Temple University is located in a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess (to quote President Trump’s comments on another slum). I’ve been there multiple times, daylight only, and I know ghetto when I see it.

Don’t you know that it’s true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Ah, War, What Is It Good For! Great band! Although I wonder if they would have been as popular under their original name, War and Peace?

I liked that one song. "The Exterminator Kid, Was A Friend of Mine."

Oh that’s not scripted. Oh no. Those are her own words of supplication.

The problem is...they believe “hate speech” is different than “free speech”. It is not allowed.

Telling the truth is “hate”.

Telling lies is “tolerance”.

1984 is here.

Calling a spade a spade.

Are they only supposed to look on with admiration and say how wonderful it is? Communist countries treated people like that.

I was wondering when someone would get around to mentioning USC. The area around the campus is really bad and has been for some time.

I travel a lot for work - Philly is #1 for places I do not want to drive through. The areas around Temple and UPenn are bad Ghetto areas. Not safe at all. My Professional association had their Annual Meeting in Philly three years ago. The members said the meeting will never ever again be held in Philly...

“According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the video shows the student “in front of images of rowhouses, some with boarded-up windows” along with the caption “going to a city school and walking two blocks off campus for a party.””

You’re not supposed to ‘notice’, but if you notice you’re not allowed to ‘say’.

They probably threatened his education with some “code of conduct” charge because he correctly identified the area as a “ghetto.” I don’t know what they do now.

By definition, a State University coerces good money away from the neighborhood creating a ghetto.

Have the University Professors give the stolen money back to the students and post a public apology.

Oh good gravy, my parents used to live in East Falls and we’d take the R6 into Center City — one of the stops on the line was Temple. Even in 1989, Temple was a burned out pit.

I think the libs are beginning to get very self-conscious. “Don’t call it a ghetto! You racist!”

Took a summer film class at USC in the late 60s. It was surrounded by ghetto then, have no idea what it must be like now. Of course our apartment was broken into and stuff taken. We were poor students and didn’t have much to take.
