See the difference? It’s not discrimination based on sexual orientation, that’s certainly not allowed, it’s free speech protections.” complete circus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly depends on the legacy, if I can really be blunt. If I had managed some place like Harvard and one of the nieces or nephews was able to aim for that as well and using my name would forward them to the top of the acceptance list, it wouldn't feel like a throw-away because they would be going there to learn. But when you get entire families of political inbreds that all get into Ivy Leagues because someone was a legacy, it just seems like those spots could and should have gone to those who actually want to continue their education instead of someone looking for something to do in-between vacations. 5 hours ago, Icarus27k said: I feel like I am a better person for not personally knowing any of the people who wrote today's homophobic Court ruling. I can get much higher quality humans to interact with. A roadkill Muppet would still be a higher quality human than the so-called conservative SCROTUS. I guess it's time for people to really get their own creative juices flowing, create their own businesses and then refuse service to anyone who belongs to a fundi-christian sect on 'personally held religious beliefs that said people are garbage and any creative content required would violate personal free speech'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discolé monade Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 11 hours ago, Master-Debater131 said: It was about a state law that amounted to compelled speech. It wasn't about the right to refuse service but a question if the state can compel you to participate in speech that you do not agree with. It focused, in this case, on a web designer who didn't want to provide openly LGBT messages on her designs. That was illegal under Colorado law. This ruling means that you cannot be compelled to participate in speech that you do not agree with. You cant outright ban services to entire classes of people, but you also cant be forced to participate in speech. no, i think it's a step back into a jim crow era, but this time include all undesirables. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deciding who is worthy of an advanced degree is a sticky issue, since, you could also argue those political inbreeds are better equipped to learn in a collegiate academic program. Those who need that prestigious Harvard degree to get ahead are also more likely to have had to overcome a substandard public primary and secondary education. They’re also less likely to have the money to pay for that education. The university legacy student is a complicated enigma in a system that is overall failing.

1pooh4u Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I’m sorry but any argument supporting legacy admissions are bad arguments. Having a family member or members attending a university in the past has absolutely zero to do with the current person applying today. A huge chunk of Harvard’s (and the other Ivy leagues) student body are legacy way more than any affirmative action admissions #endlagacyadmissions https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1060361 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Well, here I come.... I agree with Ricky Smiley. Harvard doesn't want us and only allow the minimum with guise that blacks underperform compared to their white counterparts....The realty being that they want to do away with their minority allowance. Instead, HBCUs will be happy to have you but schools like Morehouse are on very few people's list of goals despite producing amazing alums. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t to point out a hypocrisy, only an acknowledgment that they do it, but at this time in history, it’s not as damaging as the Ivy League because they aren’t as well known or sought after like their Ivy League counterparts. Save for Moorehouse, Howard and Spelman, which are pretty well known and highly regarded options to higher education. Quite a few HBCUs have closed down or lost accreditation. You never hear that happening to the Ivy League schools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 This SCOTUS has thrown away both who has standing to bring a law suit, and precedent. The conservative Justices use the examples of legalizing gay intimacy and shooting down “separate but equal” laws as their right to blow up precedence. So typically conservative, to compare apples and oranges swearing they’re exactly the same fruits, when the world knows they are not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Oh they’re definitely overturning that because they fuckin think they know better than the experts the chevron doctrine allows judges to defer to agencies interpretation of ambiguous laws. that means judges get to say “look I don’t know shit about how the environment works so I defer to the scientists in charge of (insert agency here) to interpret the law in the best interest of the planet. They strike that down and judges get to make decisions about shit they know nothing about based on their feelings or based off whichever corporate interest spent the most $$ on said judge like how Justice Thomas does things Pat can definitely explain it better or correctly since my interpretation is based off reading 3 articles about what the chevron doctrine is 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
