UC Berkeley Asking Incoming Students For DNA
peterofoz writes "The students will be asked to voluntarily submit a DNA sample. The cotton swabs will come with two bar code labels. One label will be put on the DNA sample and the other is kept for the students' own records. The confidential process is being overseen by Jasper Rine, a campus professor of Genetics and Development Biology, who says the test results will help students make decisions about their diet and lifestyle." No word in the story on just what "confidential" means — who will have access to the results, how long they'll be kept, or what else they might someday be used for. Will the notoriously liberal Berkeley campus see this as a service or an invasion of privacy?
But those things you mention are true. The truth has a noticeable liberal bias. Liberals think for themselves, yes, but when they see the truth, they ay what they see. So everyone is seeing the same thing? It doesn't mean they all have the same ideas, just that they have eyes.

So I'm not allowed to say that people who think for themselves actually think for themselves, or I am showing bias? I don't think your argument is quite as logical as you'd like to believe. What should I call them? "Folks who think for themselves and tend not to vote Republican?" How about that?

The tea party movement started as a campaign to mail tea bags to congress.
Now you're just being silly. The Tea Party movement was NOT started by Lipton to encourage people to buy and use up more tea bags. The Tea Party movement was started so people with certain political ideas could gather together and make their opinions known. Same as for any other political movement.
Your bit about Fox News, like they are the secret undercarriage of a 'Teabagger Movement' is just ridiculous.
I would never say that everyone who attends tea party rallies was racist, but there's some ugly stuff percolating in the movement.
The same could be said about any 'movement.' Those black panther dudes in the paramilitary outfits hefting clubs at the entry to the polling place. Clearly they were working on the behalf of Obama's being elected. Are they part of 'the movement' and should their actions be allowed to discredit every person who advocated Obama's election?
>>>The tea party movement started as a campaign to mail tea bags to congress.
Provide a citation. I don't remember anything like that, so if you can't provide a citation then it never happened, and you're just inventing fiction.

>>>there's some ugly stuff percolating in the movement.
Is there? Here's a video of a DEMOCRAT rally where a black man was assaulted. His crime? Carrying a sign that said "I support school vouchers." If there's "ugly stuff" most of it is happening on the other side, not within the Tea Parties - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cz5msnOHP4

Your "liberal media" at work.
They say the devil's greatest trick was convincing people he doesn't exist. More like it was convincing people he's the savior.
