Which begs the question - why in 2018 is that law needed?

Modern times, we appear to need laws for everything, common sense or not.

Australia's iconic koala has a problem that keeps boomeranging back.

Chlamydia, a type of sexually transmitted disease also found in humans, has hit wild koalas hard, with some wild populations seeing a 100 percent infection rate.

Brookdale Prof Tells Conservative Student 'F--- Your Life!'
LINCROFT, NJ — Brookdale Community College, in Lincroft, is investigating an incident where a sociology professor cursed at a student, shouting at the student "f--- your life" and banging his hand on the desk. Watch the video above.

Professor Howard Finkelstein, who teachers Sociology 105, was caught arguing with one of his students, Christopher Lyle. Lyle, 23, is a Toms River resident who said he considers himself politically conservative.

The argument started when Lyle said he thinks both men and women can be victims of sexual harassment.

You guys seriously think that our criminal justice system should be expending resources to go after some chick that gets her dog to lick her cunt?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

No we don’t.

Flaggy left out the best part of the article...
Lyle said after the cursing incident, Brookdale pulled him out of class and talked to him, because he's a gun owner and they wanted to makes sure he wouldn't hurt anyone, he said. He said Finkelstein knew he was a gun owner because the two have often gotten into arguments about gun ownership. Lyle also told NJ.com that the professor regularly tells him to "shut up."
Brookdale should be pulling Finkelstein out of class to talk to him, because he is not an educator.

BTW, its sad that over the last 10-20 years I've become more centrist in my political beliefs but liberals are pushing me back the other way the last 10-20 months.

I do like to give 89 grief but I also recognize that he has moderated his position on the death penalty and probably one or two other issues as well.

Not exactly sure which part of that is funny. I can only assume that you think my views hadn't moved more to the middle. If that's the case, you're wrong, so not really funny.

I am still well right of center, but IMO I'm way closer to the middle than a lot of the liberals that post here. I've become more of a "walk a mile" person. I debunk a lot of what my far right friends forward, post or repeat in the hopes that they will think about the issue instead of repeating the crap on the radio or TV. Years ago I probably would have never voted for gay marriage, but I did when it came up in MD. As you noted, I used to be pro capital punishment and now I'm way more in favor of rehabilitation than incarceration. I've become quite anti-war. I am still pro-life and I don't see that changing unless I suddenly have a brain injury.

BTW, to all my liberal friends who are posting stuff praising Barbara Bush... :suspicious: Yeah, you're the same folks that wished death upon the entire Bush family for years. We're just supposed to forget that. :roll:


At least this nut has the balls to keep it up.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04 ... -dead.html
But the Fresno State professor was apparently not touched by the loss of the former first lady, who was called "everybody's grandmother."

“PSA: either you are against these pieces of s--- and their genocidal ways or you're part of the problem. That’s actually how simple this is. I'm happy the witch is dead. Can’t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million Iraqis have,” Jarrar said in another tweet.

I'm sure you have moved towards the middle...
The middle represents "reasonable"
and reasonable represents sanity

I laugh because a huge part of the Facebook and Internet meddling by the Russians
Was entirely based on creating crazy ANTIFA and Black Live Matters advertisements
in locations that had no ANTIFA or BLM organizations

in an attempt to do exactly what you just posted above
To turn normal reasonable people back into ultra conservatives

This is the part of the meddling that people are having trouble understanding
giant BLM and ANTIFA ads show up on rural Pennsylvania facebook account pages

Interview BLM organizers and they were like..? What..?
Nope we're in Berkeley what are you talking about Pennsylvania..?

Yet, BLM somehow ran thousands of ads in Pennsylvania unbeknownst to them
What do you think that did to the moderate conservatives there..?

I guess. But I was referring to people I know that are liberals that are doing this to me. Not some amorphous mob.

Fair enough...
but the final results are identical

If we lose the reasonable middle in this country (which is exactly what Russia wants)
We accelerate our own demise

Stay Reasonable my friend (with a capital R)
