a question for you... Dominic Send a noteboard - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM
If they wanted to actually increase the diversity in their school they would encourage conservatives to go there



you make it sound that liberal = LGBT...

I have a few friends who are part of that community who consider themselves conservative republicans... Why do you make the connection that because they are LGBT that they are seeking liberals over conservatives. Why can't a Log Cabin Republican or a member of GOProud gain addmission to this university as well??

Personally I still favor demographic blind subsidies as the best route to meritocracy. Joel - 25/08/2011 08:18:20 PM 544 Views
it works for gender as well random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:02:58 PM 555 Views
Sure; insert your demographic here. Joel - 26/08/2011 12:51:48 AM 603 Views

There are colleges that don't allow homosexuals - or men, or women for that matter. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 547 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 449 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 509 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 243 Views
sorry that ended with NM. Were you trying to make a point if so I missed it *NM* random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:40:48 PM 253 Views
I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 537 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 556 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 491 Views
no I was talking about feel good solutions to imaginary problems random thoughts - 26/08/2011 01:38:33 PM 568 Views
it is a scholarship program not a admissions program random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:12:47 PM 564 Views
I don't really have a problem with this Isaac - 25/08/2011 09:03:55 PM 642 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 483 Views
their stated motive was to increase diversity random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:09:17 PM 639 Views
well. It could be they just needed a reason, but for some reason couldn't be forthright? LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 03:28:52 AM 473 Views
One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 611 Views
that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 458 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 485 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 456 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 444 Views
Wow what a strawman Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:23:45 PM 632 Views

*nod* I don't deny that it's a problem LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 04:26:56 PM 612 Views
a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 647 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 454 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 611 Views
