i have no idea where those specific stats are from. i'm in agreeance with you that the majority are, but i'm having trouble wrapping my head around 95%. i also had a hard time wrapping my head around that 77% of young people take a parent with them to a job interview, but what do i know. the rising costs of college are insane. that with interest rates are making it very unappealing to get a degree. not that a degree is for everyone, but is should be a reasonable goal if someone wants this.

quite easily. so all kids that go to college are a blank slate that can be molded into anything the college tells them without their own opinions getting the way. i get what people have been saying about colleges, but no...this is no institution that takes pride or tries to produce anti-americans. just like high school kids needs to be scared of speaking their beliefs. nonsense fear tactics. i wonder how many kids are walking out of clarkson this year as an ant-american, or geneseo, or buffalo.

do i think kids can become liberal/radical in college...yes. do i think the university system in this country is pushing out anti-american citizens...no i don't. at all. sorry man...i misread.

yes...the internet has given all sorts of #######s a voice. it happens on all sides, but show me where 95% of college profs and admins are on one side? again...do you think colleges are cranking out anti-american students as mentioned above? based on what? your feeds? guess what...most good kids go to college for their careers and to have fun. not everyone has a hardened view on politics like this forum does.

i think it depends on the school. not all colleges are what your social media feeds show you. let me ask you a question...if you had a kid, would you let them go to college if they wanted, or would you refuse if fear of them turning radicalized? and for what it's worth, this was a discussion about colleges turning students anti-american. that bull####.

so there are differences of beliefs. the palestine protests are so over the top it was disgusting. some colleges didn't want charlie because they don't want the controversy that come with him. it's easier to avoid it than to deal with it. you're still not explaining how a university just radicalizes someone. they don't. the majority of college kids just don't care.

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.
