why arre you picking on john and what are your qualifications to determine that someone is "mentally ill?"

Rick,

You'll need to redirect your question to Tailgater regarding the diagnosis of mentally ill. It is actually John Drabinski who is offering this medical diagnosis as part of his debate on the topic. Your point is taken. I'm not sure John has any qualifications to be diagnosing anyone as mentally ill or in a fit of paranoia but he has done both on this thread. I believe the general symptoms that led to the particular diagnosis generally involve simply not agreeing with Mr Drabinski.

"Glad to see that the McCarthyite urges of the extreme right are alive and well out there...and applauded by the mentally ill extreme right of this board." -JDRABINSKI

"This is demonstrably NOT the case, so I can only conclude that you all are in a fit of paranoia. And I really mean that. " -JDRABINSKI

Just remember Johnny...Marx died a broken and penniless man. I'm not discounting all of his writings, but to live blindly by them and then to sacrifice oneself to "work for the man" is a surrender tactic. The "Foundation" and the "Superstructure" is an accurate account to Capitalism. I guess when a teacher falls on their mantras and prostitutes their entire exisitence for a buck they're no better than someone that's never left the cave and been "enlightened"!

I am still under the influence of strange and mysterious drugs, that cloud men's minds.

i have lost a few brain cells that will grow back. i can hear the synapses jumping and popping, and if i close my eyes, i can see little flashes of multicolored bulbs. like little tiny christmas lights.

i have no idea what i am even thinking most of the time, but if you look into my eyes, you will not see the back of my skull.

my son ross started playing hockey about 10 years ago, he's 40 now. does that make me a hockey dad also.

Rick,

Good point about my last class, it was the mandatory Drivers Education required by the state for speeding tickets!

However, I have discussed this subject at length with neighbors who have kids in all levels of school and happen to know that they share the same concerns as I do when it comes to the "Political Correctness" subject matters that are being taught in our school systems. History? What Civil War? We did fight such a thing, but it was not important in the events that have shaped this nation (this is PC talk, not me)! I am concerned that we are turning out students who have no idea about historical events such as sinking of the Maine, The Alamo and its implications, to sight a few!

you old hot rod you.

i hope you don't cut off drivers trying to park also.

Rick,

Of course that makes you a hockey dad. The only difference is I still have to drive or fly my son everywhere he needs to go.

Yet again, I ask for some proof of this invasion of the Leftists in education, and the best I can get it "I talked to someone who said that their kid said that..." Still waiting for someone to DEMONSTRATE this idea that college kids (or other kids) are being brainwashed with Leftist ideas.

It isn't true, it's a paranoid myth, and that's why no one can give proof.

My claims of 'mental illness' here are clearly rhetorical remarks. Please do not take them seriously and commit yourselves to an asylum.

Rick, is your son still playing hockey ??

I answered...rhetorically!

Say...only because I like you, I'll let you and only you in on this special joust. You deserve it.

"What cracks me up about these sort of threads is how everyone is an expert on what professors do. Fact is, however, that no one here has a clue. Unless you are a professor, you don't know."

John, I'm a Senior Network Architect. By applying your logic, unless “anyone” else on this board is a Senior Network Architect, they have no business talking to me about networks because they don’t know …. From shineola? How can this be logical thinking?

Actually, we can take this a step further.

Why would any of us claim that today's professors are so left wing? Or, more correctly, why would we deny this?

Only one on these boards would be inclined to give a BIASED response.

John, you're so busy denying the charge that you fail to see the inherent bias.

Heck, most professors are likely to the right of your views. But that doesn't make them conservative, or even moderate. They're simply less-left than you are.

And thank goodness for that.
