She has never experienced oppression and was shocked at the ways others have to live that experiences oppression. I was very proud of her that she has such an open heart to put yourself in anothers shoes to see what their life is like. I feel this has made your heart open to loving and caring about other people even more...... My daughter went thru one ot these today and it really made an impression on her.

It wouldn't be a stretch to suggest the greater campus community disagreed with the decision to fund the public abortion exhibits featured on the quad earlier during the academic school year and nonetheless I doubt there should be many problems with its continued funding, seeing as to how they've been funded for the past 4. You win some, you lose some. I commend, shall we say your curiosity, however, as far the antipathy concerning the event's funding, this should just be considered familiar territory.

I didn't criticize a whole newspaper; at best, I brought up aspects that I both appreciate and dislike. By your reasoning, by taking an obviously wrong interpretation of my response, you ARE retarded. Taking the denotation of the word instead of the connotation? Really, this is a complaint? Have your read the article concerning "the golden virtue," i.e. tolerance? I wonder if you'd complain after reading that article and attack it for only examining the "denotation" as opposed to the connotation of the word or for that matter even consider how the word's changed since becoming politicized. I don't criticize all of the Carolina Review because quite frankly, i do agree with its points from time to time. Also, way to go for promoting a positive space for discussion, because that's really what we need in a forum committed to accomplishing worthwhile discussion, more baseless attacks. Next time you "try" to argue a point, "try" attacking the argument instead of the person making it. I don't judge you for it though, not all of us learned that in middle school.

You ARE retarded for taking the denotation of the word instead of the connotation that was clearly meant. And don't criticize a whole newspaper because you disagree with the views given.

I suppose that, given a culture that accepts homosexuality as it seems to be defined today, gays and lesbians are to be expected to act, dress, and speak differently from the way in which heterosexuals act, dress, and speak. Sorry about the rhetoric. Okay, I concede (except on the accent topic–newscasters just learn a certain kind of "desirable" American accent).
