I'm not trying to start anything here, but as a visitor to this board for almost 2 yrs now (thanks for reminding me, time flys when your having fun), I just don't see a whole lot of this "Leftist" rhetoric that your're mentioning. If anything, I believe the moderates and right-wingers far out number the liberals here on XOC.

Really, I don't mind if you call me a "Lefty" because I just don't think I am one (more moderate if anything). As a registered Independent, I voted for Weld and Romney for Governor (never voted for Ted), I'm for the death penalty and full prison terms, I'm a firm believer in the MCAS testing program and "English Immersion" , I don't trust unions (it was a good concept on paper, but then the Mafia got their hands on it), and I was all for welfare reform.

I will give you the fact that I am a firm believer in gun CONTROL (I never stated anything about banning all firearms), and I don't feel that "Big Business" should have complete freedom (I think it already dictates too much of this countries policies).

Our insult threads are getting boring.

I totally agree. I have heard though that our "tit-for-tat" sessions get a high number of viewers. I wouldn't mind having an intelligent debate with you someday, but it just pisses me off to no end when you call me an anti-Semite or when you make fun of my wife and kid.

The scholarships weren't full but they got some grants and other stuff. Why is it so hard to believe? Probably because they are white. It is shocking that schools in MA still have money for white students.

I'm sure it's not because their white, affirmative action in this State is fighting a losing battle. In these day's of State cutbacks and all, I'm suprised that anybody gets grants or scholarships anymore. I myself couldn't afford the bill at a university, but I was lucky enough to find jobs that had tuition reimburshment. The company I work at now just about paid for my BS at Boston University.
