Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine
- Thread starter yaliu07
- Start date
Man, yaliu can't catch a break. It reminds me of what happened to Chelsea Clinton when she was a teenager. I should start making t-shirts that say "Leave Yaliu Alone".
On another note, PatStar could learn a thing or two from this guy:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/06/us/a-veteran-works-to-break-the-broken-hero-stereotype.html

I don't read Chinese but I do read Bully and I know a pot-stirrer when I see one. To understand any person's comments, you must first have a grasp of their character displayed here over a period of time. Thank you for your concern but this isn't my first day here nor his. I stand by my post. We will have to agree to disagree.
(P.S. I hope you didn't think I am referring to you. I was referring to the other member.)

Sorry... fixed it.The California Court Company said:
People like Pat Star should be more pissed about something like this than the Veterans Cemetery. Displaying the American flag is now hate speech? Interestingly, it's a Hispanic who wants it taken down. The Iranian guy opposes it.
UC Irvine Students Vote To Remove American Flag From Campus Lobby
March 6, 2015 10:23 AM
IRVINE ? Students at the University of California, Irvine, have voted for a more ?inclusive space? by banning the American flag on part of the school?s campus.
Under resolution R50-70 passed Thursday, the Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) voted to remove all flags ? including Old Glory ? from the main lobby on campus, according to the ASUCI website.
A portion of the resolution reads: ?(F)lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy.?
Authored by student Matthew Guevara, the resolution goes on to state that since ?the American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism?, its display ?does not express only selective aspects of its symbolism but the entire spectrum of its interpretation.?
After citing freedom of speech as a ?valued right that ASUCI supports,? the resolution states that ?freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible can be interpreted as hate speech.?
The resolution concludes with the following: ?Let it be resolved that ASUCI make every effort to make the Associated Students main lobby space as inclusive as possible. Let it further be resolved that no flag, of any nation, may be hanged on the walls of the Associate Student main lobby space.?
A final tally ended in six votes in favor of the resolution, four opposed, and two abstaining.
In a message posted on the group?s Facebook page Thursday evening, ASUCI President Reza Zomorrodian voiced his opposition to the resolution and said officials have yet to decide on a course of action regarding the vote.
?I stand firmly against this piece of legislation, though I understand the authors intent and supporters intent, I disagree with the solution [the ASUCI Legislative Council] has come to,? Zomorrodian said.
It wasn?t immediately clear when a final decision would be made.

WTF at UCI. look at what happens when they have too many international students. I won't be surprised if the following occur at UCI
1. ISIS attack
2. erection of Chairman Mao's statue, or raise of the China 5 star flag
3. change the school mascot from that meager anteater to dragon

they arent saying no flags on campus, just no flags in the lobby in an effort to create a true open space. the intent might be good but the problem is that you are always bound to alienate someone
imagine someone crying about the tile floor and how the quarries that produced the tile were in their home towns and destroyed their homes and hence, they want it removed.

Ahh, this UCI resolution takes me back to my own college days....then as now, advocating crazy shit, speaking in gibberish, wearing Malcom X/Che/Mumia t-shirt, etc. was just a pathetic way of trying to get laid. To misguided UCI students: give it up, didn't work then and won't work now.
