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 666 Views
it works for gender as well random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:02:58 PM 677 Views
Sure; insert your demographic here. Joel - 26/08/2011 12:51:48 AM 719 Views

There are colleges that don't allow homosexuals - or men, or women for that matter. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 664 Views
Alright then, socially unacceptable. Joel - 26/08/2011 01:00:16 AM 691 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 563 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 631 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 289 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 305 Views
I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 655 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 680 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 617 Views
no I was talking about feel good solutions to imaginary problems random thoughts - 26/08/2011 01:38:33 PM 685 Views
it is a scholarship program not a admissions program random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:12:47 PM 678 Views
I don't really have a problem with this Isaac - 25/08/2011 09:03:55 PM 730 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 598 Views
their stated motive was to increase diversity random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:09:17 PM 746 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 590 Views
One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 736 Views
that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 562 Views
That's an interesting point... Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:37:37 PM 661 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 607 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 585 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 556 Views
Wow what a strawman Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:23:45 PM 742 Views

I agree there is a lot of fuzzy logic on the right as well random thoughts - 26/08/2011 02:41:03 PM 619 Views
*nod* I don't deny that it's a problem LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 04:26:56 PM 728 Views
a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 780 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 575 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 741 Views
