*shrug* Academia is a profession which attracts more liberals than conservatives. I don't see that any different than, for example, banking, law, or medicine, which (I'm guessing here), probably have more conservatives as practitioners than liberals.

NDE,
NDE,
Do not disagree with the above. I was just questioning why Walruzz seemed to be implying that one needed a degree from ND to express views on this tread ?
1. Why should they have respect? Is there a moral obligation justifying this or some type of epistemological source for why they should have to respect Pence if they find his positions morally offensive?
2. How do you know the knowledge most young people who participated in that protest have on what they are protesting? What is the bright line for the amount of knowledge someone has to have in order to be able to protest? At what point after someone enters "working life" is it ok for them to start disagreeing with power structures?
3. Why would anyone advocate coercive limits on an individual's actions if they support freedom?
Protect that lawn of yours at all costs old man
How do you know any of this to be true? There is not much supporting this generalization.
I believe the reason he was asking speaks to generalizations made on ND's student body and their knowledge. If people have never interacted with the Student body or students of ND then the value of their perception of how much civic involvement an ND student has or doesn't have is minimal.
Did they stay to listen ? To hear what the other person had to say ? If one does not listen to another person's
Point of view, how can they debate the pros and cons of those views ?
You don't need a degree to express a view.
Just wanted to establish that you are making sweeping assumptions and generalizations with no firsthand knowledge. Having attended the university and having experienced first hand the education, you might understand that I view your position as less informed than than those of us who attended classes there.
You're free to express yourself all you want. But let's be clear, you are simply regurgitating the stories you've read.
You specifically said:
In short, it is sad commentary on a college education when, only one side of all arguments is
Presented and the other side is completely not allowed anywhere in the classroom or on campus !
Very Sad !
So, my question stands: how do you know what happens on campus? You're answer is that somebody else told you something. That does somewhat undermine the strength of your vitriol.

I agree !
You are certainly entitled your views but Telling people that They are " ignorant " and "Regurgitating "
Sounds right out of The Liberal Playbook ! That tells me everything I need to know. no need for further debate !
Right out of the "I got caught talking out my ass playbook."
Guess Trump is a liberal. Or is it ignorant+regurgitating= Liberal.
"President Barack Obama “has been the most ignorant president in our history,” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Wednesday."

The kids can walk out if they like. That's their right. Anyone can bash or praise them. That's their right. I, personally, think they're still butt hurt that nurse ratched lost. Some here think that they really studied pence's positions and felt walking out was their best option to voice their displeasure. Don't know who's more correct, but arguing about their right to do so is dumb. Like I said, they can walk out, and I can rip them or praise them for it. Ftr, I think they're snowflakes, just as I would've thought of any students to walk out on Barry O, had they done so.
Pence has been very clear on his point of views in this previous speeches, actions, interviews, writings etc. If you are protesting a well established history why does not listening to one speech (your form of protest by the way) preclude you from debating the pros and cons? That is silly, so by your logic since you haven't watched all of Obama's speeches you cant debate the pros and cons of his views?
Public figures are different, you can have a more informed perception regarding someone like Trump or Hilary because they give speeches, give interviews, publish writings, take actions in public and so on. Because you can observe those things and understand motivations (at least stated motivations) your perception of them has some basis.
Making categorical assertions regarding an entire class of people that you do not know and have not interacted with makes little to no sense. Its also problematic that you are making blanket assertions about a group because the more people in the group the less likely the assertion is to be correct.
They went to their own private ceremony celebrating their graduation. Its not a matter of should they walk out when a speaker they disagree with is talking, its a matter of whether or not doing so is inherently wrong.
They went to their own private ceremony celebrating their graduation? Wow, bet that was a hoot.
And your previous posts made it sound like these students knew the policies of pence so well and disagreed w/ them, so within their rights, they walked out. I assumed you were cool w/ simply standing up & walking out of all speeches where you don't agree w/ certain positions the speaker has. Like I said before, well within your right, but seems extremely petty to me. Not necessarily "inherently wrong", just petty.

Finke is a stud. I say he gets around 20 receptions this year, We have too many great receivers for him to be the go to guy, IMO.
