First day in philosophy and my professor already mentioned Abramoff!

[LiberalVoice]

And not in a positive light! He'd asked if anyone in our class had heard of him. I ofcourse raised my hand(along with one other student).

He even went so far as to mention that everyone should pay attention in the coming weeks to who Abramoff is shown to be in league with :) I think he and I will get along just fine

1. One other student !?!? Good thing the prof is mentioning him. eom

[tridim]

3. Yep, that's really pathetic

Where is your school located?

Damn Liberal professors, mentioning the important news of the day and all. :eyes:

10. that's Pitt for ya

I'm assuming by the steelers logo they are from Pa.

My husband did a public relations class on journalism (he's Navy) he asked for a show off hand of how many people had heard of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. Barley 4 of the 30 something students (from Unvi. of Pitt mind you) raised their hands. This was a class for current events! Current freaking events!

2. Why would a philosophy professor mention it?

Especially so early in the class.

This just gives ammo to the idiot College Republicans, who will go and post on their blogs and how liberal the campuses are and how they are so persecuted.

Of course, personally, I think that if they really have a problem with the levels of liberalism on college campuses, they should wait on college and instead go enlist to fight in the war they support so fiercely.

6. ethics nt

Don't tell David Horowitz, or that prof could become a target

And your whole class would have to buy pies.

4. Sounds good

:) I think this whole Abramoff case is going to be so huge. I can't wait to watch the action. I've got plenty of popcorn and soda lined up.

5. Heh.

Always nice to know there's at least one class where you can have a good discussion, isn't it? :applause:

7. Corruption 101 is going to be telecast for the next six months

As all the tentacles of the Abramhoff monster are uncurled.

Something to remember and repeat: taking money from one of Abramhoff's clients is not the same thing as taking money from him.

His clients are entitled to lobby on their own as well as through him.

No dems got any money from Abramhoff, as has been mentioned repeatedly here.

8. Sounds like a good prof to me eom

11. My dad taught logic and ethics before he retired

He said he always loved having the conservative engineering students try to argue for their positions, and he would guide them along, encouraging them to lay it out logically, and would point out all their logical fallacies.

He was also one of the most popular professors, too - his classes always filled up.
