skyrider 0 #28 June 30, 2010 Quote>So , they also going to make Frat's and Sorority's accept all who want to join? Well, the college could certainly do that if they wanted to. The frats and sororities could also refuse any benefits from the school if they so choose. Then they could do whatever they wanted as well. but they do, they discriminate, and recieve school funding! they should have to accept all student's, blacks into white frats, people from different social/finacial backgrounds! If the court is going to force One fund recieving organisation into accepting people that do not fit their agenda, then ALL groups that recieve funds ahould have to follow suit!

You say the federal government should enforce the existing immigration laws, but will you lobby for them to do that? I think we see the problem now.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #31 June 30, 2010 Quote[ they should have to accept all student's, blacks into white frats, people from different social/finacial backgrounds! There are no "white frats" at least not officially. I would bet there are no national college fraternal organizations without some black members. At the local level there may be individual chapters without black members. Not saying that is right, but it is cultural, not a blanket prohibition like this group. I do agree all groups should have to follow the rules."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The concept that one could live by a book of ancient superstitions is pretty fucking funny. That any sane person could choose this as a desirable goal is awesomely hilarious. I interpret the part of the bible that reads "Lo, I am with you" as a clear message to all pilots that you're on your own above 500' AGL. The bible is subject to many interpretations, all of which are dependent on the reader's preconcieved biases. Biblical passages have been used to support slavery, segregation, denial of women's rights, and murder of the un-believers, among other things. It is very creepy what the "true believers" do, or want to do, on the basis of an ancient book of superstitions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LyraM45 0 #39 June 30, 2010 Quotewww.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65R4RA20100628 This is pretty cut and dry IMO. My school and any other school with friends I know went to would have done the same thing. I went through this a little when I started the skydiving club at my school. It couldn't be limited to just people who skydive. We welcomed wuffo enthusiasts who loved the idea of it but honestly would never jump out of an airplane in their entire lives. If I said "no...club only open to people who at least want to make one jump," then I wouldn't have been sanctioned as the Florida Tech Skydiving Club with the school's stamp/endorsement and funding that came with it. I could then still have a skydiving club on campus, but we would definitely not been entitled to any funding and the right to advertise ourselves as "The Florida Tech Skydiving Club." I went to a private school and technically they can do whatever they want, but state schools in particular have to be equal opportunity when it comes to clubs and funding. If these kids want to have an exclusive club on campus, then go ahead, but I just don't think they should be entitled to funding if that is the road they want to take.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't Romans 3:23 say ""For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" If the club discriminated based on living by the Bible, nobody could join, since the Bible itself says all are sinners.

jakee 1,500 #41 July 1, 2010 QuoteIf the court is going to force One fund recieving organisation into accepting people that do not fit their agenda, then ALL groups that recieve funds ahould have to follow suit! The court isn't forcing the Christian group to do anything. The court has simply decided not to force the university to give them money unless the group conforms with their rules. And, generally speaking, yes - any university club is open to any student. You don't need to be good at debating to get into the debating club (at my Uni it was one of the biggest clubs there was). One of the main purposes of these clubs and societies is to get new people interested in whatever it is your club is about.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
