Rver,

No thread on a cigar forum should be powerful enough to ruin someone's day. For example:

When I came to the realization that the profits from Ann Coulter's upcoming book sales were but a minor component to Bertelsmann AG and I would have to buy stock on the Frankfurt exchange, I was bummed out to realize that there wasn't really a good way to take advantage of the situation and realistically share in the profits with Ann Coulter from fleecing her target audience. Bummed yes...ruined my day, no. There will always be other opportunities.

Hockey Dad is 100% correct. He did hit 100.

The rest is typical gibberish, but for a moment, albeit a brief one, he was correct.

And I was here to see it. Thanks HD.

Don't worry Rugrunner, I'm not the least bit surprised that you see gibberish.

Have a cold Miller Lite and enjoy your day!

Not likely HD.
At least it's a new approach, attacking me for low end beer consumption!

You are as on target with that as most everything else you post.

Rugrunner,

If you feel I am attacking you beer comsumption habits or choice of brands, I apologize. I am sorry for the confusion regarding this matter or anything else I have posted.

Enjoy a cold or warm domestic or imported high or low quality beer or any other beverage of your choosing in the container format of your choice and enjoy your day!

HD, I assumed you were alluding to my socio-economic level with that. If not, maybe I owe you an apology.

Drath,
Okay, I agree there are general courses the first 2 years. I believe to satisfy my writing requirement I took Intro to Hong Kong Film Making (Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee all the way). There was an advanced composition course somewhere in there as well, but I don't think I went or did very well (I was more interested in my Russian Language courses). That was everything I was required to take. My point was that as a scientist, I didn't have to worry about indoctrination because no one cared one way or another. In essence I was saying, "don't take a women's lib class if you don't want to hear feminist theory."

1) "The national average for Republicans in college History Departments is 0" This is not an accurate statement. I know this because I tried looking it up. It occurred to me, after wasting some time, that this is the sort of thing which would be difficult to measure. In fact, how could one accurately know this? The closest I could find was a study done by UCLA which reported nationally professors broke down into: 5.3% far left, 42.3% liberal,34.3% middle, 17.7% conservative and .3% far right.
So, there seem to be more liberal professors, but you cannot claim that this is an overwhelming majority.

2) elections???? So, this vast conspiracy is to get parents to pay money to let left-wing nutjobs educate their children so that they vote democrat? You're kidding right? Thats an awful lot of work for something which will not be effective most of the time. What about all the scientists and engineers who never bother to take a poli sci course? How are they being indoctrinated?

3) Were you able to show (successfully) that her desire to fail you was directly tied to your choice to be a college republican? Or did it have to do with your work? What grades were you receiving on your papers? What I'm getting at here is that NO professor should (or can) fail a student who receives good marks on their work and is present in class. You successfully fought back and passed the class. So, the system works, doesn't it? If the system were truly biased against republicans, then when you brought your case up to the board (or whoever) they would have said "so?, you fail".

Here we go again! More "newbs" jumping in to make doomi feel good. Maybe I should stop picking on him, I almost feel sorry for him.

vic, so you're telling me you never took History, Psychology, Sociology, Geography, Music, etc? Interesting college you attended.

1. (Your're switching up the numbers.) You can find the Zero in the same book I recomended for you above, by Dan Flynn. Argue it with him. The one Republican at my Junior College was an Economics teacher. Needless to say, I was never his student. He was the Faculty Advisor for the club though.

2. You're changing the subject to fit your needs again. Go back and read what I said to your comment about this. An even playing field anywhere. Take the indoctrination out of Colleges and High Schools and there would be more younger Republicans. The brainwashed ones usually don't come out of it until their 30's. That's when they start thinking for themselves and not letting their teachers, unions, and entertainers tell them how to feel and vote.

3. Yes. I was able to show that my grades were fine until a specific date. The date was when I joined the College Republicans and wore a pin on my jacket.

Draathar, you should be glad vicky isn't sticking his fingers in his ears and saying "watermellon, watermellon,watermellon!" That's what most liberals end up having to do.

I've seen it many times from a guy at work who thinks he can debate. Its funny because he interrupts me and everyone else all the time. I try and jump in and he says "Can I finish? Can I finish?"! The hypocracy of the left.

I used to work with a guy like that in Chicago. After awhile I got tired of making him cry like a girl everyday. Okay, that's not accurate.

I never got tired of him cry like a girl. I think he moved to Asia to sell widgets or something after he couldn't take it anymore.

Drathaar,
Getting a little personal with the comments about prostitutes aren't you? Is that the best tactic you have?

I guess you really Pwned me, right.

What a loser.

Rug, are you really going to side with this guy? He's proving himself to be the board idiot. You're a much higher level than that.

Fourth personal attack in three days on two diifferent threads, with one obvious counterdiction.

Very well rounded of you, adroomi.

Hope you enjoyed your Easter holiday.

You can only take that as personal if it mirrors the truth.

That's twice you've referred to Tey as some sort of "slave." What's your point 8track?

Do you have anything of value to add to this thread, or are you just here to create conflict as usual?

You're a pest. Knock it off.
