Re: No on X - Santa Cruz utility tax hits poor people

OFF TOPIC NOW

My response to a nice attempt to justify


As long as i'm being "cute" I thought I would respond. I've heard plenty of criticism come out of the mouths of many a UC student, criticising one thing or another, so i think a little in return is fair play at the very least.

The difference of choosing a school and living in the U.S. is most people are not born into a school.

Again I've heard plenty of criticism from UC persons condemning those who support Bush.

UC students like to scream loudly about the things they don't care for, or people they don't agree with. I've been witness to many self reightous finger pointing aimed at others from UC students. So now a finger is pointing back.

"Economic Considerations?" Like I wan't to spend a lot of money to go to school so I will choose a UC? A CSU being the more affordable schools.

Drop out or sell out is that the question? Well when I've heard so much criticism about peoples choices from UC students it certainly begs the question.

"Following your logic, all U.S. citizens who protest the Iraq War while simultaneously benefiting from the protections of the Bush Administration’s foreign policy are raging hypocrites."

Did they choose to vote for Bush or some one else?
The difference here being choice.

Also interesting to note, is your endorsement of bush's policies. Do you really feel that US citizens are safer under Bush?

Who's logic is laughable? Following the logic I've seen here. It wouldn't be hypocritcal to CHOOSE an SUV, while opposing drilling in ANWAR. Or CHOOSING to join the KKK while being opposed to racism.Or, for that matter, vote for Bush,while opposing the war. While I would still support their choice to protest the war, I would find it hypocritical.

Gee you UC students seem awfully critical of others choices, and very defensive when you come under criticism yourself.

If I had not seen such criticism spouted by many a UC student I doubt that I would have been motivated to be so critical in my analysis.

Your cake and eat it too. People in glass houses. Living in an Ivory tower, and the like.
