    Like I said, avoid the trouble. We can take it to pm.

    I have ZERO trouble throwing down.

    As a matter of fact, IMO the board is too tame. I'm used to confrontations in my foruming.

    No one seemed very terrorized. Are you sure?

    But you felt qualified to lob an uninformed insult.

    Actually, you don't know a thing, including the detailed reason I already explained. You act as though it is impossible for an AA quota to deprive someone more deserving in favor of someone less deserving.

    You don't know what you're talking about, but you continue to insist upon pouring out your ignorance.

    My daughter got into the school of her choice. She was accepted to UW-Madison, and is about to enter her sophomore year studying Actuarial Science. She was accepted after earning a 4.0 at probably the most highly esteemed public school in Wisconsin; after earning a 34 on her ACT; after being a 4 year varsity volleyball starter - 3 years as captain, and capping it off with conference player of the year. She was a DECA officer.

    There simply is no way she could have done better in high school.

    The issue was her submission for 'direct admit' into UW's Business School. She was denied. She was denied because of quotas. We know why; it was common knowledge.

    And it was corrected this year.

    Feel free to apologize for baselessly attacking me.

    You're saying, that without private messages being reported, the staff READS private messages?

    I'm not implying. I'm flat out stating he's deflecting and going off-topic, like you just did.

    There is another thread discussing the two "sides" (several counter-protesters are not BLM or Antifa, beleive it or not every day Americans are not big fans of Nazis and KKK).

    This thread is discussing the Right Wing terrorist.

    Yup. Forgot who told me but I do believe it. No surprise since I've seen it in other forums as well. So, nothing is as private as it seems.

    I simply think that I'm fortunate to have been born in the era I was born in. While I've obviously strayed very far from my K-12 Education(and to be honest, so have all of us who chose to be Revolutionary in this country.), I've kept a lot of my morales from my teachings: Do unto others, as you'd want others to do unto you. And thus influences my politics. In fact, before I even learned of any terminology, I had the thought to myself: What if I could merge the 19th-20th century with the 21st? What if both centuries are opposite ends, of the same spectrum?

    With that kind of thought in mind, I sought to merge them together and for me at least, it was much easier in principle than I thought. What's harder, incredibly hard is to speak this to power(positively) in the US. And I fear that Donald Trump may very well be that which inadvertently destroys human progress. It's unfortunate, but the path to peace for all mankind has always been a tough road.

    I reject racism and all it stands for, because it means the human race can never be complete. We as a species would be forever limited by tribal warfare, if left up to those primitive monsters. I also reject class-ism, because putting people in a class is also limiting to the human race. We need to create a system where everyone can reach their full potential, and be supported in that environment.

    OMG,
    I've done my time staffing a gore site, & graphic content "news" site, years ago mind you.

    At one time I was pretty numb to that type of stuff, now, just seeing her get hit, makes my skin crawl.

    I'll check for that thread later on. But the facts point to Trump whose angry ad hate filled rhetoric have inspired many alt/right and white supremacist attacks on synagogues and mosques. Now his evil words inspired this tragedy.

    Pretty certain there was like 2 instances that really happened, the rest were fake.

    fakehatecrimes.org has a list.

    What exactly do you mean by merging the 19th-20th centuries with the 21st? You mean merging the political philosophies of that time with the times of now? If so, I completely agree, I believe people were much more honest and direct back in those times whereas nowadays everything is double speak and straight out lies.

    We arent "putting people in classes" and we dont plan to, in fact our ENTIRE ideology revolves around getting rid of classes altogether, everyone is of the same class. We were the ones put into a class, we did not put the rich elites into their class, they put us into our class. Class exists whether or not you agree with it or like it. Marxists such as myself do not like class, we despise it, which is precisely why our entire philosophy revolves around ending the class structure and putting everyone on an equal level. I hate class-ism too, which is why I seek to destroy all classes, but I dont deny classes exist despite the fact that I despise their existence. We want a class-less society, but by no means does that mean we are in a class-less society. Class warfare will only exist until there are no more classes, not one dominate class because that simply repeats the process.

    edit: sorry if im repeating myself lol, im slowly getting more and more drunk and I very rarely ever drink

    Lol, I guess I'm a bad influence as I'm making you drink :D. And yes, you're exactly right it's merging the political philosophies of that time with the times of now. You're also right that it's not like we have a class-less society now, but classes do exist. On one hand, one could argue if a person doesn't have the capability to ascend to a higher class, it's a good thing we have lower classes. And there's an argument to be had for that. You don't ascend to the next level in a game until you beat the level you're on.

    But a person's way of living shouldn't be limited by what they contribute. A Bus driver isn't any less worth to society, then a CEO banker. In fact, you could argue that the driver has more worth, in protecting the kids and making sure they get to school. I don't want to "reward" the unworthy, but I don't want anyone to be cast as unworthy either.

    I want everyone to live comfortably within their means, and within what they're capable of, while enabling future growth for them.

    How was it an insult? I was offering an alternative explanation. You took it personally. I thought people with high IQs were capable of looking at things more objectively.

    I never said it was impossible that AA quotas had a part. I said there could be alternative explanations.
    You, however, seem convinced that an AA quota was the only possible reason. You don't know what credentials the other applicants had. Yet you continue to speak from ignorance, exactly the same way you just accused me of judging your daughter. So not only are you quick to jump to conclusions but you're also a hypocrite.

    Let's think about this for a second. I'm saying that there may be other reasons your daughter didn't get into her school of choice. You're telling me that is an ignorant position, because you seem to know with certainty that she was denied due to an AA quota. Although you presumably did not see the credentials of the others who applied to join the same school and for all you actually know it is possible that your daughter's credentials, as impressive as they may have been, were not as good as the applicants who got in.

    To recap, I'm talking out of my ass by taking a pretty reserved position. Yet you are not talking out of your ass even though you only know half the story at best.

    It seems your daughter had two schools of choice. She got into undergrad at UW-Madison, her first school of choice. Then she wanted to apply for grad at UW Business School, her second school of choice. She apparently didn't get into her second school of choice. You are completely discounting the possibility that there were other applicants with better credentials than your daughter. This is why I can't take you seriously. That and the fact that you call yourself "IMMensaMind." Good lord.

    What do you mean it was corrected this year? You mean she applied a year later and got in the second time around? How exactly does that demonstrate that she was denied the first time due to quotas?

    I won't apologize because I didn't attack you.

    I agree bus drivers are more important than the CEOs, janitors are also more important. Im not saying there should be no managers, but we dont need some rich fat guy at the top who does nothing but simply own property and pays other people to manage it for him while he sits on his fat ass raking in the cash, then passes it down to his selfish cartoon villain children. As for the "unworthy", I dont believe in free will and I see humans as a part of nature, completely part of nature. We are not special, we are not free thinking individual diamonds who are utterly unique, no, we are animals and we are part of earth just like every other animal and even plant life/fungus. With this in mind, calling a human unworthy is like calling a tree unworthy, its an absolutely ridiculous statement. How could a tree be unworthy? Is the tree dying too young? Well blame the climate, blame the soil around it, dont blame the tree itself thats ridiculous! If a human is doing bad, doing wrong, blame the soil, the light, the environment that created that human and try to water that soil rather than ******** on it.
