I think half of the allure of our school is the fact that you never know when you're gonna suddenly be caught in the middle of a machete riot

Sorry for being smart, but what I meant was that it may very well be the case that we understand these things differently. When I think of "working with the system" I think joining the student government, filing petitions, etc. That, in itself, is built so that you, as a student, do not usually have leverage. That is why there is need for extra-curricular work. To gain leverage.

Not me, I was in those sweet suite dorms posting on SA until I was a senior and realized "Oh my god I could have done something!!!" Then I went to do bar trivia with my geology friends; we were Gin and Tectonics and we were undefeated until finals week when we faced our profs who were team Don't take us for Granite. We would have won if our whole team was there and if my teammates didn't gain a conscious about cheating. :argh:

IUP is a fun school regardless, especially if you want a good geology program where you learn from actual professors that you can hang out with in their office at any time.

Yes, a bunch of untrained oddballs and enthusiasts with small arms will bring down the federal government.

... does anyone actually believe that?


Do they think the army will join them? Does anyone really think that that poor kids who joined to go college or because they had other option are going to know or care about any of their bullshit, and that officers and pilots are going to throw away their careers and lives for a stupid power fantasy?

I get that they like guns and love to fantasize about killing people, but how do you go from there to thinking that going on a shooting spree is somehow going to get you popular support and change society?

The media only seems to be reporting on the students in Missouri demanding the president step down for the poo poo swastika, thus hyperbolizing their grievances entirely as only being about that.

I'm seeing a lot of horseshit about how these activists are racist themselves, "that they harass white students on campus, and nobody complains to the media about that!"

People violently protest in Ferguson, "THEY'RE BURNING THEIR HOMES LOL"

People peacefully protest in UoM, "They aren't protesting right". Discussion is broken in this country.

In pretty sure that, if not receiving the victory in getting the nomination, Sanders will tell his followers why it is important to vote for Hillary, and why it's important to keep the pressure up.
Unlike Ron Paul, Sanders is a legitimately great senator and mayor.

His overall goal is getting money out of politics, which jives well with the whole Occupy Wall Street crowd. Sanders running for president is a natural continuation of the national conversation started with OWS.

He's not going anywhere.

Turns out that racists just want to discredit anything that opposes their viewpoints instead of have a discussion in good faith.

Which is why I am so adamant against gun control. When those in power start going for guns they do so to disarm those who have nothing left but guns.

Its time we told them to gently caress off to Bloomberg.

Well it's bad for their retirements, to the degree they can even get an IRA or 401k.

If they're close enough to retirement and have a lot of open market stock left in their accounts, they're Doing It Wrong. Of course, that might be because nobody ever told them how to do it right, which is why 401k/RIAs are a foot gun designed to primarily benefit the financial sector.

Not to mention the revenue problems effectively putting their football program on hiatus would cause, if they decided to just boot everyone. As long as the players and the AD hold the line on this, there's no good option for the university outside of firing the chancellor.

If Missouri cut player scholarships over this, there'd be an emergency meeting in Atlanta to see who they can coax to the SEC to keep that television market after kicking out Mizzou. (Uh, maybe K-State?) They'd be Southern Methodisting themselves and the Tigers wouldn't be competitive again for years if ever.
