I think Paleocon has every right to voice his opinion. It's a right guaranteed, and I have the same right. Never, never did I concur or agree that non-PC speech shouldn't be welcomed at colleges. Never! And it is wrong of you to imply that and totally unfair on your part. Damn straight I take strong offense at someone referring to African-American kids as thieves and other denigrating remarks and whites should have a discussion about keeping their children away from blacks. It stinks to high hell.jsteele wrote:Anonymous wrote:It seems that the College forum is now the Political forum to spout Paleocon's approval of the truth by John Derbyshire and the like, posting under the guise of looking for schools.

Let's see, Paleocon vs UMD booster. I'll go with the booster. Pain in the ass and MAJOR annoyance? YES. But there has never been a hint of racism from the UMD booster.
However, best to just not open his threads. If Jeff can hang with him and the present College Forum soap box discussion option about the talk to non-black children, I guess I can too with the 'don't open the thread' option.
UMD Booster is far more disruptive than Paleocon. You can easily skip Paleocon's few threads. UMD Booster shows up just about everywhere. While UMD Booster's racism may not be apparent, he is obsessed with homosexuality, abortion, and anal sex. I can certainly do without his posts on those topics.
I've deleted Paleocon's latest thread, but I again think you guys are not fair to him. You really should just skip his threads. What happened in this one is that he posed his question about colleges. He was asked about the phrase "cultural Marxism" that he used and a couple of posters criticized speakers that he mentioned. When he responded to those posters, you reported his thread. You sort of prove his point that non-PC speech is not welcome at colleges.

Hee hee! I saw what you did, pp.
I think Jeff is paleoconprep. He logs with his paleoconprep id to sock puppet is own site. It's brilliant! I bet it's been years in the making.![]()
It is true that when I was in high school my political views were not all that far from Paleocon's. But, I grew out of them fast and never would want to return to those days. Maybe that's why I have patience with him.

Of course, Affirmative Action is a volatile subject but it inevitably turns into political discussion. What do you think of this discussion is heading and do we have to see it go political in college discussion?
