so one college professor said that and that's representative of all college teachers? you can find a number of people like this at any university. how is this shocking? it still doesn't represent the university a whole, but rather one view in it.

and you assume it's the school and not his internet/social media feeds? who exactly does a school radicalize somone? colleges have always been a place of protest and a more liberal environment. this is in no way a new idea. do you really think college kids are as wrapped up in politics like you guys are? they're not. other than a small handful, they really aren't. college kids are inherently selfish in nature. it's the age and place. most kids just want to work towards their future, party and hook up. that's it. the idea that someone who enters college with a set of beliefs are going to be totally shifted in the other direction is nonsense. can it happen? of course, but this idea that universities are creating the army of liberals is just absurd. it's a scare tactic for clicks.

kinda. can you explain how that would happen? i feel if a kid is already left leaning and goes to college...sure. it can certainly get worse. if someone is majoring in women's studies or some other useless major...again sure. but how does the college system itself create this group of young individuals that hate america?

high school kid are going to be attacked for their beliefs? wtf?

anti-american views are popular at colleges? so kids that go to college are being taught to hate their country? do you think young adults are going into college loving their country, but leave angry because of what someone taught them?

jesus chirst. are we not going, "college bad!" mode? education is one of the greatest things you can give a young person. we the rising costs, there's just no wiggle room for fooling around. go in knowing what you want to get out of college, and prepare for your future. pick a major that will hopefully put you into the workforce and move forward. the problem with education is the quickly rising costs, and especially the interest rates. they can range from 8% on the low end, and i've seen some that are 15% and over. that's criminal. i ended up with 120k in debt, but consolidated at 2.5%. it's reasonable. the indoctrinating, anti-american nonsense? get off the internet for a bit.

if they can start resting guys in the 3rd again this week...i'll be thrilled.

the bills are going to get people fired this week.

happy birfday!

The Utah governor is nailing it right now.

holy *****.

you guys know i never post here, and i don't even mean this in a political way, but this strikes me as a wildly...and i mean wildly bad idea. it's too bad that what happened with covid has cast a strange shadow over all vaccines. i completely understand why it happened, but damn.

cakewalk *****

happy birfday!

hit her.

oh i think it's still a thing. my wife and her friends are younger than me, so the friend's husbands are as well. guys in their late 30s or so. i can't tell you how many of them...locally grown, that love the pats. they were young kids who grew up watching winning patriot football, and want no part of the bills. to me, a pats fan from wny is the most disgusting, vile thing there can ever be.

so a guy i know has a side job of doing collision work on cars. he was telling me about a toyota truck that was t-boned and was a total mess. when i asked why they didn't just total the car, he told me it was because toyota trucks hold their value well. that's all i got.

i just looked hoover's up and it looks legit!

i'm in the same boat. my kids' school is right down the street, and if i pick them up on a nice friday, i get absolutely harassed about going there. on a side note, if anyone has the chance...try their egg nog. holy ***** is it amazing.

you're 100% correct. single in the suburbs is not the most happening thing. i don't know many single guys my age, but some i know have lived in the apartments by village gate, east ave and the sibleys building. the going out scene has changed a ton. i'm 47, so we did the monroe ave, east and a, and mostly park ave. as far as i know, the park ave bars we went to, (they were called preps and park bench) have closed. people just stopped coming. i love the village gate, but i'm mostly a restaurant scene now. fairport is the new down town. the number of new bars and restaurants is amazing. live music all summer. the parking has become the issue. if you haven't been back in a while, it's worth checking out the village.

i think you're at the perfect point in your life to be here. i never thought it was fun when i was younger, but there's so much for families to do. we stopped having people give our kids gifts a long time ago. now we get season passes to as many things as we can...the strong, whickham farms, the zoo, science center, etc. even taking the kids to local sporting events is a new one for us. cheap and entertaining. the area you're moving too is awesome. i live up the street by casa larga. i'm in that weird zone where i have a victor mailing address, but we are in fairport schools. i constantly driving through the basin to take my kids to school in pittsford, and other than rush hour, i love the area. my wife an i got to happy hour at branca weekly. it's a great spot.

the west side/east side will forever live in rochester. my wife if from the west side, and i'm from the east side. i regularly let her know what life i saved her from.

sorry about the gf pete. depending on specifically where you work, you shouldn't have more than a 20-25 min drive in most places. i'm a suburban guy, so i would avoid the city...especially certain parts. even the bars/restaurants we go to are usually in the suburbs, or in one area downtown. unless we go to a play/sporting event/strong museum...i never go into the city. just depends on what lifestyle you're looking for. review the prices. this area of ny was once wildly affordable, but like everywhere else, prices have skyrocketed. both homes in the area that i've owned have now doubled in value over the last 7 or so years.

Well this went to hell. My point of even jumping in this thread was to argue that’s what’s going on with the younger generation isn’t driven by politics. Are they screwed because of housing costs, interest rates and tuition costs? Sure, but to blame this on any type of political movement is nothing but avoiding accountability for their own lives. The young on both sides have it hard now.

oh i'm reading in here all the time. i enjoy political talk to an extent, but this place is way too savage for me. as much as i like the convo, politics plays such a tiny role in my life....and i think i'm much happier for it.
