Quote from: Essessen on November 21, 2015, 12:11:56 PMMy university has so far been the antithesis of what I was made out to believe people would be acting like. Even the gender studies majors are pretty chill and rational about things. My critical thinking teacher also gave me an A on our final when I just ranted about PC for a couple questions.where do you go to school?

It's a private Jesuit university, so that helps I imagine.Oh for sure lolI'm at an east coast public liberal arts university, so the crazies are out in full force here.I've yet to encounter the dreaded "liberal academia" at my university either, well at least not with the professors. I can't say the same concerning the student body. Most of my history professors have been Republican or center-right. One of the political science professors is actually a libertarian.>Oklahoma or whatever flyover stateYou're in real AmericaUrban North Carolina is to the South as California is to America.I've had two professors plug Sanders' website repeatedly during class.

Tbh, my stance on incest, at least of the brother/sister or cousin varietyAs long as it's between two consenting adults and not being used for reproduction, it's still weird as hell, but I can't say there's anything objectively wrong with it
refugees and the possibility of extremists hiding among them is what prompted me to have a little more faith in the PATRIOT Act and America's ability to keep the people safe.

My hatred for Islam has increased tenfold after the attacks on France. You don't get to attack the greatest country on earth and live to tell the tale.

Quote from: Azumarill on November 21, 2015, 07:02:27 PMI'm much more open to the idea that mass surveillance is actually helpful, despite being a unilateral human rights abuse. The recent tensions re: refugees and the possibility of extremists hiding among them is what prompted me to have a little more faith in the PATRIOT Act and America's ability to keep the people safe.There are no extremists hiding among refugees and even if there were the Patriot Act has nothing to do with the screening of refugees.Also the Patriot Act hasn't prevented any acts of terrorism since its enactment.

Believe me, I know about the 18-24 month long vetting process. I'm not anti-refugee and I've never made any claims that refugees were responsible for the Parisian massacre. All I'm saying is that the existence of America's mass surveillance programs gives me a stronger sense of security. The fact that the 1-2 thousand Syrian refugees who have already entered our country have not committed acts of terror tells me that we're doing something right with regard to both the vetting process and our ability to monitor people within the nation.
