I don't have a problem with what Berkeley did. The resolution was voted on, and passed by a great majority. Isn't this democracy at work?
What were the Marines thinking when moving to Berkeley?
BTW, the marines have a higher rate of alcoholism, rape and other violent crime than any other branch of the military.
Hmmmm how do the Marines compare to say Washington DC? Philedelphia PA?
New Orleans? I would wager by comparison they are saints.
Would Berkley welcome the Marines if say an Earthquake hit them and all those misunderstood criminals began looting, raping and killing the residents?
Oh yeah thats right its the Marines job to protect even those who treat them worse than than they would a drug dealer. Especially if that dealer was a fellow pot head.
Using your example of Planned Parenthood, I suppose it's okay to murder doctors who provide services? Because that's what happens in reality. Anyone got to vote on the death of the doctors? No, didn't think so.
Want to try some facts instead of conjecture?
No, I don't believe in murdering doctors (!) I believe in giving the death penalty to those that are convicted of it, though, but you should make that issue a new thread.
If you read my post I referred to using a vote to remove a legitimate entity from one's town to satisfy the collective so-called sense of righteousness of it's citizens.
What type of logic did you use to turn that into condoning cold blooded murder murder?
2. On the flipside... what the hell is the military doing trying to recruit in Berkeley? That in itself is pretty comical...QUOTE]
That's a great question. It makes about as much sense as setting up a roadside stand that sells those Virgin Mary candles in Tel Aviv.
Christianity is legal in Israel. The Marine Corps is legal in Berkeley, California.
These are civilized places we're talking about here. There is nothing either comical or nonsensical about religious diversity or about offering young people the opportunity to serve their country.
After all, no one is forcing anyone to convert to Christianity in Tel Aviv or to enlist in the Marines in Berkeley.

Yeah, but those examples aren't "correct" examples of diversity. Especially in a tolerant, open minded locale like Berkeley.

Tolerant? Open minded? As in as long as you think just like we do feel free to be yourself? Oh wait pass the weed and express yourself. Ok now I got it.
Whatever it takes, whoever it offends. It sure beats getting that dreaded phone call from the military that quickly deflates your previously indefatigable patriotism and forces you to realize how precious is each human life. No amount of medals or white grave markers can erase the stigma of cannon fodder. Better to stop them in their tracks before they sign up to serve heartless masters who promise honor and integrity while exhibiting neither.

Another individual with no clue of what it means to wear the uniform.
Those in Uniform don't do it to please the elected elite..
