Liberalism on college campuses
Advertisements [?]
I'm currently attending a school in Michigan, and here are my observations on the setup here.

THe huge slathering and kvetching people do about college campuses being nothing but crazy liberals? Pretty damn inaccurate.

The extent of the liberalism of most people I've met is "Smoke a lot of bud and drink a lot of 151 on the weekends. And fuck some chick I met at a party." Not quite what I think of when I think of liberalism.

Socially, what do a lot of these college kids think? They slur gay people a lot; it's not "be quiet, please, art major." It's "fuckin' shut up, art fag." Many of them are pretty misogynist; everyone's a bitch, women who disagree with you are sluts, and so on.

I get the impression that not too many people know how to separate social liberalism (at least the drinking and smoking and fucking aspects of it) from everything else.

Just my two cents. This is a half-rant, because I had to listen to some people complain about how they haven't been around conservatives in so long and so on and didn't feel like starting shit, oi.

Peace action. Hope this makes some sense -- I've had an on and off headahce today.
