This is REALLY funny coming from someone >>who just a few posting back told someone "if that's you're attitude then move >>to Colorado Springs." Let me ask a question. Have these PK's advocated or tried >>to forcibly take any rights away from you or any other woman? I think not. > >Has the KKK recently advocated or tried to forcibly take any rights away >from blacks? Has the American Nazi party recently advocated or tried to >forcibly take rights away from Jews or other groups? Um, yes. The neonazi groups in Idaho advocate creating an all white confederacy of states and giving non-whites 24 hours to get out or lose their freedom (or is it lose their lives, I forget which). >Just because a group merely preaches inequality doesn't mean it's >view points aren't offensive. Yup. But first tell me what inequalities the PK's have preached, and don't give me the old recycled propoganda the Boulder PC crowd has invented about them. Second, be offended all you want, but so long as they aren't bothering you why are you going out of your way to bother them SOLEY on the basis of their difference in beliefs. Isn't that the antithesis of TOLERANT behaviour? > >>So >>the major part of you objections comes from their beliefs vs. yours, and YOU >>can't tolerate them having a belief that conflict with yours (by the way, do >>you really even KNOW what their beliefs are?

The only time I've heard of major stinks with scheduling at CU was back when they wanted to have a big concert (1) during the school year (2) during the weekday (3) while there where night classes in session. Other than that CU has never given a squat about traffic. -kelvin
