The Sad But True Pictures Thread

[jamil]

Ya know...it's one thing when a private business owner exercises his private property rights to exclude gun related stuff and "infringe" upon the civil rights of an individual. But you'd think when the government does it, it should rise to a completely new level. If there's one thing the Constitution and the BoR is supposed to do is to keep the government and its agents from discriminating against people for peacefully exercising their rights.

It is apparently a faith based university, so private.

More and more, I'm thinking that many of the political "funny" pictures belong here.

This is a truly sad one. Students at an Ivy League school have a very hard time talking about what is in the first amendment, but have no problem spouting off SJW feelings-based talking points. It is abundantly clear, which they are really being taught.

Don't know about that. Most of the stuff Knut was posting failed the truth test, but some qualified. Much of the rest was simply delusional.

Yeah, but they were very inspirational.

Eh...OK. I didn't drill down as I'm pretty sure this has probably happened elsewhere, at a public U.

In fact, IIRC about 3-4 weeks ago I thought I remember reading that the Nebraska football coach was quoted as saying he would not recruit any player that had gun related stuff on his FB/twitter/etc pages. Not the same thing but of the same mind, I'd say.

Amazing what you can get away with when holding the race card.

Don't most colleges restrict athletes use of social media?

It seems to me that the Purdue MBB and FB team members go dark on twitter during the season.

Yeah, I checked it out before I posted it. Sad but true on at least a few different levels.

They were indeed killed. Hit with a car, shot and stabbed, along with two other cyclists. ISIS did claim responsibility. And the Tajik authorities found and killed the terrorist **********s who killed them. But, there is no evidence that the purpose of the trip was to prove the goodness of anyone.

Why is it sad? Because we cannot have one.

So, they were simply retarded?

I thought the end of the article was interesting.


"Some liberals, for their part, view Austin and Geoghegan as simply unfortunate. Experts on the region ​​told The Washington Post: "Central Asia generally is fairly safe."
