    Ok so a Harvard professor thinks the curriculum at a tiny liberal arts school in Maine is too politically correct and not rigorous enough. Still trying to figure out why I should give a shit.

    Liberalized education system. LOL.

    As long as that means teachers aren't teaching my kids that dinosaurs lived with humans and that the economy doesn't work like a household budget, then keep it coming. Lol

    Yeah, liberal values are something any good parent would want for their kids......

    Dont want that baby? just abort it... and have the government pay for it.
    Cant feed yourself? that's what food stamps are for.
    Not only is being gay ok, you're a hero if you tell everyone about it.
    If someone tries to rape you, shit your pants and tell them you have aids.
    Privacy? The only thing you should keep private is your religion.
    You dont have to work for what you want, you're entitled to having it, protest until the government gives it to you.
    If someone doesnt agree with you, it's because theyre a racist.
    Freedom is valueless, trade it to the government for anything they offer.
    Who cares if the government is corrupt, as long as they support your political views.

    I don't know any liberals that agree or have even advocated for any of those positions.

    Can you give some evidence that any of those things are being taught at universities?

    The only evidence you need is the vast majority of students coming out of universities pretty much share these exact same ideas, verbatim.

    I do know people that

    -Know what abortion is
    -Know the government offers assistance to those who need it, and offer incentives to people who do well in life
    -Dont generalize people based on social status or income
    -Understand sexuality is a natural process
    -Know how to form their own opinions based on available evidence, and not the other way around.

    This is what the "liberalized" education system teaches you. How to think for yourself, instead of letting others do it for you.

    And the end game for teaching people how to think for themselves is legislating the life choices away from anyone who didnt come to the same conclusion you did.

    What you're observing here is known as the liberal spin..... something Blank puts great effort into.

    What you're observing is a list of your opinions being criticized by facts. Like I've said before, you're entitled to your opinion, it just doesn't mean that you're right.

    Actually I think you will find that college educated people are less likely to have an abortion or to rely on government assistance. Did you go to college? Was it difficult for you to retain your ability to want to provide for yourself? I didn't find it to be particularly challenging but maybe I just went to an atypical university.

    Another weak statement. I expect more from you than i do from blank....... i expect rhetoric from him, it disappoints me when you go that route.

    abortion debate is about deciding when a fetus is a life.... and you not having the choice to take away that "person's" choice to live is not inhibiting your rights. You dont have the right to take another person's life. So telling you that you cant is not stripping you of any right.

    Also, this is the 2nd or 3rd time you've thrown that card at me..... i am pro-choice.... i just have a better moral compass than your typical pro-choice liberal. We need to define where life begins.....

    The representatives of your ideology have done as much to force their agenda on the population as anyone in history. Liberal democrats are no different than christians during the crusades.... they just put down the swords and picked up the twitter accounts.

    So if you have to define where life begins, how do you make the argument that women shouldn't have a choice?

    How do you know what a typical "liberals" moral compass is? My moral beliefs are separate from my political ones. I might never have an abortion for my own moral reasons, but I would never suggest someone else live by my moral standards. I will always be pro-choice as long as its not impeding on someone else's rights.

    So I'll add the crusades and Christianity to the list of topics you know nothing about. Lol.

    I dont.... I AM PRO CHOICE!................... ive said it 100 times. I still feel we need to have a clear definition of where life begins.

    Coming from yourself and others who have substituted actual reality with your own reality, I'll take that as a compliment.

    I agree and I am not accusing you personally of that stance. I am saying that ignoring other opinions (e..g, when life begins) and then trying legislate away choices based on that belief is not a quality unique to liberals.

    Based on the evidence we have right now, we believe that life begins somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd trimester, when the fetus is able to live independent from the host.

    Liberals are so stupid that they support the policies that give the government power and control over them... as long as in that particular moment, the government is using their power and control over their "enemy".
