Ridiculous. Everyone knows conservatives are incapable of creativity. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 25/08/2011 11:12:10 PM
Seriously though, I suppose if they want to intentionally increase the number of LGBT students, it's their prerogative. Like you said though, I doubt it's actually going to increase their diversity. They probably have an LGBT presence on campus already.

Your idea about inviting more conservatives to increase diversity is amusing though. Probably too easy to fake though.

Personally I still favor demographic blind subsidies as the best route to meritocracy. Joel - 25/08/2011 08:18:20 PM 799 Views
it works for gender as well random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:02:58 PM 803 Views

There are colleges that don't allow homosexuals - or men, or women for that matter. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 784 Views

But that's just a scholarship. Great Lord of Chaos - 25/08/2011 09:34:23 PM 817 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 691 Views
I would have no problem with a LGBT only school as long as it didn't take state money random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:27:48 PM 773 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 348 Views

I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 791 Views
I know my reply to his message may have made in seem that I was objecting to the scholarship random thoughts - 25/08/2011 11:10:33 PM 820 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 742 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 716 Views
their stated motive was to increase diversity random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:09:17 PM 873 Views

One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 874 Views

I don't think most people believed Obama was a centrist so much as the anti-Bush random thoughts - 26/08/2011 12:40:43 AM 728 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 711 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 686 Views

a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 965 Views
I guess my question for you is how I made it sound like LGBT=liberal random thoughts - 26/08/2011 09:47:16 PM 715 Views
My guess is because you referenced "the lefts" fuzzy logic in a thread about a LGBT scholarship. Joel - 26/08/2011 11:07:32 PM 869 Views
