I wish it was just trolling. It'd be easy enough to do, but not what I'm doing.

So switching from using the word tyranny to govern and trying to make it sound like government? As in, the college is a government?

You do know that a college may "govern" but your now just using it as an adjective. They can also administer. Hell, they could even dictate!

But just because they are dictating, doesn't make them a dictatorship. Just as governing, doesn't make them a government.

It's not a government, it's also not tyrannical. Giving them wheels also wouldn't make them a bicycle.

Well shit, I didn't expect redditors to volunteer to be the people to go storm his place. Bold move.

....or are you not volunteering for that? You just want to read the news article about cops and others dying because some guy is a lunatic?

Tyranny

The college also isn't the government. I don't know if you're incapable of critical and real-world thought or you've just selected your point to argue and keep digging in further.

Ehhhh, that's a bit of a stretch....I'm not going to agree they aren't funded because it's white Vermonters going there. That's a huge accusation.

We don't spend a lot of higher Ed because it's turned into a business rather than focusing on why it actually exists, which is to educate.

Admin bloat, unnecessary classes and positions that serve no purpose to educate, but offer positions to people. I also don't think state schools should turn a profit, they should break even, like a government service. But if say that, they also need support. Can't expect them to operate like a business without operating like a business.

I'm not defending anything. I'm saying your analogy is garbage. I don't like the fact that books are going away, but not liking something doesn't mean I don't understand it.

And you calling the library's physical copies being removed as tyranny is also crazy. It's not good, but it's not tyranny.

I'll just go ahead and assume you also think if someone doesn't agree with you that they are the basically the next Hitler.

Who knows maybe these VT colleges are tyrannical!

So you're sticking by your bad analogy?

I know they're failing. They've been failing for years. They are doing a slow death through all of the colleges rather than determining what to actually cut out and try to correct the ship.

The sad reality is not all of them can stay open at their current standing. Desire to stay open isn't going to pay bills. Higher recruitment (unlikely) or severe consolidation needs to occur.

Maybe there is another way I'm not familiar with, but the slow closing is only prolonging it's death. Work to correct the issue and get the system healthy rather than doing slow amputation.

Those are two entirely different scenarios. I'm assuming you understand that.

One is the active censorship by government and the other is a school not being able to fund itself, but using the guise of being more effective and streamlined.

You understand the difference right.....right?

Vermont State Colleges are trying to create a stranglehold on the knowledge of society?

Or they are failing and this is a lb attempt to save money at failing schools?

Which is more likely?

Don't let a previous poster see this. They'll think of all the apartments you could fit in that barn

>It's not spam. It is a relevant topic in many states and I thought I'd enter the dialog.

It's like when building a house when people see all the framing up and go, "Wow, the house is going up quickly!"

No, the frame is up, the most basic and quick part of building a house. It looks like a house, but its extremely far from being livable.

Post on Front Porch Forum as well. You'll get a different demographic than reddit.

The sad thing about a lot of projects is lack of random sampling, so a few additional sources could help you out and try to get some different groups

Yup, you're absolutely right. That's what they meant when they typed. They didn't typed that and instead typed different words with different meanings, but that's what they meant. It's without a doubt that, rather than the words they actually typed. I'm feeling fortunate you could translate and call out the second-coming of Hitler over here!

How could anyone take the words they actually wrote and thought that those were the words they meant to type out, when they achtullly meant, "shut up and play"?

I'm glad my blinders were pulled off and I can now see their unwritten meaning that someone else concocted rather than what the person wrote themselves!

You are doing a great job of debating points u/bobsizzle never brought up and actively avoiding their actual reasoning. I'm not sure how much more clear they could make their point, but I guess it's easier to make yourself feel right when don't 'debate' the actual topic.

If you won't say it, I will. It's totally BS due to the bias. If someone wants to drop off a bio about themselves and say they are buying a home, great, go for it. Personally a bit weird to me to have random people know about you, but all's fair in love and war home buying.

I'd chalk it up to the realtor wanting their 3%. If someone has a little bit of time, a broker, and a real estate lawyer for documents, a realtor is worthless. If someone wants to be assisted during home buying, a realtor is great, but they aren't as necessary as they try to act.

I saw one walking around near Burlington. Clear as day. Thing was 6 feet tall, walking on it's hind legs and grabbing at people trying to eat them! Or those might have been high-fives.

I'm also not sure who put them in a UVM shirt.

Top comment seems pretty spot on to me.

And what part of hiking the Long Trail is historically black or indigenous?

I'm not too sure 400 years ago people were taking their weekends to hike Camel's Hump to enjoy the view on a sunny July day.

You think the tldr was bullshit?

More bullshit than what the article was?

I mean, not much of a conversation or argument. You pointed out something that is easily disproven and then refused to acknowledge that.....so I guess you're going with the toddler route of yelling and then sticking yor fingers in your ears.

Is holding your breath next?

I'd say it's having you back up your point, but you already know the answer to the question because you can't find it. Is this the part where I add, you are wrong here?

So squirrels are fairly common in Vermont. This is because the population of squirrels is so high. If you sit down and be quiet you can see a ton of them.

A moose on the other hand have a much much smaller population. So you could do the same activity, sitting in down in the woods and being quiet, and you probably won't see one. This is due to the smaller population.

In this cheesey grade school story, the squirrels are white people. The moose are PoC.

So when talk about population and probability, you're more likely (probable) to see something that there is more of (population).

Hope that helps.

Show me any one of their comments in this comment thread that doesn't show them as a savior for others who can't help themselves? Just send the link or copy/paste it.

Oh, it's all of them.

No, it doesn't. Vermont is majority white, guess what the majority of people on the trails will be?

It's like walking on a trail and seeing a ton of squirrels and wondering why don't see more moose. There's a helluva more squirrels than moose.
