U.S. Uni defends sex-toy demonstration

[Austin]

You have no idea what you're talking about. Religion has nothing to do with university- I go to the most conservative school in the country and my biology professor spent an entire week talking about how Christianity cannot be true. Anyways, the problem with universities is a lack of philosophical education and instead an enforcement of mass produced liberal ideology (including nihilism).

I think I'm coming from a much higher educated position than many of you and I really feel like I'm wasting my time. Reread the first post I made on this page 10.

I'm over your head.

Are you kidding man!? You are arguing with social leftists on an ideological forum!!! Dear god man don't you know they are all oozing intellectual brilliance in every post?

They are over thirty years of age and are self-deemed progressives. You cannot possibly be right against them surely you know this? Just look at the state the West is in for evidence of their assured enlightenment if you hold doubts in their logic.

Y
That's not what I was saying. I was saying that the people who fund the university (parents of students, or university financial donors) have a right to determine if it is acceptable or not. These people are actually within the University and not outside of them. Your last sentence is too general for comment.

Whether or not they have the right to determine acceptability, they should have the judgment to refrain from exercising it and to respect the traditional rights of academia to autonomy no matter how loudly demagogues try to interfere.

Anyways, the problem with universities is a lack of philosophical education and instead an enforcement of mass produced liberal ideology (including nihilism).

On this point, I agree strongly.

Oh my gods, you have absolutely no clue how drole this comment is, considering who it is geared towards.

Wow.

This last sentence of yours is outrageously funny.

Well considering almost every post many of you make show a lack of understanding about how universities operate, what each others arguments are, and what we are arguing- I think the posts speak for themselves.

What's your background?

And yet more comedy to add to the fray.

Your assumptions about people based on their posts need some major revisions.

I'm genuinely curious to know what the promotion of 60's beatnik morality has to do with the furtherance of ethnic European preservation. I can certainly think of ways in which it harms it. One recalls the admonishment of St. Augustine to the bachelors of Rome, who were too immersed in sex and vice to bother with having families. I think we know what happened to Rome a few decades later...

Ok reread your post.

No they don't. Any university or institution worthy of the term "of higher learning" should strive to be objective and present different and differing points of view at all times. There's enough lobbying and politiking going on in government; we don't need it in our universities.

That's how universities have always operated and if you think otherwise you have no idea what you're talking about. Universities have a board of directors which determine rules and codes of conduct in a university. They also have a board of the people who are the top in donations which determine funding as well. And keep in mind how ridiculous this is because I am arguing that the people who fund the university have a right to kick out people who allow sex demonstrations in universities. This is not something sinister like kicking out all communists, or Christians, or atheists from teaching positions. This is childish. Reread my first post on page 10.

If a university is not able to allow for true experiences of iconoclasm by times, with the purpose of making people challenge themselves and their ways of thinking, then I'm afraid, we should no longer call these places universities but schools of technology. There is a place for everything in life. It's bad enough our public schools are mostly geared towards notions of "Learn-to-work" principles; the state only wishes to pump out automatons and not thinking beings. Let's not have the last bastion of free thought and creativity, a university, have that as its final end.

^ This quote sounds great by itself. But when you use this quote in a thread to counter my argument that the people who fund universities should have the right to ban sexual intercorse inside a classroom- it is utterly ridiculous.

What's your background?

I have a degree in Economics with an emphasis on Econometrics, a minor in statistics and business, I'm taking the level 2 Chartered Financial Analysts Exam and I'm working towards a graduate degree in Economics specializing in Government Finance (public finance).

The Romanticist/Transcendentalist/Bohemian/Wandervogel/Beatnik/Hippy strand of Western Civilization is more nourishing than destructive. Though a diet of pure vitamins would be poisonous, a diet without them will leave you malnourished.

Yes, the best minds took Christianity way too seriously and withdrew into desert caves instead of stepping up to uphold Roman civilization.
