I am not gay and I don't push a gay agenda I am simply against discrimination. I could care less what goes on in somebodies bedroom. Therefore I cant hate somebody for what goes on in their bedroom. Do you push hate? Do you actually care what goes on in peoples bedrooms? Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

"Institutions that have very few Pell Grant-eligible students typically have very, very high graduation rates.” Pell Grants are awarded to low-income undergraduate students." There are lots of kids from all races that have no business being in college. They can barely read, have no math or study skills, should be learning a trade and ignoring a degree entirely. But colleges are a huge business now, all they care about is money. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

In a way, this is way worse than average. This is the "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste" group of colleges. Supposed to be fighting for education for Blacks, yet look at the product they are putting out. Even the minority who graduate, how does a college like that look on a resume? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

All these places care about is the warm body count at the start of a semester. If they drop out who cares, that semester was paid for in advance. I think you can transfer to another class but no refunds. Especially if it's a Pell.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The left has become the anti- individual responsibility party. The left has become the investigate the right party. The left has become the use the mainstream media as a political tool party and has destroyed most an access to unbiased news party. The left has always been the in favor of women's rights party (good) The left has always been the separation of church and state party (good) The left is the I hate Trump even when his policies prove to be good for the USA and will never admit it party. The most serious point is that most of the media THAT PEOPLE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT WERE UNBIASED are now so far left, so anti-Trump, so anti-establishment, that news and opinion are too intermingled. You cannot tell whether you are watching a news piece (facts) or a smear job (opinions). Of course there are examples of the same on the right (Fox), but the main "News" sites (CNN, MSNBC, etc...) are such a blend of news and opinion and they DO NOT try to keep those separate. |

Who cares, only drooling cretins watch those networks, they can't tell the difference between news and opinion anyway. *Just my opinion and not meant to insult anybody here. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't drool and I don't think I qualify as a cretin. Many a Sunday and Saturday morning Girl and I watch 30, 32, and 34 (CNN, Fox, MSNBC) continually flipping the channel when one goes to commercial. It is fascinating to see the different ways they each present 'news'. And I will agree with you 100%, that most viewers (I prefer that word to cretins) cannot tell the difference between news and opinion, and that is the way THESE NETWORKS WANT IT |

I'm not a drooling Cretin Bob. Anyone who says I am is a [insert most insulting noun you can think of] Blocked. |

Of course 'real' colleges are not much better. They don't want to teach about Plutarch, the professors want to publish on some narrow publishable item such as Plutarch as a Greek who despised foie gras and honored hyenas. |
