A Fox News poll. LOL!  This is as legitimate as the Daniel Snyder poll that claimed Native Americans overwhelmingly supported his team's racist name.  Elizabeth Warren was more Native than the individuals who were able to "self-identify" to participate in that poll.

The right has done a wonderful job taking extreme examples to fuel the persecution complex among their own to claim "PC run amok." In reality, when the right says "PC run amok" what it really means is the inability to use the N word and other racist, sexist and bigoted slurs in public without consequence.

You honestly believe this??

Well to me Fox is the WWE of news

[MomofMUltiples]

Cut it out guys.  Seriously.

I just find these constant back and forth diatribes, re-litigating the past aggravating. I know it'll probably sound like yelling into the void, but as a daily visitor to the site (though infrequent poster), it does sometimes make me with there was another active Marquette forum worth a damn. MUScoop is as close as it gets, so I deal, despite my fraying patience that prompted the post.

May I interest you in some Arby's sauce with your beef n cheddar?

NM. And I really mean NM.

There. I said it!

Someone who can type this doesn't take a back seat to anyone in the bigotry department.

He does, however, take a back seat (I hope) to almost any MU alum when it comes to sentence structure.

A Fox News poll. LOL! 

You might want to read a bit more, Chico.  It isn't a Fox News Poll. The Atlantic published the same poll. The same poll appears to have been picked up and republished by many different outlets the last two days.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/large-majorities-dislike-political-correctness/572581/

It was not commissioned by Fox, or MSNBC.  The research was conducted by a firm called MOREINCOMMON, a group that is reaching out to the middle and trying to unite people on what they have in common, not the polarization bullcrap that dominates both sides.  What a concept.  The CEO of MOREINCOMMON comes from a long background at the UN Peacekeeping Operations, not exactly a right wing incubator.

This is the firm that put the data together.  https://www.moreincommon.com/governance/

This is the actual report, which is quite interesting.  Goes to actually show how much various groups of society have in common.  https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a70a7c3010027736a22740f/t/5bbcea6b7817f7bf7342b718/1539107467397/hidden_tribes_report-2.pdf

And you wonder why our side is not in power right now, because of crap statements like this.  All you are doing is alienating many good people with that broad based comment. 

I look forward to a world where the middle reclaims civility.

So his statement wasn't pc enough for you?

So if you're for the middle....why have you only called out one side of the spectrum since coming back here?

Nice

Sounds socialist!

[ZMovieman]

Clearly the mods don't follow their own rules because there's no way this whole thread shouldn't be Superbar-ed at this point.

[Pakuni]

It's just a mascot.

[barfolomew]

The one (only?) perk of being a mod:  You can keep your threads alive forever!

[WarriorDad]

You mean how CNN reported that the lava hit the water in Hawaii and instantly spawned 'hydrochloric" acid"......LOL!......

So every left wing rag over the next week was saying that the deadly "hydrochloric cloud" could kill anyone that came close.....

Was quite amusing.....

I guess libs don't take "chemistry class".....

Dumbases......It is sulfur.....in Lava......and sulfuric acid that is formed.....

You can not make up how dumb the left is.....When they think they are so so smart!

Hard to see where they are wrong, it is HCL gas.  Also, the signs you speak of, they say Volcanic Fumes are dangerous, but no mention of Sulfuric acid.

My anger was so thick this weekend in remembrance, this bump is two days late.

The 25th is the Silver Anniversary .. 26th is the Arby's Anniversary, if you were wondering.

Golden years...bop bop bop....golden years...

It takes 27 years to judge....

Well crap... Guess I'm going out to pasture soon.

As Justice Stevens once said, "I may not be able to define it but I know it when I see it".

Not Justice Stevens - but you're close - his name does start with an "s".

I, for one, am not giving up hope for a reversal.  Why, just the other day, I saw a group of golden eagles flocking together to discuss forming a protest committee, no doubt.

Happy Columbus Day

Well, I remember one article where he said "We could either build a fence around the place or work to improve the neighborhood."  They did the latter and it was a good choice.  The neighborhood around campus is much better than it was 25 years ago when I was in school - it's still not great, but it's better.

What is considered the neighborhood?  I mean, how far out?  Early 80's I lived on 24th &wells.  Walking, running and yes, sometimes stumbling, no issues.  And that was dahmer territory

   One incident I will never forget was 1980, walking down wisco ave, broad daylight with one of my room mates.  At approx 20th/ 21st a car load of, umm guys, pulls up to us and asks us where 5th and fly our is...I proceed to naively tell him how to get there as he raises a gun while the "group" in the car start laughing their big arses off while we put our heads down and ran dropping a trail of...we never reported it to public safety or the police figuring, what? 

I don't think the neighborhood has improved.  As a matter of fact, I believe it's gotten worse.  the intro of public safety being armed, the shuttles and cell phones have provided some nice insulation.  No physical walls, but beefing up the interior had to help

Norte dame, if I recall, had a big fence around their campus, right?  Only been their once for a b-ball game

"Flocking"?  We used to call it something else
