It's literally sophomoric. I blame the misguided notion that every kid should go to college. Most of them don't have the intelligence to profit from further education and just spend their years there cranking out drivel like this when they could be performing constructive tasks like picking lettuce or cleaning office buildings and solve our illegal alien problem to boot.
Googled the "artist," Johnny Correa. First citation, from the university newspaper, from an article titled and subtitled "Alliance asks University for new minor. Queer and sexuality studies programs, established nationwide at other universities, generate interest among UO students":
"Johnny Correa, a member of the LGBTQA, said he is one of many who would be interested in minoring in queer studies.
“I’d be very excited ... I think stuff on queer theory would be really interesting, looking at some of the cultural things that arise out of queer community, looking at race and class in the queer community.”
While it may seem that the women and gender studies department would encompass the content of a queer studies minor, Correa said that because the two subjects are very different it doesn’t make sense to lump them together.
He said examining an overarching view of queer life, including literature and experiences, would fit in well with the University’s curriculum and although some classes are available, there’s no comprehensive program.
“My minor now is women and gender studies, and that’s the closest I thing can get to queer theory ... but still, that’s a certain perspective,” Correa said.
He added that many students could appreciate and benefit from a sexualities minor.
“People really want it, and we actually made a list on the wall of the classes we wanted to see,” he said. “We filled four or five giant parchments of paper.”
Great....
Whenever I come across walking freakshows like this, I do my darndest to contact them, usually by email, and tell them I am praying for them. They get hysterical, telling me they don't the prayers from "my God." I just keep writing back that, I understand, I understand...but I must keep praying for your soul--it's what the Lord would want."
Oregon, IMHO, is a sick state! Besides the scenery, I haven't found anything in Oregon to like.
I agree with you. We should be outraged and that outrage should be made known. Not in rioting, but as we American's can do best.. in the wallet. We should make it a mission to let the outrage at an attack to our beliefs this horrific be known and pull kids out of that school and the rest of the list of ways to financiall crush them.
OMG I would hate to be the artist who dared to do that to Jesus. I'm sure God is gonna have a talk with him one day.
I agree. This takes real maturity and intellect. Not surprising from an Oregonian. These juvenile types are rampant here.
Given jihadist insecurities, I recommend Mohammed be drawn extremely underendowed with a microscope on top to accent the issue. Probably the reason why he liked raping 9 year old girls.
But people should have the character and good taste NOT to post cartoons that will offend the members of a particular religion.
To be perfectly honest I am nore pissed that a paper calling itself the Insurgent is allowed to even exist on an American college campus. here we are at war in Iraq with good men dying and these pieces of dog crap are defending the insurgents who are kiling our soldiers.
I would not riot over a cartoon of Jesus, These idiots will have to deal with Jesus when they face their Maker on judgement day, However I would gladly burn their stinking office when these traitors defend terrorists.
Why does this bother you so much? No one's being hurt by it. The whole purpose of it is to get a reaction. If you get mad, that means it had the desired effect on you.
No, this is what passes for "original thinking" among the pseudo-intellectual fraudocracy that clogs the academy these days.
True.
Just look at who liberals support and you will know how you should react to this.
Maybe somebody should inform this deviant that Christ would offer him every possible opportunity to repent, while Muhammad would decapitate him.
No, see, the Mohammed cartoons were funny. These things are just ugly and stupid.
One minor note: I peeked at the WND link to the U of Oregon site and John Frohnmayer, the former NEA chair, is not the president at Oregon. His brother, David is. But it's amusing that they've now both had to deal with controversies about "transgressive" art. (Or is that transgressive "art"? Oh, well....)
Well one just assumes that MohamMAD is in heaven with a boner else what to do with 72 virgins?
I'm sure that my blood pressure was at max, then I read your calming post.
Thank you.
As I understand it Mohammed could not get erections unless it was with a fetal pig.
there...fixed that
Nah, but boy, that artist better watch out or he'll wake up to old Sister Thelma's green bean casserole in his bed. You don't piss off those Methodists and their potluck dinners, no sir.
Cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb for a turban drawn and Muslims riot = cartoonist was bad for blaspheming the Prophet and Muslims are just defending their faith.
Picture of Jesus Christ with an erection and kissing another man drawn and Christians grumble = cartoonist is good for defending freedom of expression and Christians are just being intolerant.
There. Did I get the liberal logic on that one about right?
