@Anonymous: It's something he allegedly did while a student at Cranbrook high school in Michigan.

A 5000 page editorial with uncited sources that could never be substantiated gets a front page article yet how Obama got into college or other issues about vetting his personal life get ignored.
Why the fuck is whether or not Mitt Romney cut some guys hair 50 years ago relevant to being President? The only people making this a "gay" issue is the article. Seems a little too well time, doesn't it? Obama comes out and supports gay couples, Washington Post releases an article trying to incite the idea Romney hates gays.
Who the fuck actually falls for this tripe?31 -

@Anonymous: I feel it's important to mention that the Washington Post story alleging that Romney cut a student's hair ( the student was not gay, but rather a 'nerd' who was made fun of as 'gay' the same way most people in middle and high school make fun of people) ... has been refuted and claimed as false by the supposed victim's only family (the supposed victim died in 2004).
In other words ... the entire WaPo article is a blatantly false hit job.21 -

@Anonymous: I should amend my post ... I said "not gay" when I mean to say "not known to be gay or straight" ... I'm really unsure of whether or not he turned out to be gay or straight later in life.
Unfortunately, canv.as doesn't have an edit feature ... so I'm simply appending. -

@Anonymous: The family didn't say it was false, they said he never told them about it and denounced the use of the story for a political agenda. Which doesn't mean it didn't happen.
And if it didn't, do you seriously think his response-- or any politician on the planet's response-- would be "I don't remember"? He'd just deny it.
Though frankly, I'd rather vote for someone who lied about not doing something like that than someone who genuinely forgot he did it. The former's just a normal politician, the latter sounds a little bit nuts.21 -

@Anonymous: Oh you mean the bill that was read and revised several times before it enough republicans would vote for it?

@Anonymous: Actually, it's the referee or president of the bout who declares a "Touche". Not the person hit. Imagine if fencers could decide how many valid hits their opponent could score?

Political parties are destroying this nation. Don't vote Obama just because you are a Democrat and don't vote Romney just because he is Republican.
Actually read the issues and vote for the one who supports your interests the most.
Calling either party "thugs" or anything else is stereotyping and generalizing a population. This is how racism is born.2 -

@Anonymous: The left has been being pushed forward by a vast homosexual agenda for decades now. If you can't see the forest through the trees I can only feel sorry for you.

Postmodern critical theory
While modernist critical theory (as described above) concerns itself with “forms of authority and injustice that accompanied the evolution of industrial and corporate capitalism as a political-economic system,” postmodern critical theory politicizes social problems “by situating them in historical and cultural contexts, to implicate themselves in the process of collecting and analyzing data, and to relativize their findings” (Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 52). Meaning itself is seen as unstable due to the rapid transformation in social structures and as a result the focus of research is centered on local manifestations rather than broad generalizations.
Postmodern critical research is also characterized by what is called, the crisis of representation, which rejects the idea that a researcher’s work is considered an “objective depiction of a stable other” (Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 53). Instead, in their research and writing, many postmodern scholars have adopted “alternatives that encourage reflection about the ‘politics and poetics’ of their work. In these accounts, the embodied, collaborative, dialogic, and improvisational aspects of qualitative research are clarified” (Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 53).
Often, the term "critical theory" is appropriated when an author (perhaps most notably Michel Foucault) works within sociological terms yet attacks the social or human sciences (thus attempting to remain "outside" those frames of enquiry). Jean Baudrillard has also been described as a critical theorist to the extent that he was an unconventional and critical sociologist; this appropriation is similarly casual, holding little or no relation to the Frankfurt School. -
@Anonymous: You got that from Vickers. "Work in Essex County", page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you going to plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that you thing, you come into a bar, you read some obscure passage, and then pretend, you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girl and embarrass my friend? You see, the sad thing about a guy like you is that in 50 years, you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped a 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have gotten for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.

@Esbon: That's great, but the text itself isn't the problem. Perhaps the man knew these things and the text was just the most efficient way for him to express them? How do WE know that you didn't just google what he wrote because you were trying to get a rise out of him? Did you read it?

@Anonymous: >vast homosexual agenda
I have a hard time reconciling that with the inconvenient idea that the gay community is 9% or less of the population, and the active members somewhat even less. You might as well claim there's a BMW driver agenda. -

@shenkerism: You think copying a block of text that rates a 7.5 on the Flesch Reading Ease test on a site where stickers is a valuable currency is an efficient way to communicate?
