Protests on college campuses

[Anonymous]

The protests are not only on the campuses of USC and Columbia. In the DC region, GWU's encampment with area colleges and universities' students joining in at DC/GWU campus. What effect if any will this have? Many have compared '23+'24 to the 60s/Vietnam.

The thread in the college forum was closed but I don't see anything about the Emory protest here. People keep belittling the college students and professors. WHY? Good for the students for protesting! It's the cops who are completely over the top here.

Many? Do you remember 2003 at all? This is like occupy wall street or something.

I wasn't alive during Vietnam so have no direct memory of it, but I have a hard time likening the current situation to one that involved drafting young American men against their will and sending them to face the horrors of war overseas.

Just wait. Biden will send troops so the Israelis do not have to fight.

No, he won't, but any troops he sends anywhere have volunteered to serve their country. It's wonderful to live in a time when you don't have to pretend to have bone spurs if you decide not to serve.

DP. If you talk to *some* older people, they have been watching videos online of current protests and they'll start telling stories of 'those days' protests comparing to what they are seeing now.

There has never been peace on Earth and never will be.

Of course there can be. Unfortunately the choice is in the hands of a few.
