<<And EVERY group has criminals.>>

Probably true about the Methodists, but are you sure about them Presbyterians?

<< Tex I know you just can't wait to start calling the bad guys Liberals. It appears this is a racial issue though. >>



I would agree if there was proof that it was hispanics from that group that did the theft.

I think its far more likely to be suburban white kids living off Daddy's money and need a cause.

No, it's probably the members of MECha....who are probably hispanic...but neither of us will know unless some arrests and convictions are made. You're just assuming it was suburban white kids as this would give you even more grounds to be outraged.

If it was the MECha group, and I am sure it is, it shows an even greater double standard on behalf of Berkeley. Once again, if the situations were reversed they would have been expelled as racists.

Don't you guys have ANYTHING better to do than bash/insult Berkeley? Yeah, the school's liberal, we know. You're conservative, we know. You think Berkeley sucks, we know that, too. Every day, though, there's a new article posted on here about how Berkeley sucks. You want to make a difference? Move to Berkeley and run for city council. All you do is complain.

No, actually Tex is probably right (though it was completely by accident so don't get too excited now ;))

There's a group of mostly white kids (though there's some a few Asians and a handful of Middle Easterners, South Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics) who take it upon themselves to jump over everything.

When the school was threatening to slow down funding to the Asian Studies department a couple years ago, it was white people who were sleeping in tents in front of a building I had my class in (which prevented me from attending class :|)

On September 11 within hours of the attack, when they knew a reaction by the government was imminent, they were already protesting on Sproul plaza and walking through there, you could only see white faces.

When the dailyCal ran a cartoon that depicted the suicide bombers as evil people headed for hell, the group stormed the dailyCal offices...Local papers ran the story and sure, there were a couple Middle Eastern faces in the mix but mostly, it was those same random white kids.

Anyhow, back to the topic, yeah, it was probably these exact same guys...

As a liberal I advocate killing anybody who preaches hate, especially Al Qaeda.

As an aside, I wonder what the rest of us will have to do if Bush and his Fundamentalist Christian buddies are in power at the end time and they need to push the button to destroy evil knowing they will destroy the world, but knowing too that the good guys are going to heaven. What a moral dilema. Do you act against a religious nut case, if your opinion is that he is a nut case, when he threatens the extinction of life, possibly killing him if necessary, or do you, knowing that killing is wrong, let him push the button. Just a hypothetical for those who like ethical challenges. I'm sure nothing like that will ever come to pass. :D

An assumption based on past history. The last 2 break ins were by white kids.

Not suprised.

Agreed. And they should be arrested immediatly. If the authorities really wanted to find out who they are, they would.

A week in jail without Daddy's money or their cellphones would cause most of them to crack like an egg.

And that would affect the Campus how...?
What you would have to do is become a Regent, and have other Regents supporting you, and and only then could change the system from within.

Nothing like guilty until proven innocent, yes?

'Sides, I doubt any of them would do any time. Community service MAYBE, but not any time.

<< Proof that conservatives can be whining pussies, too. >>




For real...


Him whinning about Berkely and comparing the actions there to that of the general Liberal population is
like a Liberal complaining about the KKK or those Waco/Oklahoma City nuts comparing them to all Conservatives.



Berkely is beyond Liberal and borders on anarcho-socialism.



Please find another more credible source for your whinning about Liberals...

I gave you other colleges performing similar acts..for real.

Your chosing to dismiss them shows you are not willing to face the real problem here.

Sigh....

Why are you so worried about students at colleges...they always have and always will be somewhat liberal...
I'm sure they will lose alot of that Liberal thinking once they get into the real world..

Like popular quote goes,

"If you're not a liberal at the age of 20 you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at the age of 40, you have no brain"


College is a time of experimentation in order to find ourselves....SO give it a break...
Unless you think we should all be shot like they did at Kent State

Hmm, so racist Hispanics are liberals? Somehow it seems people are making assumptions that fit within their views, in a lame attempt of using it against their favorite target.

Hmm lets see, Hispanics who are already the vast majority vote liberal, going to a liberal school, known to be protesting a conservative newspaper.

Yeah the odds are really against them being liberal LOL


Oh btw, where did I say that all racist hispanics are liberal?

Or for that matter, where did I say all hispanics are racist?



Oh thats right, I didn't LOL

Ok..acording to your logic the following sentence is true:


Mexicans are newspaper theives that thwart free speech!


Please stop generalizing

And who said conservatives never whine. ;)

But I'll admit that those who did it are wrong. That's undisputable.

<< Ranked 3rd of all states in total GAY couples.. >>

Well Texas is the third most populous state in the Union. Stands to reason we have the 3rd largest Gay couple population in the U.S. Don't apply for that PhD in statistics just yet. :p

Proud to say Texas has not been carried by a Democrat in the last three presidential elections.

Anyway...back to the topic. In my four years at UT Austin, I remember quite a few examples of Bolsheviks like MeCHA (yes we have a chapter here, as well) resorting to childish tactics as a means to stifle conservative thought...or anything that even questioned their viewpoints.

It's always an inspiring challenge to be a conservative mind in a sea of left-wing brainwashing that typifies most American college campuses.

Tex: Sigh!
1) Voting Democrat != voting Liberal.
2) You didn't say that they were, you implied it. Your whole reason for living(so it seems) is to bash liberals and that's all you've been doing in this thread.
3) You didn't say *all* hispanics are racist, neither did I imply you said that. It can be assumed that anyone who chooses to revolt against a particular race is racist, otherwise their revolt would be against something else.


Let's look at what is factual here:

1) a group who is openly Conservative in it's views has been targetted
2) they have been targeted for their opinion of an issue put forth by another group
3) the group targetting them has issued a race based challenge to the status quo
4) the challenge from point #3 is the center of this whole situation and is why the Conservative group(from point #1) has spoken out against it


The consrvative/liberal bent of MECha hasn't been established, nor is it even an issue. Yet you and others would like it to be.

Lame!
