Oh man, thinking of a late extended family member who drank “in moderation”. According to him he only had one (small) glass of vodka a night. What he DIDN’T say was he kept topping that small glass off over and over and.... “But that’s just one drink.. in a small glass..” moderation in his view. Sad part was he was so gone he really believed it.... about as many definitions of moderation as there are for defund and blm Edited June 15, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my day it was pretty much white with few foreign students in the mix. Today lot more overseas students and has really outreached toward minority students. Town and county still low in minorities and conservative so comfort level not too good there. Since the last few months appears college heads realized they need to open the communications to students a LOT wider due to CV and white/minority/police problems. (Not going to say BLM because of “definition” issues but same idea). Some might say small steps but steps none the less. edit (what I forgot): BITD state colleges hid any bad news including racial issues. Now mine publicizes it with a statement that basically says “we don’t put up with this ####”. That includes racist fb statements with photos taken on school property. (Can’t say example I am thinking) I know you mean well in relating these experiences, but your unintentional bias is often as exposed as Chris Cuomo’s butt in a live yoga video.

Sorry for bringing up that I think it’s a good thing that my old college is opening lines of communications between all students and security. Talking between all sides is critical.

Sorry if bringing up that I think it’s a good thing that my old college opening lines of communications between all students. Talking between all sides is critical. That’s my bias and #### proud of it. Time to relearn the ignore feature... It was a mostly just a joke about Chris Cuomo’s butt, but ok. To clarify, the “those of us who wish we were still innocent” was not in reference to your communication, but to the video. As for the bias part, it seemed pretty obvious to me, but if not to you that’s fine, I doubt there is any point in discussing it in that case. It wasn’t that big of a deal and I did not mean to imply that it was. It is certainly not anything I don’t hear all the time. And I am honestly just too exhausted by it all, on top of the stress, crisis, fear and heartbreak due to recent personal circumstances, to carry on these discussions. May everyone find peace and understanding. Or at least some change between the couch cushions. Edited June 15, 2020 by skevinp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I got that part (Thank goodness it was from text and not video🤮). I just have no idea what bias I am showing... As far “definition issues” with BLM and defund don’t want to derail the thread again with “what they really mean” discussions/arguments. And comparing open communications in college toady and my day 40 years back I have to cringe. School hid so #### much so they wouldn’t lose potential students. It was worse as a state school as seen as competing against 13 others. Now open about assaults, students arrested for whatever and even students who pass away. I look at the college newspaper which now reports it all and just amazed. Edited June 15, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
