Below are examples of a few College Courses from some of our more Liberal (Progressive) institutions of higher learning. My question is how in the hell are you suposed to sit through these with a straight face? Do you really get graded on this stuff.
1. The unbearable whiteness of "Barbie". Occidental College near LA
2. "Same Sex Eroticism in Renaissance Europe" Princeton
3. Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll in Ancient Egypt." John's Hopkins

Actually I think the folks with educations from John's Hopkins and Princeton are the ones trying not to laugh at you.

I'm a multimillionaire and these morons are laughing at me. Maybe you can tell me why Barbie is unbearable at occidental...other than just because it's in California.

The Barbie course is for chicks. Me? I'm signing up for Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll in Ancient Egypt. Sounds interesting.

Via the lottery or through business?

storch eloquently wondered out load to himself and others about the area:
really? why?
yeager replied to storch with utmost sensitivity:
because people from John's Hopkins and Princeton are elitists...and elitists hate everybody else, especially dumb people.
People from John's Hopkins and Princeton also hate guns because elitists dont know how to use guns and the dumb people who do know how to use guns hate the elitists......remember what stalin and hitler did with the elitists in europe and russia?

I've yet to see any liberal colleges offer "Common Sense 101" since I've never met a liberal that had common sense.

well sort of but not really. I work for many highly educated people, some are wealthy but most are middle classed and employed by UM where we service their gates and access controls systems at their many locations around town. I'm treated with respect and no condescension. they respect me for my expertise in my field and for my prompt and efficient service. the guy that is laughing is me as I head to the bank and then to my million dollar home, though I may be an ignorant, uneducated dumb bell by MTs standards. and before you ask if I won the lotto, yes I did. the luck of the draw provided me being able to reside in the United States of America and have great role models in the form of my parents and my in-laws. their example of hard work and frugality coupled with good conservative thinking and fiscal responsibilty has allowed me to achieve far beyond my own expectations.

Not saying that these courses might have existed for a single semester. In grad school there are some very unusual courses offered at most universities. They last for a semester and allow the prof to use students who sign up for the class (usually at the prof's request) to help with research for an academic paper. These courses are not usually available to undergrads and frequently are only available to doctoral students and certain masters students by invitation.
I would bet that's the case with the Princeton and Johns Hopkins courses.
On the other hand, the Oxy course does not surprise me. That is a very liberal college. Seeing that kind of course (and one they have called "Stupidity" as part of Religious Studies program) is no more surprising as finding a course at Bob Jones University in the School of Teacher Education called "A Culture in Crisis: reclaiming the Arts from the current moral decadence prevalent in today’s culture," or that Oral Roberts University has a course that teaches you how to be a faith healer called "Charismatic Life and the Healing Ministry."

Ya!! Damn those PRIVATE colleges for teaching what they want...

So what's the deal Storch? Is Weaselsan a shades account? You seem to keep answering for him as if I were talking to you.
Oh and FWIW there are people all over CA living in million dollar homes. Million dollar homes are a dime a dozen.(<-- that was a joke too. I'll try to point them out from now on.)
-
WOOOTTTT I am a multi-millionaire too!!!!!!
1. I live in million dollar house (HUGE mortgage...but that isn't the point I suppose)
2. I too won the lottery. I was born on a small island with a silver spoon in my mouth and a big trust fund.
I ROCK!!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!
As a result I know everything....and people with differing opinions are just plain silly.
:aok

Well, I used to think offering a college course in video game competition was silly too. Then I noticed how much coin these idiots in Korea are hauling down playing Star Craft.
Look hard enough and you'll find stupid courses on all sorts of subjects. It's not a liberal issue...unless of course you are in the mood to bait people;).

Actually, it has everything to do with liberal issues and liberal professors (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8427-2005Mar28.html).

"it"?
So most professors are liberal. What does that tell us? Do you have conclusions to draw upon or are you just throwing seeds on the dirt to see the crows pick them up?
Here's a theory..
1. Most professors have doctorates.
2. Doctorates are difficult to attain and require hard work and dedication.
3. Doctorates require intelligence as well.
4. There are 2 basic things you can do with a doctorate, teach or go into business.
5. Liberals tend to find teaching more rewarding, conservatives tend to find business more rewarding.
6. So what?

Got to be honest here and say I don't consider the designation of "Liberal" as being evil. That word has been bastardized by political opportunists looking for a handy target and scapegoat.
It is certainly true that in Canada and Europe we view the term "Liberal" in a much different way then many people in the US do now.
As for colleges being liberal I'm not surprised and this is not news...let me loosely quote Churchill:
"If you are not a liberal when you are young than you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when you are old than you have no brain."
It's not new and it's not a bad thing. People grow and their opinions evolve. What makes democracies great is the differing views which exist in them and the compromises they find between them. You can't have a true democracy when only one extreme flourishes...be it right or left wing.

MT... what it says to me is that most professors are afraid to interact with people and to compete on an even basis and choose to hide in a fairy tale land of acadamia surrounding themselves with like minded and useless peers.
"hard work" is a relative term. you will find no calouses on the lilly white hands of these acadamians.

Teaching isn't hard work?

If it is..... they are doing it wrong.

Educating is not difficult. Indoctrinating can be quite tedious.

"Loosely" is right, because Churchill never said that. Its a wives tale.
Liberals are as much of a threat to the U.S. as terrorists are.

You learn something new every day. Here's what the Churchill centre had to say on this:
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"
I stand corrected on the source of the quote but, stand by the meaning of it.
As for Liberals being compared to terrorist...well...I hope a day comes when you will also claim that's a misquote from you. I just swallowed a fly I laughed so hard;).

Oh...my my my...lets light a fire! HAHAHAHA...
OK...well...what follows is all in fun...just to show that yes, Liberals are dangerous. :D
for all you Bushaloons who'd like to post invectives below and think "lazy libs" won't and can't fight a war... may I direct you, please, to the War Between The States, where people like you fought on the side of the Confederacy, and liberals wore blue and fought on the side of the Union?
The liberals won.
May I also direct you to the Revolutionary War that began the life of this nation? People like you Bushaloons fought on the side of the King. You were called "Loyalists". We liberals called you traitors and fought on the side of a brand new country, and wore blue. As usual, you chose red.
The liberals won.
Finally, let's take one last loving look at World Wars I and II, where the ignorant like you chose tyranny over democracy, got quite the erection for a Germanic-surnamed Christian demagogue and attempted to force the rest of the world to share your exuberant burst of ejaculate. You eventually, finally, as usual, decided to battle the liberals who opposed you.
The liberals won.
A few years of comic books, the internet and Paris Hilton's breasts aren't going to change how history works, no matter how you spin it.
Come, declare war on the liberals again. We'll spank your pansy traitor butts just like all the other times we've done it before. Enough myth making; you're completely boring, all of you; you jackboot-worshipping neocon adolescents have never won a single war your entire lives, in ANY era, and that's not about to change now. I don't care what Rush, Sean and the other cowardly 4F deserters draw in your coloring books. Liberals have defeated you in battle every single time!
So, Google the painting "The Spirit of 76". The men in that illustration, dear Bushaloons, were LIBERALS. Now go home and cry to mommy that once again, we are taking over your country.

well... if Jefferson and Adams were liberals then the meaning of liberal has changed over the centuries.

"Bushaloons "???? come on you can do better than that, use that liberal education.

What's the issue with those courses?
1) Haven't a clue about that one
2) Given the sexual persuasions of many Renaissance artists, I'd say it was a valid area of knowledge to teach about
3) Clearly tongue-in-cheek; get a sense of humour

Those courses sound beguilingly simple. What would probably happen if I signed up for one of those classes, is I would have to work my but off just to pass.
Also they sound like specialized courses which could be a nightmare if not prepared to do the work. I doubt they're easy courses. Think of it like this. You should be able to handle any course, even it it's nonsense, right?:D

5. Liberals tend to find teaching more rewarding, conservatives tend to find business more rewarding.
If you can't do, teach.
