Ok, ignorance is bliss, but what is ECU?

ztafairy · #17 04-10-2001, 02:07 PM

shadokat,

ECU stands for East Carolina University. It's in Greenville, North Carolina.

I know I'll be at the anti-Bush rally tomorrow. I'm so tired of all the hype over Dubya I could scream. But on the plus side, the weather that has taken over Grenville is SUPERB!!! Think I'll go fly a kite.

Thanks ztafairy

I think it would be interesting just to go hear what he had to say. After all, didn't he win North Carolina in the election?

Wow...and I thought I was just about the only greek on ECU's campus who wasn't hardcore Republican.

I don't plan on attending the anti-Bush rally because I don't think it's necessary but I won't be attending the actual event either. I do think it's great publicity for us to have the president speaking at our school (even if it's not a president I'm particularly proud of). Hmm...on second thought, I'm glad people are protesting this because it's about time there was some political action on this campus. I just hope there's actually something of substance to be protesting.

I'm gonna rain on all the anti-Bush's party LOL But sorry to say I wont be at ECU. I am a BUSH SUPPORTER THOUGH. GO DUBYA! I second DeltAlum, BE SAFE. BUSH definitely picked a nice hot spot to make an appearance. Especially one of the biggest party schools in the nation. I think it was listed in Playboy if I'm not mistaken. I had a great time once on a road trip there with a few of my Brothers. We did Halloween and it was a blast where they block off all the streets. Our chapter closed there some time ago

But we had our fun with friends from there.

Great Memories.

Yes, another Bush supporter! And nothing wrong with a little fun at our Halloween either......maybe Jenna will come down, isn't she greek at Austin?

I hate to be a hater, but I think Dubya has sum pimp skillz... Not as much as the P-Funk All Stars Bill Clinton, though. But skillz nonetheless... Better skillz than Gore, I tell ya'. I'm just waitin' for the Bushocomixz to start tricklin'--that's all.

supposely all the weirdos are out in g-ville a girl that works at the ramada said that a man was arrested by the secret service there. I am definately anti-everything bush

Deja Vu...

This is like stepping back into the sixties.

Whether you're for or against...Be safe.

ElleDelta3, I go to Brown in Rhode Island. Brown is fairly liberal (okay, VERY liberal) and anti-Bush, and I think all 3 of the school's Republicans were holding a counter-protest. My school cracks me up.

AKAMonet, no one could ever top Slick Willie in the pimpin' skills, especially not some former cheerleader.

Best of luck with Dubya's visit.

ztafairy · #27 04-11-2001, 02:39 PM

I don't think that an anti-Bush rally is necessary, if you ask me, but it's their right to do so. I'm not totally anti-Bush but I don't like what the Republican party stands for. I think I'll stick with the liberal side of politics.

I think it's great publicity for Greenville to have a President come and speak. I hope he checks out the flood areas and gets us even more assistance than we've already received. That would be nice. There are already a ton of people lined up to hear him speak tonight. Too bad they'll be sitting for three hours on the hard bleachers of the Arena waiting for him to arrive. Ha, ha!

I saw about 4 kids with posters against Bush...a big rally huh?

By the way, no matter what you feel about him, he is OUR President and he deserves a little respect!
Greenville nevers gets any PR and this was all over NC news PLUS today he is visiting the flooded areas to see what has been done, so I think he's doing more than his fair share!

I hear ya! I used to go to ECU and I miss it sooooo much...ECU is a great school!!!! Go pirates purple and gold!!!!!

I am respectively disagreeing with my sis.
Being an american citizen doesn't mean you have to respect the President. And if you believe that he is a primative level of political puppetry than you can say so. Personally I did not attend the anti-bush rally... because I would rather pass my classes. But if I could have been there I would have. Bush is steadly decreasing our enviromental protect and his tax plan which is denouced by the leading economist in our nation is most likely to only increase inflation.
Ok I am off my liberal soap box.
