What a stupid way to ask for free speech. Yes, because Bush ordered the tasing...  Paging Lance for conspiracy theories. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

If I wrote for a paper that printed that, I would quit my job. That's very unprofessional, and if I were those editors I wouldnt put that job on my resume.

it doesn't appear that the guy cares. the newspaper isn't regulated by anyone. they can do what they want.
beauty of free speech. it's funny people fight for it and then get upset when people use it. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

I think it says a lot about them though and the tasing comment just makes them look like ignorant Bush haters. It's the same thing with the General Be-Tray-Us ads. I could really care less about the free speech issue. Curse away, it's your paper. I just hate stupid commentary. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

trying to relate it to the taser thing was kinda stupid. there's obviously no relation.
but the point is they can say what they want and they got everyone's attention by doing it. so job well done. This post has been edited by cmac: Sep 25 2007, 12:40 PM -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

commentary has the right to be stupid. im not expecting an article coming out of CSU to be Pulitzer prize winning. it should be ethical and unbiased but i dont believe this was written as a straight news report

I don't expect them to be Pulitzer winning either but I do expect some sort of journalistic appeal.
It seems as though we are all going the way of jokes and strange humor to get our points across instead of writing thoughtful articles. cmac, this has nothing to do with free speech. I don't have an issue with the F-Bush comment, I just thought their putting tasing and Bush together was a poor attempt at being funny. I'd like an example of how democrats and republicans are any different in your terms of how one uses propaganda and how the other uses free speech. That's asinine. For all I know, the democrats just use flat out lies, *cough* Dan Rather *cough* -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

damn. you caught me. i thought that part was inappropriate for this thread. i deleted that part.
relating it to the taser thing is kind of dumb. wasn't there a "poor attempt at being funny" in the tech paper last semester? a comic or something? and dan rather didn't lie. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.
