    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Look at which schools are the most "free." Might surprise you.

          University of Chicago ranks really high. Marquette is among the worst.

            @george-k Chicago is a leader with their "Chicago Statement". My own alma matter, Purdue, is doing well too.

              Complete cultural domination, as I've repeatedly, ad nauseum, to the point that people are totally sick of hearing it, wrote about here.

              But I'm a wingnut for caring, and basing my choice of political side mostly on this.

                @Jolly What is going on with LSU? Third from the bottom? Wow.

                and 23% support using violence to stop the speaker (up 5 percentage points). Two elite women’s colleges, Wellesley College and Barnard College, top this list, supporting the use of violence at 45% and 43% respectively.

                That’s interesting as well as disturbing.

                      You need to look at the poll answerers' veracity also. When they say yes! to violence to stop a speaker, are they telling the truth? Or are they getting off on shocking you or being a smartass?

                      Also need to examine the motives (if any) of the developers of the polls. Are they seeking to support a "truth" that they want to be true, or are they genuinely objective? Also how the questions are designed.

                      And so on.

                      Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                        When my father went to Boston College, there were no women.

                        During my time at BC women became the majority.

                        They still are: 7,979 female students and 6,768 male students

                        But, this kind of thing is still repeated:

                        "Sometimes as a woman it can be hard speaking up in a room of all men."
                        – Class of 2021

                        The left is winning because they can jam the message down your throat.

                          I looked at the survey report. The actual text in the report concerning "use of violence to stop a speech" is as follows:

                          Q18. Using violence to stop a campus speech?

                          • 1% Always acceptable
                          • 5% Sometimes acceptable

                                One can drone on about, and independently observe/formulate an idea. As for "originating" an idea, that is an impossibly high bar. Certainly, high enough that a guy like you couldn't possibly see it.

                                    Righteousness begets violence. That is its purpose as an emotion, that is why it was selectively advantageous. People need to be sane and civil to form stable societies, but they also need to have a destructive, bloodthirsty mode. That is what righteousness is.

                                    Those are some independently formulated ideas, based on independent observations, custom written for our resident objective* thinkers.

                                    (Not objectivist - that is the wrong white woman's ideas.)

                                      I would say it can, but it doesn't necessarily by definition. Although the extremely righteous can invite violence onto their own heads, being as they are exceptionally annoying most of the time, and can drive any otherwise reasonable person to shrieking and bludgeoning and other forms of destruction.

                                        I'm sorry but each thread has room for only one person to express independently observed and formulated thoughts. I have already claimed this thread as a venue for my own. Please find another thread to express your ideas, thank you.

                                          A certain objective* thinker you know has phrased it as "violence is hypermoralism".
