    My point being after you were asked to stop you had to get one more dig in. 

    I wasn't asked to stop.    Everyone was asked if they agreed with a ceasefire between me and MotownBummers and I accepted the offer and gave the reasoning.   Bummers hasn't accepted it yet.

    I am hoping for a ceasefire agreement to have both sides, Bombers and Pfife, not post anything in this thread for 48 hours. All those in favor?

    I definitely agree to it, I'm strongly in favor of him posting less videos of people hating Israel and Jews and I'm willing to make that 48 hour sacrifice.

    Pfife is the real victim in all of this. 

    You've literally been spreading anti-Israel Jew-hate here for weeks on end.   Video of anti-Israel Jew-hate after video of anti-Israel Jew-hate.     Copy paste, copy pate.  

    Lashing out hysterically doesn't change that you did that.

  6. Being harder on college students than Israel is on actual Hamas is a pretty tough and also rad flex though, very serious 

    now I'll wait for a sweet gen x burn by the dude going on about pearl jam

    And yet you hang on my every post. 

    sweet implicit admission

    not that it wasn't already super obvious in like 14 other ways

    I would classify the college protests as your favorite phrase, virtue signaling. In fact, it would be the definition of said phrase.

    Exactly.  Like the first drake meme said.  Y'all been virtue signalling about virtue signalling while pretending you're not virtue signalling. 

  9. Of course, This thread is replete with YOU spreading their anti-Israel Jew hatred.  You literally copied and pasted those links to those videos over and over and over again.   You're like the threads Rupar. 

  10. So in the actual war we have actual Israel negotiating with actual Hamas...

    and simultaneously you guys think universities shouldn't negotiate with their students.  

    LOL it's as if you didn't actually care about the war in the first place and were just virtue signaling

  11. Margaret Brennan on CBS Face the Nation had Kristi Noem on and she was pretty bad as well, even though her chances are super slim now.  She apparently initially wrote in her book that she had met with Kim Jong Un and apparently per her repeated statement (paraphrase) "When the anecdote was brought to my attention, I requested it be removed because it was inappropriate"

    All of which she just plainly read as factual when she cut the audio book read

    How does one not have attention to the anecdotes in one's own book?

    I also used the handy search tool and found the word “rad” has been used a total of 13 times in site history.  Every occurrence was by you @pfife .   

    I’m still a fan of GenX slang but rad is a bit dated and my kid would call it out as cringe.  Maybe take a chill pill on rad and try to mix in a bitchin, gnarly,  tubular, or even a bodacious.   All are phat options.  

    Never a bad idea to keep things fresh as you never know when some moron is going to go back into the search feature and call you out for some bs from years ago. 

    Peace Out!

    Deuces bro!

  13. And also what happened in the last three days that caused Hamas to go from not calling the shots:

     

    To holding court across the entire region?

     

  14. They don't attack republicans.... says the guy who blamed Parkland survivors and not Republicans for weakened gun laws and also abortion bans.

    Where college negotiations ended campus protest chaos

    Zoom in: The agreements that pushed protesters to take down their tents share key traits. They avoid sweeping and immediate changes to university investments in favor of scholarships and expanded academic programs.

    1. None of the four schools agreed to divest from companies that do business in Israel or aid the country's war effort, a key demand at schools across the country. All agreed to less concrete concessions around their endowments.

    • Northwestern promised additional transparency. Brown's board will hold a vote on a divestment proposal in the fall. Rutgers said it would review protester demands. Minnesota protesters will address the school's board.

    2. Two of the agreements  Northwestern and Rutgers — include scholarships or aid for Palestinian students. They also promise to provide improved space for Muslim students.

    • Rutgers said it would expand an existing relationship with a university in the West Bank.
    • Minnesota told protesters it could explore an affiliation with a Palestinian university.

    3. The agreements provide some level of amnesty for students involved in encampments.

    • Brown and Rutgers said they wouldn't retaliate against protesters. Both schools — in matching language — added that they'd still investigate reports of bias, harassment or discrimination.
    • Minnesota asked its police department not to arrest or charge anyone "based on the past few days."
    • Northwestern agreed to allow one tent to remain for student protesters to use if they comply with the agreement.

    The big picture: The Brown deal — where the school agreed to a vote, but not divestment itself — was a perfect compromise, said Frederick Lawrence, a lecturer at Georgetown and former president of Brandeis University.

    • "I think it's a perfectly appropriate thing for the university to be prepared to do," he said. "I don't think the university has made a commitment of a result one way or the other."
    • The compromise is a part of building trust between the administration and student groups, Lawrence said. "The truth is, the real work that makes a difference in moments like this typically [takes] place days, weeks and sometimes years ahead."

    State of play: The nationwide demonstrations, which in some cases have included breaching school buildings, have been met with police force, arrests, suspensions and threats of expulsion.

     
    • "Nobody can possibly think that bringing law enforcement in riot gear is a good outcome," Lawrence said.
    • "Even people who can think it was necessary aren't going to think it was good. So avoiding things like this in the future has got to be a goal that everybody shares."

    Reality check: Protesters at different schools have different demands. Students and administrators have to be willing to meet somewhere in the middle.

    • The president of Columbia University, which has become the epicenter of the nationwide protests, said earlier this week that the Ivy League school "will not divest from Israel" after negotiations with student protesters stalled.

    Between the lines: A spokesperson for Brown told Axios that divestment may not be as simple as students think, saying that the university doesn't invest directly in stocks but instead relies on "external specialist investment managers."

    • Charlie Eaton, a sociology professor at the University of California, Merced, who studies endowments, told Axios that "it'll benefit universities in the long run to develop consensus among their campus community about what the values [are] and how do you apply them to your investments."
