Will you explain how a person can take a position that opposes conservatism on any one of these issues and still be a conservative? Because, as a conservative, I do not believe these ideals are mutually exclusive.
If you want me to respond, you're going to have to craft a much better question than that. The above is garbage.
Wow, what an @ss...I suspect you know there's quite a bit of space between co-ed dorms and flogging for showing an ankle. Posts like yours illustrate the danger of letting your mouth out to play while leaving your brain locked up at home.
Fixed that for you.
How childish.
A British writer (Anthony Burgess, I believe) once said that he knew liberals had lost any sense of perspective when a student accused him of being like Big Brother in 1984 because he didn't allow dope smoking in his seminar class. Libertarians have just about reached that point when they use the term Taliban so freely.
I know what he would like to do if he could get away with it.
If wanting to be left alone by controlling people like you and your liberal cousins makes me a libertarian, so be it!
Got it, you think that not having unmarried teenagers of the opposite sex living together in the same bedroom by choice is "Taliban-like."
Wow, you libertarians (like your liberal brethren) have a serious problem with projection!
Please explain how thinking that unmarried teenagers of the opposite sex should not share a bedroom by design makes one a liberal.
Better yet, explain why one day my belief that unmarried teenagers of the opposite sex should not share a bedroom by design makes me like the Taliban and then the next day makes me a liberal.
Geez, wagglebee. You sure no how to get into trouble around here! ;o) For the record, I must be hard core Taliban because there is no way in h*ll my daughters will ever be sharing a room with a boy unless they are married. Period. End of story.
Okay, I need to be more specific. There’s no way in h*ll ANY of my children will be rooming with the opposite sex. ;o)
Glad you cleared that up!
My college still has separate dorms for each gender, but it is private as well. I am glad they have fairly liberal visitation policies though in terms of hours. Some religious schools are insanely strict, only letting you visit the other dorm on the weekends etc.
We could visit every day after 3, but closing time was 11 except for Friday and Saturday.
That was reasonable. Students still had sex...in cars or at houses of people off campus. But, at least the school kept some standards in terms of it not being okay.
I remember being very shocked once though when I went into the bathroom in my floor (which girls weren’t supposed to use) and two what looked to be high school girls were changing in front of the mirror. That was odd for us, but I bet that goes on all the time at these co-ed ones.
I've never been a fan of in loco parentis, especially of adults. I would be a bit of a tightwad with money to places with these policies if I was dad, especially if I had a daughter.
