Always good for a program to demonize many of their fans who might not appreciate the assertion of what this vote push is alluding to. In fact many would vehemently disagree with the premise and now might not show up for games to manifest their disgust.   

Of course Marquette has been hijacked by leadership that engages in reckless price gouging and expounds teachings closer to Saul Alinksy than St. Ignatius.

Wrong...you can say all you want they don't push agendas and influence students in a certain way, but that is absolute fact that they do and in fact, is one of our biggest issues with institutes of "higher" learning these days. They may not always do it in blatantly obvious ways, but believe me, they do do it.

Absolutely RIGHT! Professors should NEVER influence students in a certain way. NEVER! Unless it is Professor McAdams. Then it is OK.

Is this the thread where we air our beefs.

If so my beef is seatbelt sensors.  That damn alarm drives me nuts.   My seatbelt my choice.  Thanks a lot Nader.

Buckle it behind you, problem solved. Your welcome!

Obviously you have ZERO respect for Grandma and grandpa who laid the foundation for our country. I'm not surprised you don't however. Young people are mindless minions that have too many terrible influences in their lives(see.. equally mindless, uneducated parents) with a mindset that "if it's free it's for me", unfortunately and disgustingly, that is why they will vote the other way. Great way to "educate" our youth today...NOT.

So, so good.

Don't listen to outside influences unless it influences you to the right lmao. Same with listen to your elders unless they lean left.

How is one to know which sources/influences are the "right" ones and which are the "wrong" ones?

Use your God given brain, that's how. Apply common sense. Think it through. Look toward a big picture. 5 yrs down the road. 10, 20 yrs. Take the topic of defund police. So, what will emerge from that? Crime will not just disappear. So...no cops, then what? Should there be change within policing? Probably so. Defund? Common sense says that's a loser proposition. Since this is a MU hoops blog, it's like Wojo forgetting the score...loser outcome.

explain. The option appears bleak.

[Viper]

One guess.... the homogeneity of the party in power in every one of the cities that u mention.  The have destroyed the american dream

there is a commonality, yes?

not ok. Other examples?

Badgers suck!

amen!

Thank you Rico for unintentionally making an incredibly valid point...This is the problem we face in America today...so many Americans suffer from TDS and have HATRED for him, that that's why they will vote against him. It won't be a vote for Biden because you think he'll do a great job(how could anyone), but it will simply be a vote against Trump. That is absolutely the WRONG way to vote, and idc what side your on. You vote for the best candidate...period, not because of hatred or any other bias.


You know  the rapidly rising uh umm uh and with uh, with uh..I don't know uh uh...really??

[shoothoops]

No, help them with the process etc. educate them on voting, maybe some history of it or whatever. But after that let them research and decide on their own..it's like taking a test, you aren't giving them the answers ahead of time. You might tell them what will be on the test, but after that they are on their own. But you do NOT tell them who you think they should vote for, or who you are voting for. One of the most important parts of voting is deciding on your own who the candidate is that you want and why you want them. Don't let anyone/anything influence you. At least at Marquette, if they want to really know about voting etc, send them to Professor McAdams. Though I can't be mad at any college student for not being real educated about politics etc. They are young. Hell, a significant majority of Americans vote for who the mainstream media tells them to because they just aren't educated enough, and have preconceived notions about candidates because of things they hear on TV or read from the many terrible newspapers out there.  That's not the way it's supposed to work. You don't vote for a candidate simply because you hate the other one if the person your voting for would be terrible at his job. Sadly, many millions of voters this year will be doing just that. Those people all know that's why they will be doing it to. Makes me ashamed for many of my fellow Americans. That's not how it's supposed to work.

That's a lot of words to say you have an anticipatory fear that more people voting, and more voting holidays will result in your preferred candidate(s) not winning.

It's a push by many, many athletic departments across the country. And it's a great thing.

But I see voter suppression has some very strong support here. A great thing for a democracy!

I honestly have absolutely zero clue how anyone could be against this lol.

You know you've reached the stage of intelligent discourse as soon as Saul Alinsky is mentioned (even if it's spelled Alinksy). It's somehow incomplete and unsatisfying without a Soros mention, though. And, apparently, the evil Bill Gates is a must-mention now, too.

Now THIS is funny. Got a vocal group of 4 who are crying that people don't educate themselves before voting...and then go and show they have absolutely zero clue whatsoever what defunding the police means.

If you had any idea what it meant you'd realize that it would provide more funds for a number of the issues you find to be a problem that the left ignores. And guess what? There would still be police!

[WhiteTrash]

Thankfully, the vast majority will not choose to be influenced by crotchety old white men whining that America isn't what it used to be in the "good old days," when blacks, women, Hispanics, Jews and various other "others" knew their place.

Actually ... that's probably not true. When they hear those crotchety old white men whining, the young people, very smartly, will be influenced to vote the other way.

Some seriously racist stuff here. This thread needs to be shut down.

Now this right here folks is your example of someone that listens to the mainstream media, and just says "yeah ok, sounds good", without actually knowing himself what it truly means, yet lectures others on what it supposedly means...but sit down and learn, this will be a quick course on what defunding the police REALLY means...what follows are actually quotes, not something I made up and it appeared as an op-ed in the failed New York times( a newspaper a lot of you use for your "info" or sources similar) so here we go..

Quote #1...Anti-criminalization activist Mariame Kaba attempted to settle the debate with the op-ed, "Yes, we mean literally abolish the police."

Quote #2..."But don't get me wrong. We are not abandoning our communities to violence. We don't want to just close police departments. We want to make them obsolete."


Quote #3...She continued, "People like me who want to abolish prisons and police, however, have a vision of a different society, built on cooperation instead of individualism, on mutual aid instead of self-preservation... When the streets calm and people suggest once again that we hire more black police officers or create more civilian review boards, I hope that we remember all the times those efforts have failed."

You are now educated and hopefully will no longer yield all your "senses" to the liberal mainstream media that have the letter "C" in their names.

Oh no, they absolutely do not ignore them, not in the least, in fact they are all for throwing more taxpayer dollars at these farcical liberal social programs that absolutely fit there socialistic platform. ""if it's free, it's for me"!
