Gays in fraternites (pt. 2)

Not to make this discussion about race but it has become about minority group status. What these posters are typing has gone way beyond fraternity membership and homosexuals as a minority (in power and status) group. To discuss entitlement and welfare is obviously not about homosexuals.

Surprise, surprise. We got where I figured we were going all along. Ask what I think is wrong with today's society, I give you my honest answer (which wasn't intended to offend anyone, the problems are widespread across all races), and then you get offended and self-righteous.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you People's Exhibit A.

And this is exactly why you're incapable of answering what I asked you all.

Me: Remind me of what American culture is.
What you all read: What's wrong with America?

You all have an axe to grind which makes it impossible to have a real discussion. No one is offended or self-righteous. You're just doing exactly what I expected from you all.

I found that to be especially true for the extremely privileged white youth that I have taught.

You live in a capitalist society sweetheart, you ARE entitled to anything you can afford to buy.

Please, at some point........get the hell over yourself.

Specific groups in this country have carried themselves in a way where they go through life looking for things to be offended by and then demand that they be compensated for and apologized to for something that was never intended to be offensive. Because of that people are scared to speak their minds and go about biting their tongues, further worsening our country because no one has the balls to point out the obvious problems.

Is this what this country's culture is or are you all operating from a limited understanding of what culture entails?

I'm asking what this country's culture is. What is the culture that people are trying so hard to salvage? Obviously the concept of culture is more complex than some of you assumed that it is because getting this question answered is like pulling teeth.

What culture entails could fill a 50,000 page book. He pointed out the relevant parts. Try adding something to the discussion for once.

Actually, no. What culture entails is a paragraph.

He didn't touch the relevant parts but rather expressed his opinion of something unrelated.

Don't be sensitive. Discuss American culture and get over me.

It was perfectly relevant. He described how the current conditions in our culture are fostering moral decay.

And you inserted yourself. The three of you are probably cronies if not the same person, anyway.

So this country's culture = ????????

This isn't an "add religion and stir" question.

You basically came in and said we're priviledged, we're white, therefore we're wrong. The end.
What a useless teacher you must have been.

I didn't say anything about you. I was talking about some of my former students, whose sense of entitlement was off the charts. Really, I was agreeing with you.
