Hate to burst YOUR bubble but it's not the students who are paying the big $$ ... it's their parents.
You don't think that parents should be able to pay for their child's education if they want to? And given the number of students that have student loans today, it is likely that the students are also helping to pay their eduction.

*LOL* Still stuck in the 1960s, Chuckity? Students go to college to get good jobs and that's what most of them care about. You obviously don't spend much time on college campuses, do you.
[quote=FinsterRufus;39434269]Oh don't be ridiculous. I've never even looked sideways at a cop, nor them at me.
You excuse one group's bad behavior because another group misbehaves - and one group are the arbitrators of law enforcement! They aren't supposed to act like the criminals. (I suppose I have to make the obvious disclaimer - no not all cops are violent, but there are enough incidents in Baltimore to make it a crisis of confidence). None of this is my opinion.

It's not me telling the story. There's plenty of evidence, and many damages have been paid out. By courts of law. I don't need to tell stories.
And there is plenty of evidence which shows there are just stories, about brutality by police officers....

Careful dear. You're perilously close to a libelous personal attack. I'm a 50 year old white woman. Never had so much as a ticket. Never had a bad interaction, or ANY interaction with the cops, except to wave and nod at wawa. So not only are you comically out of line here, you are just plain dead wrong.
I said, people with your attitude, do you or do you not, support all those who participed in the riots?
Are you a cop hater?
The rest were examples of what is going on and the kind of people police arrest....

I'm not sure he gave up his life for a 4 year old Australian kid. I am not condoning street behavior, or violence. Or gang banging dealers. Or wife beaters. Kindly point out where I support any of that.
I don't get what you mean....Martin Luther King died for all of us, Blacks, whites, everyone....even a 4 year old kid in Australia, if in fact, there is racism there...
and yes, women to....actually I don't care what your nationality is, nor the color of your skin....what I care about are the attitudes of cop haters....are there bad cops, Yes, but not to the extend that every cop hater wishes us to believe....sorry, I don't buy it.
I have every day since this thread started. Conversations don't work when it's only one direction.
Well, I think most can agree that police policing themselves when they have incidents like this,
isn't working. A separate impartial panel should be appointed. I also believe in body cams .
I'm also for use of the taser more and less of the gun to kill mentality.
And, then there is the profiling of cops themselves Should we assume they are all stable.
Finally, there has to be a talk about the war on drugs and our knee jerk reaction to incarcerate.
^^^neither is working.
This idea that the rioters destroyed their own businesses
Granted by destroying those stores that were near their neighborhood is going to make it harder on everyone to get what they need if they can afford it. However, they did not destroy their own businesses. I very much doubt a black person owned that CVS store. Unless it was a barbershop or a hair salon (not many black people own those anymore), I doubt very many businesses that were destroyed in the Baltimore riots were owned by black people, or more specifically owned by family of the rioters or people in that area.
Now it probably did damage in terms of jobs, if they were employed at any of those businesses, but that is about it.
Well, I think most can agree that police policing themselves when they have incidents like this,
isn't working.
It would seem to me that if most agreed it still wouldn't be the standard. It's what is happening still in Baltimore. This is where the mayor has failed.

I'm with you on all of this but it seems to me that we are in the extreme minority.
