http://www.digg.com/politics/To_Protect_Co...olitical_Debate QUOTE Assuming that college students are too dumb to think for themselves, a Texan lawmaker introduced a bill to "protect" them - by limiting political debate. Sir, if you really wanted to help college students, why not worry about how to make colleges more affordable so that ALL students can attend & decide what they want to do - or believe.

i guess ive just had good teachers. i can understand in some classes/schools to really teach a subject so stupid people (cupcakes "teenagers") can grasp its meaning you have to present a point of view on the matter. but yes you should always make your own personal feelings ambiguous or present several view points. that can be tasking to do every single time you discuss a topic in a poli sci class.
i dont get why its so offensive. so your philo professor is a liberal (thats really surprising!) - im just betting what jessica meant by bias in her philosophy classes are towards the "outthere" liberal side more on topic: debate/discussion are one of the most interesting aspects of college courses. a couple of my teachers agree and we'll have these in class. its sad that at the beginning of each class they have to repeat commonsense rules about what a debate is and how it is not a precursor to WWE style fistacuffs. "teenagers" are stupid shutting them out completely is also stupid. these stupids should change not the format of discussion -------------------- Little monkeys making money
