OT: The New Ivies
- Thread starter Morrischiano
- Start date
My son is only one person at one of the 8 schools, pretty poor sample size. He would laugh at your characterization of "ivy league campuses"
What do you think the US response would be if 40,000 innocent people were brutally murdered on our own soil? Thats about the same % of the population killed in Israel that day. Do you think we wouldn't unleash hell on the country who did it?
It appears the laws weren't broken by Columbia students....if so like only a few.
How does protesting equal preventing Jewish students from going to class and terrorizing them on campus?
It wouldn't make our response the right one and I am sure it would be met with protest. There would be peaceful protesters probably ruined by bad actors.
It is also possible our response would be motivated by politics and it is possible we could unleash hell on the wrong people based on incorrect intelligence.
Not to mention that Hamas is using their own civilians as human shields and the hospitals that are being invaded by Israeli troops are also cover for Hamas bases and likely where they keep the victims.
Aren't most of the ugly protests happening at the campuses near cities? Plenty of bad seeds near NYC just based on the population. Don't think there are many "bad actors" in hanover, NH
It’s not a laughing matter
Ivy League campuses have gotten increasingly anti semantic and toxic over the past few years
That’s not even remotely debateable
Ill debate that statement all day
And I’ll repeat it for the umpteeth time - if the regular, non-insane students are peacefully protesting, why are they not denouncing the lunatics?
Would we bomb cities indiscriminately and kill 6.6 million civilians ( the US equivalent of % of the civilian deaths in Gaza).
Live free or die is also the motto of NH
I’d venture to say, if those bad actors tried that kind of stuff in the granite state, there would be a different outcome than what is currently happening in New York, California and Illinois
Maybe Eric Adams, Gavin Newsome and Chicagos will take a queue out of Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott’s book
Start with a tear gas and rubber bullets, arrest people who are breaking the law and do not release them within 24 hours, while protecting the students who attend the universities and act enforcing laws
Chances are they won’t, as they haven’t done so so far, and their policies and procedures for allowing lunatics and bad actors to rule the day, at the expense of good people and law, abiding citizens and students alike, seems to be their bread and butter

You would lose that bet. Do you think 99% don't know what "from the river to the sea" means? There are some. of course, that have no idea of the history.
How do you make peace with an enemy whose charter and leaders call for your total destruction? The Palestinians were offered a two state solution many times but Hamas rejects anything less than removal of the State of Israel. If Israel does not finish the job it has only delayed the next attack.
How long will these "Palestinians" be called refugees?
Are the Native Americans refugees?
“How do you make peace with an enemy whose charter and leaders call for your total destruction?”
You don’t. You take them out, once and for all, and eliminate them, so they will never threaten your homeland and people ever again.
Unfortunately, while doing so, he will certainly incur the wrath of many people and nations alike, and undoubtedly kill innocent people
However, if it is your future existence and your nations and peoples future existence on this earth, which is at stake, you will do what you need to do to ensure the longevity and safety of them, feelings and consequences be damned
Semantics are important at Ivy League schools.
And how much time have you spent in Ivy League campuses, anyway? I’d guess not much, given your spelling.
I’d say the political right has become increasingly anti semitic; given its embrace of white nationalism/supremacy. That’s not even remotely debatable.
No, we would do what we did in urban warfare in Iraq. We went door to door in cities to kill insurgents. Israel didn’t want to risk their soldiers. Instead they just shelled civilians in one of the most densely populated areas of the world.
Ahhh The old spelling on a message board insults, with my username I really don’t give two ****s about the spelling and couldn’t care less about your thoughts on my intelligence level
Frankly, I’m more concerned with football and funding NIL so we’re actually competitive
Maybe if you diverted some of those checks to Delby and cared enough about football success vis a vis your posting ratio on a message board, we would have more success
Bad analogy. Is the US sending military aid to China? I must have missed that. Over 14,000 children killed in Gaza - many by bombs funded by US. Hamas is heinous terrorist group that killed 1/10 of that number on October 7th. Israel needs to be better . A very large number of Israeli Jews agree.
Well that is sure true
My side doesn't chant "Jew will not replace us" and call it "very fine people"
My side doesn't beat the police because it lost a landslide election.
We leave that to the America haters on the other.
I definitely agree, except to say those who think Jan 6 terrorists are hostages, and who would vote for someone saying so, have no brain. Surely you'd agree?
That’s a valid point
I think in most cases, people have valid points on both end of the spectrum, but are so steadfast in their ways that they refuse to listen to the other side, when in reality if they did, a lot more positive things can get accomplished
Again, I have denounced what happened in Charlottesville and on January 6.
Both were reprehensible and disgusting, and regardless of my political views, and who I vote for, I do not support either one of those instances.
I’ve voted based on policy, not feelings. I also vote based on what I believe is best for our present and future, not on who I like to be friends with or hang out with the drink beer.
That doesn’t make me right or wrong, it’s merely how I view things

Yeah no one at any college protested Vietnam or Iraq right?
Ukraine targets Russian infrastructure which Israel can do too. It elects not to do so.
Which family did Biden drone? Did you do what Rapin Don did and confuse him with President Obama who used a drone to kill Anwar Al-Awlaki, an American citizen and terrorist? You had 4 years to charge him with that, likely everything else, you failed at that. At least you got a wall Mexico paid for and Hillary locked up though. Oh right.
Well didn't he get right the big red wave and Durham locking everyone up?
No wait he got Uranium One though
Wait he got the whole Stormy thing would get no charges
Hold on no he did Wacko Jacko becoming governor
No no no but he did get he's never being impeached
No hold on. He got right Sidney Powell
No he got Rudy though
Oh
Remember how angry you were when chants broke out on a college campus of "Jew will not replace us"
Oh right
You said there were very fine people on both sides.
Weird, what could be different?
Make sure you get facts straight. Did the Columbia professor demand food be brought to peaceful college protesters or non peaceful not Columbia student protesters.
Not to those that watch Fox News everyday. It is fact.
I hope so
I’d like to think most of the kids on these college campuses, and society in general, are inherently good people and do not agree with the actions and beliefs of the lunatic fringe
Imagine a country
- Where those people chanting "Jew will not replace us" are called "very fine people"
- Where terrorists who beat the police are labeled "hostages", including ones waving a Confederate flag and another with a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt
Now, you wouldn't know of such a country where a "leader" of one party says those things and millions of sheep bleat them while calling others anti-Semitic, now would you?
If it’s not the ACC, Big Ten or SEC networks, or ABC/ESPN for sports, or some deadliest catch, then I’m not watching it
Ah. So people who "smash windows and vandalize buildings" prevent students from going to class
Now do prevent an election from certification.
So....it's wrong to say the protesters are "hostages" right?
