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 691 Views

But that's just a scholarship. Great Lord of Chaos - 25/08/2011 09:34:23 PM 722 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 580 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 656 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 298 Views

I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 684 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 703 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 639 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 620 Views

One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 760 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 630 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 605 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 584 Views

a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 832 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 598 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 761 Views
