is more or less a place for crazy right-wingers to vent. I'm guessing many of them are closeted homosexuals... last week one guy was convinced that socialists were behind the global warming "conspiracy" and equated Senator McCarthy to being a great American. Another person somehow had the idea that Nietzsche was a Nazi party member, and yet another wrote a rant about how the Golden Compass promotes Satanism...finally, our former MAYOR had a special column reserved so he could vociferate against "effeminate coastal types" who promote Impressionism, Expressionism, and general abstraction in Modern Art (this is supposed to be controversial) and that society had strayed from the "classically acceptable" techniques of Rembrandt and the Renaissance. Perhaps it's time to seriously consider a move.

I dont really think so...this is more up for discussion. It's not a national news story, it's just some local backwards paper. I don't really think it belongs in News and Debate because there is really nothing to debate here. But thanks for creating something

oh yeah, and this:
Quote:
International rankings by The Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University suggest that UIUC is the 20th best university in North America, and 26th best university in the world.[29] The Academic Ranking of World Universities by Broad Subject Fields from the same research center in 2007 positions UIUC as the 3rd best in Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences, only after MIT and Stanford. It is 19th in Life and Agriculture Sciences, 20th in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and 51st (tied) in Social Sciences.[30] Notably, the ranking is recognized for its ruthless objectiveness and emphasis on research productivity/scholastic achievement.

Yeah, I graduated from Miami University - Oxford, one of the original 8 public ivies before Greenes' multiplied the list by 4...
Anyway, as soon as you graduate, I would move. That place sounds terrible.
I'm actually from here, I just graduated from another state school and moved back

You should write a letter to the editor and express as many liberal views as you possibly can. Probably would never get published, but I think it would be fun.

I would assume this paper is online.
Is it not?
what I'm saying is - do you actually have regard for truth, or do you just expect that a balanced account of something equates to hearing it from two opposing ideological perspectives
