Which I would probably respond to in public if at all.  We live in a survellance society now, the one of always dreamed about by pigs like Coldren.

No.  I know people older than you who have less nice things to say about medevil relgious fanatics.

Oh no.  I'm fucking quaking.  Do I need a box of tissues?

Because its just not in my makeup.  My father was a pornographer.  And a sailor.  He onced asked me after I let out a stream of profanity  "Holy goat-fucking jesus do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I replied "Yeah Pop, and your mother too"

Too which he then responded "Wow... Now I actually believe you are my son"

Politics doesnt have rules.  

Von Clauswitz once said that war is politics continued by other means.

I say politics is war continued by other means.  

But in life and death struggle, which politics is for some people, fair is not a consideration.

Why?

No really... explain to me why you think that is.

awesome.  Good thing you dont have the power to shut me up.  Online or in real life (even if you were younger).

You can see him in Episode VI of the Star Wars movies going "Hunta Haga  Solo Ha ha ha..."

Yeah.  one who's time has passed.

And they should drink bleach.

No they dont.   They should have gone somewhere else.     

 And the ones that were there in my time were disgusting little worms always out for attention.  There would be one or two in every entering class.  They were "different" and "special" in High School so somebody pointed them at Antioch.  Then they came and were so.. average...

Always the same thing. They would Do something offensive... Just on the line, to create controversy so the could play oppressed white male.  Like call their dorm room "straight safe space", with a huge sign.  

Some of them are so fucking pathetic they talk about their experience years later in their biographies while refering to themselves in third person.  Like this pathetic fucktard from the 90s:  http://www.juliandarius.com/bio.php  still crying 14 years later that we made him so depressed he nearly killed himself.  When I read shit like that I lamment the fact that razors are kept behind the counter at CVS.

I blame alien chemicals in the water supply and a lack of breast feeding.

also... dont mistake me or most current Antioch student students for liberals.

Right... it includes respect for free speach, which of course you throw out the window at the first mention of manually delivered mutual sexual gratification between consenting adults being discussed by adult college graduates in the context of Bapists doing it... Presumably without dancing.

If you were planning on holding your breath for that you might die. I suggest you learn quickly to live with disappointment.,
