    Re: The college campus stuff.

    I've found a lot of it surprising (maybe I shouldn't) and definitely disturbing. From some students to some faculty members.

    Colleges can be an incubator for contrary thinking. Sometimes that's great. In this case, it's particularly awful. Certainly some (many?) students are committed to their point of view. And some (many?) are just along for the ride and oblivious to the larger issues and what they're actually supporting. I'm willing bet most of them don't actually support ethnic cleansing.

    It's a real issue. What I don't know is percentages. The worst of the worst are certainly highlighted by people who have a clear agenda and want people to believe this is some sort of overall Democrat position (which is the political side I find fucking disgusting).

    But, on a campus of say, 30,000 undergrads, how many are we talking about? A few hundred? A thousand? And what are those percentages nationwide?

    My estimate is that it's not big. It just gets the most play on social media and angertainment outlets. Because of that agenda.

    Yeah but I saw it on TV news, so it must be important.

    When they scream "Rip their head off!" at a college football game, they usually don't mean it literally.

    Usually. Except Bama.

    How many college students knew who Che Guevara was before they put those dumb shirts on a few years ago?

    We aren’t like that for non-conference games.

    Once I had a young lady let me know she'd be leaving class early to attend a banking/finance job fair. "In that case," says I, "you might want to give yourself a bit more time to change your shirt before you go."

    Many of these people are expressing support for Palestinians, who they see as victims. That doesn't mean they are all supporting Hamas, as some of the individuals trying to spread their fake hysteria would have you believe. Some of the chants are disturbing, but I imagine many of the idiots chanting "...from the river to the sea.." have no idea what it means.

    It's all disturbing, but the folks falsely claiming that every protester hates Jewish people and wants us all dead are either incredibly stupid, completely full of shit, or a toxic mix of both.
