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 800 Views
it works for gender as well random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:02:58 PM 804 Views
Sure; insert your demographic here. Joel - 26/08/2011 12:51:48 AM 859 Views

There are colleges that don't allow homosexuals - or men, or women for that matter. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 785 Views
Alright then, socially unacceptable. Joel - 26/08/2011 01:00:16 AM 813 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 692 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 774 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 348 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 362 Views
I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 792 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 821 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 743 Views
no I was talking about feel good solutions to imaginary problems random thoughts - 26/08/2011 01:38:33 PM 808 Views
it is a scholarship program not a admissions program random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:12:47 PM 807 Views
I don't really have a problem with this Isaac - 25/08/2011 09:03:55 PM 857 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 717 Views
their stated motive was to increase diversity random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:09:17 PM 874 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 711 Views
One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 875 Views
that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 693 Views
That's an interesting point... Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:37:37 PM 784 Views

Re: that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result Nate - 25/08/2011 10:55:29 PM 804 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 729 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 712 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 687 Views
Wow what a strawman Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:23:45 PM 884 Views
yes to bad none of that address the point I was making which would make your argument a strawman random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:40:01 PM 682 Views
No I do not believe they are needed, nor do I believe they should be desired Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:47:51 PM 843 Views
so you don't disagree with me or you do? random thoughts - 25/08/2011 11:47:05 PM 818 Views

I agree there is a lot of fuzzy logic on the right as well random thoughts - 26/08/2011 02:41:03 PM 736 Views
*nod* I don't deny that it's a problem LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 04:26:56 PM 850 Views
a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 966 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 716 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 870 Views
