Was everyone here aware that during the 90's Birkenstock was shown to donate a large chunk of its profits to Nazi party members in South America? Birkenstocks must be evil too - what will the unwashed college masses and professors do now?

Riddle me this, Batman.
Why is it that the same leftist environmental wackos who so oppose SUVs because they use Mideast oil turn around and keep us dependent on Mideast oil by not allowing drilling in Alaska? Check the American terrorists thread for more of this stupidity. |

So, if you want all students and professors to go and "get real jobs" because they aren't "normal people" are you saying you are not in favour of higher education at all? Or are you simply saying that if you are involved in higher education you should not be allowed to have a political voice (lets forget all about the "get a real job" bit for that one, shall we? I expect that a large number of people went to University on this forum and it does them a disservice to say that they shouldn't have bothered but instead they should have got a "real job"). Either way, whichever one you are saying, I can't see a single strand of logic to back up your idea. I hate it when people say things along that line - it utterly dimisses the arguments of a group of people for no other reason than their occupation. So students aren't allowed a voice who is exactly? If you can only voice your opinion if you are gainfully employed then are the retired allowed a say? The unemployed? Just taking your argument to its logical conclusion. Not even that, in fact, as you propose that some jobs aren't even "real" (professors for example) so who knows where you draw the line between who can have their say and who can't. Does everyone who educates for a living not have a real job? Ah, forget it, this just gets me sooooo uptight. I'll try and stay away from this thread for a bit.

Take deep breaths , Barry. I wasnt attacking professors and schoolkids. I was just makeing a smart ass remark about the unwashed masses and the lazy "activists". Since you took the time to post such a large response I will at least pay you the respect to answer it.
