College Students Sign Petition To Support ISIS - YouTube

This isn't a community college nor fake college in a shopping center building. These are real university students signing to support ISIS. One even makes the claim that one of those beheaded was actually an Israeli Mosad agent.

I can't see the video from work, but I found this:

When College Students Are Asked To Sign A Petition Supporting ISIS, Several Get It Remarkably Right

The link explains that the person that created the petition, Dan Joseph, likes to do such things. I believe to show how some college students (or 'man on the street') are not up on current events.

Watching College Students Sign a Petition Supporting Islamic State Will Frustrate You

In this link, it is reported that Mr. Joseph (who explains whom ISIS is to potential signees) stated to one such person: "They are just like us, only with slightly more beheadings".

In other words, I would not get too upset. I doubt it reflects much of, well, anything.

Mark Dice pulls this crap all the time. His videos are highly edited, and he's well known to pester people to sign things till they do so just to get him out of peoples faces. He needs a life.

It reflects just how out of touch some college students are. And I'm being nice by saying "out of touch". My first choice was "stupid".

Not a cause for concern that Americans at an institution of 'higher learning' are so easily befuddled?

Am I concerned because some dozen or so students are fooled by a person with a phoney petition? No.

Totally agree. Some of those speaking in "support" of ISIS were TOTAL dipsh*ts

So what? He can't edit a "No" into a "Yes" and if people only signed it because he was pestering them, that also makes no difference. No amount of pestering should convince someone to sign something supporting ISIS.

I think that the founding fathers had a point and working from experience, when they made it so only property male owners could vote.

When those that have no skin in the game enough to keep up, get to decide for others, you get ignorant people thinking it is a beauty pageant.

You should try to watch this......amazing some of these students signed the petition, just so they could move along. It's a VERY big deal, blind leading the blind is NEVER an American trait.

These students wonder why no one wants to pay for their education. With students not up on current events what is there to pay for......more stupid people willing to support ISIS!

The student said, "it was a bad thing and shouldn't be done" as he signed the petition supporting the beheading!!

Represents much of nothing! This represents kids who complain student loans are too much and they can't get out of mom's house......wonder were they think the children of ISIS end up??
