Atheist group at Dartmouth plans anti Mother Teresa event

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Ann Coulter is hot.

She is an internet troll come to life. It's quite fascinating.

[Danno 1,228]

We were.

Also, Ann Coulter. The less attention given to her, the better.

"attention" suggests a voluntary act,

which is not exactly what what is going on here.

Q: do you support the pressure to ban her speech from the campus?

I can still catch her on the TV, record it, and play back the bits I find interesting.

She's hot, I tell ya !

But , don't mind me, aye?

I still get all hot and bothered over Yuen Qiu, as much as Ann Coulter.

McShane said preventing Coulter from speaking would "counter one wrong with another," and explicitly stated he wouldn't forbid the CRs from having her speak at the Jesuit university. Nevertheless, the Fordham CRs beat him to it anyway and quickly rescinded the invitation to Coulter.

There was no ban. The President didn't BAN her speech from the campus. He voiced his displeasure, which he has the right to do. Other students also have the right to protest her. Nobody was in the wrong here. They uninvited her on their own.

Let's get this straight... the Leader of the university, found it more necessary to write a letter of condemnation on an invited guest.... than the mob which moved to silence speech..... at the very place speech should be the most free.

o------K.

Why shouldn't the letter have been written? Why shouldn't people have protested her coming to the University? You are talking about free speech, but you're saying one of those people should have been silenced? I'm not following.

Everyone here exercised their right to free speech, no?

[Darnell 8,479]

I'm a free-speeching about Ann, that's all I know ..

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

i don't care to and haven't ridiculed mother teresa.

That is not the impression you are giving here.

[decocker 7,198]

That is not the impression you are giving here.

then try quoting where i ridiculed her.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

mother teresa believed that suffering was a gift from god. pretty sure she'd thwart the democratic will of the world too. i was only trying to understand why you brought up susan rice?

obama should most definitely stop this event from happening, it is so completely comparable to him stating that extremist islam shouldn't be allowed to hijack the religion.

jeez. i never said it was a catholic event. you're not grasping my point.

hate speech? i don't see it. do you know why they have the opinion of mother teresa that they do? honestly, it's only an opinion that an atheist or agnostic could hold. their position makes absolute sense to me, i just think it's unnecessary and won't accomplish anything. what makes you think that obama has to take a side on such a miniscule if not completely useless college event?

by saying that i understand why these kids hold the opinions they do - i am in no way tarnishing her reputation and i wasn't trying to. they take issue with the idea that suffering is a gift from god. most people who don't believe in god take issue with that line of thinking.

i only commented on this thread because you and the op seem to think that the president should get involved. which is laughable.

then try quoting where i ridiculed her.

Looks to me that this is more than an academic question to you.

That's so funny!! And SO true!

[decocker 7,198]

nope. none of the statements i made were ridicule. none. try again.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Slander? What is it when you attribute an idea to a person that is not held by them?

Suffering will never be completely absent from our lives. So don’t be afraid of suffering. Your suffering is a great means of love, if you make use of it, especially if you offer it for peace in the world. Suffering in and of itself is useless, but suffering that is shared with the passion of Christ is a wonderful gift and a sign of love. Christ’s suffering proved to be a gift, the greatest gift of love, because through his suffering our sins were atoned for. -- Mother Teresa

Come on quite with it, you know they were more about shutting her out... not whining about her ideas.

do you really want to get into a theological debate here? i thought you would be able to understand why i brought up the correlation between the misquote and the ideology, i was wrong.

the last time i'll say it, i don't care to ridicule mother teresa, i haven't and i won't.

i will however continue to laugh at your demand of the president's involvement..
