Well most university academics are leftists
Why is that? Why are universities not bastions of conservatism?

I'll gladly spell it out for you.

Lets define conservative.

"Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change. "

Ahhh yes, basically... lets maintain the status quo. Change is bad. For a conservative there is no reason to get an education. After all, all the answers and lessons in life are to be found in the past. Change bad, stasis good. Dont question, just accept.

And again with your buzzword of the week, "leftist". Everyone not to the right is on the left... right Buffy? You are either conservative, or a liberal? Right? Please explain it to me.

and many of them have degrees in abject tripe like Sociology
I am guessing that is aimed at me. I would be amazed if you knew what sociology was. Regardless, I have two undergrad degrees. One in physical anthropology and one in *gasp* sociology. Compare and contrast. That should be a hoot.

Quote:
The study of human social behavior, especially the study of the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society.
Analysis of a social institution or societal segment as a self-contained entity or in relation to society as a whole.
Completely unworthy of study right Buffy? You gotta wonder about a guy who attempts to denigrate another individual for getting an education. It is obvious that Buff is no fan of education. Books bad. Tv good.

1. Noam Chomsky:
This. This is the icing on the cake.

Buff, mental giant, destroyed the man that is considered to be the worlds leading giant in the field of linguistics, MIT professor, and one of the leading political dissidents of the 20th century. Author of I dont know how many critically acclaimed books. A man that spends his life eating other Phds for lunch, got his ass whomped in an email debate with Buff.

You are fucking delusional. Just because you emailed Chomsky's office and called him a leftist douchebag, does not constitute an "owning".

3. My father: He thinks that people like you might still exist if we didn't subsidize the breeding of the masses via the welfare state. I proved that idiots like you would never be born were it not for the federal government's ability to distort incentive structures on such a massive scale, because your retard parents wouldn't be able to afford to feed themselves, much less live long enough to fuck and reproduce.
Perfect example of what I was explaining to Sarettah. Utterly void of substance, groundless, and baseless. I dont even know where to start on this one. Let me see if I got this straight. You believe that the welfare system breeds liberalism? Could you flesh this one out a little more for me? I bet the logic behind it is stunning.
