Homeless ppl, feel bad for them? Options

[mouse_3k]

ok I am watching America's Most Wanted and there was this story about this gang tht would take homeless ppl and make them slaves, making them sell drugs 24/7 and if they thought the homeless ppl didnt work hard enough, they would kill them. they did this re-inactment about it and it showed this poor old homeless guy begging the gang for food and the gang thru chinese food at him and the homeless guy would eat the scraps. i get so sad when things like this happen to the homeless cause they are so harmless and real needy (not a bad thing). I feel sooo bad now after i saw tht re-inactment. I cant even go to DC cause there are homeless ppl and i just will feel so bad for them. I always bring like $10 when i do go to DC so i could get the homeless some food or something.

is there NE one else tht feel bad for the homeless? i hear alot of ppl hate them cause they think all homeless are drunkies and druggies and all..

Because it ensures that there is diversity in schools.

A homogenous school is a boring one.

And an overly diverse school is a politically correct and censored one, where it becomes VERY difficult for people to actually discuss ideas.

Brown is the most diverse of the Ivies. They have the strongest affirmative action program. Once, a student published an editorial in the school daily newspaper that was against slave reparations. So severla minority groups decided to steal many copies of hte paper and throw them into Providence Bay. In that case, having too much diversity hurt the school by silencing dissenting opinion.

The REAL goal of diversity is to bring a diversity of ideas to campus. Being a different race DOES NOT MEAN you have different ideas, or will contribute more to diversity. After all, what is a "black" opinion on the Fundamental Theroem of Calculus as opposed to a "white" opinion?

Because teh goal is to have many different ideas floating around, this goal is COMPLETELY destroyed by political correctness and campus speech codes -- which are lobbyied for mostly be affirmative action students, many of whom have a hard time tolerating other people disagreeing with them (the student at Brown who wrote the anti-slave reparations article was officially labelled a racist by many student organizations, even though very few sane people outside of Brown support slave reparations [and even if there were reparations, they would come out to less than $100 per person, as I have demonstrated mathematically in another thread]). You also have to remember that students admitted on affirmative action tend NOT to have as many intellectual experiences as their colleagues (if they did, they wouldn't need affirmative action).

Finally, going out of your way to create racial diversity creates a non-issue -- race -- which begins to take precedence over REAL issues and REAL discussion. This is the idea behind uniforms at high schools -- By having a uniform dress code, you actually PROMOTE diversity, because instead of focusing on clothes, people focus on ideas (I've attended a public high school w/ no dress code, and a private high school with a dress code -- I will say for a fact that I felt my private high school was more diverse and I felt more comfortable speaking out there).

Thus, affirmative action REDUCES the amount of different ideas circulating across a campus. It makes colleges more multicolored, but less diverse.
