture of Saudi, then it raises red-flags for me. There are extremists all over the world but the socio-economic issues of the middle-east tends to propagate extremism. If that is your barometre for a militarised society then nearly every nation in the history of humanity falls under that. I can give you a few examples; Switzerland had a huge economy based on mercenaries, Prussia, French Revolution, Great Leap Forward, Bolshevik Revolution, British Colonialism, three Japanese civil wars, Cuban Revolution, Yugoslavic War, Crusades, Jihads, Vietnam War, Korean War, 1st French Empire, Sudanese Civil War, and even Australia and New Zealand's cultural identity was forged in the World Wars. As far as I'm concerned there has been very few militarised societies in human history (Sparta, Prussia, Mongols, Sengoku and Edo-Japan for example). The USA was born from a lot less blood than many older civilisations. There is more to a culture than how a household is ran. Just because you eat different foods and have different rules doesn't mean you don't follow the same American morality or culture. Diversity is ultimately a weakness for any nation, because if a nation is pulled into four different directions it is just drawn and quartered. Divide and conquer, that is how nations are destroyed. Drive a wedge in between a social class, an ethnic group or a language group and you've got issues. People are strong with a common identity, it doesn't matter what sort of sub-culture or minor difference you observe at the home. An East-Coaster and a Southerner still have far more in common with each other than a Nigerian. I'm against the dilution of culture, I'd rather a world where American, Brazilians, Japanese, Koreans, Australians, English, French, South-African and Turks all have their differences. Though not all cultures are created equally and I don't particularly miss the cannibalism of many Polynesian peoples.

Yes it does. If a personally has a fundamentally weird view that in their minds justifies paedophilia; they are not integrated into American society. America was not founded by the musket, it was founded by hard working and industrious Anglos and Dutch that cultivated a society of success which would develope America into the world's leading power five hundred or so years later. America is not a militarised society and never has been. I look at Muslim Americans and see nothing, because I don't assume anything about people. I know that 13% (give or take) support suicide bombing but that does not mean I believe that any Muslim I meet believes or disbelieves that notion. America is not a melting pot. It is a fairly homogeneous culture that has had great success assimilating the best parts of many cultures into it. Sudan is one of the worst nations in the world. Slavery, genital mutilation, death penalty for apostasy, amongst other things. I'd say the threat of death for religion fits nicely under government and cultural terrorism. Just because something exists doesn't grant it the right to exist.

13% of American Muslims think it suicide bombing is justified depending on the circumstance. That is 13% too high. That isn't a success of 87% that is a resounding failure of 13%. 49% of Muslim-Americans think they are Muslims before Americans, that isn't integration. It is three percent higher than Christian Americans but the key difference is that America was created and founded by Protestants, many of America's founding moralities are Christian and the majority are Christian or at the very least observe a casualised Christian lifestyle. http://www.people-press.org/2011/08/30/muslim-americans-no-signs-of-growth-in-alienation-or-support-for-extremism/ The data just doesn't cut the mustard on 'integration' for me.

Iraqis were banned in 2011 under Obama. Where was the outrage? Funny how the media can spin something so quickly. I'm not saying that justifies anything but all I ask for is intellectual honesty, criticism people for the same issues. It doesn't become okay just because someone else commits an action. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444370/donald-trump-refugee-executive-order-no-muslim-ban-separating-fact-hysteria I had a horribly expensive and excruciating long wait to be legal in the USA. All I want is for people entering the country legally and illegally to face the same bureaucratic punishment I went through, otherwise I want by ~$10,000 back.

Careful how you talk about the devil, it's best not to make enemies.

Perhaps

Completely wrong, it is the other way around. Identity politics is the core of modern political discourse.

Milo Yiannopolous, Gavin McInness, and Tucker Carlson are hilarious.

What a shame what has happened to the cradle of civilisation and the Levant. I blame the Mongols torching Baghad to the ground. It is an anecdote that the rivers ran black with the ink of thousands of years of knowledge for weeks. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Persia didn't succumb to Islam and the Arabs. Funny how Zoroastrianism has almost faded to dust. Would we have a more peaceful world? Would Christianity have flourished in the Levant? Who knows but interesting to think about.

Just wear these for the next several decades.
