I've been censored

Yes, if you prove your an idiot in a academic setting, you get failed. If you break a window you get to pay for it for face legal charges. These are quite typical, and if you didn't fail idiots for being idiots, then idiots would continue to be idiots without ever even considering they may be an idiot. I'm rather bored, so I figured I'd see how many times I could fit that into a sentence, though it seems to have become a runon much like this one.

Exactly how does expressing his thoughts about the "lessons" he paid for, make him an idiot? What gives the instructor the right to take his money, and fail him because he didn't like what Dirk said about the quality of his lessons? He is paid to do the job and he is expected to do it right and craft his lessons with quality.

Controlling what Dirk can say or think about the quality of his lessons or product that he paid for is way out of line. Everybody wants to be a criminal mafia boss or dictator these days.

What rights are you referring to? Educational institutions are a business, and he is being paid to serve Dirk, and Dirk has to pay one way or another for his instructor's services. The school should refund Dirk's money if they can't perform their duties.
A person's basic rights do not cease to exist merely because they are employed. This instructor had every legal right to chastise his student for sending an obnoxious e-mail. Your suggestion that he be prosecuted is far closer to violating a person's free speech rights than he ever did, although it too falls well short of anything illegal. It's funny that you say your all for "free-speech" and then propose to legally punish those whose speech you don't agree with.

I thought I remembered you going into some long speech on your use of food stamps. Or maybe that was a different troll, you all look alike to me.

He said he was censored. Thats the issue here. If he only said that Dirk was inappropriate, then he should be disciplined because he is being paid to craft his lessons with a certain level of quality, and Dirk is paying him for those lessons. Dirk is in the right, its no different than complaining to his phone company or something.

So what should they do, let the Death panels roam the wild political landscape when reality is they're a load?
I went though the bill that I got directly from the .gov website. There is rationing on almost every page, you can't miss it. Medical facilities are REQUIRED to give periodic "end of life counseling" to certain patients, they will try to "sell" you the idea of committing suicide. The government lies, they spin the truth, they deceive the masses, to progress their agenda. Follow the money, big insurance companies are supporting the bill. Big corporations get too profit directly off of the tax money, and also the MANDATORY health insurance like they do with auto insurance. If you don't buy it yourself, your wages will be garnished. More power over people is seized by the government, people will no longer be able to get what they need when they need it do to heavy rationing and control. It is mind boggling how people become so mind numb and out of control that they support this crap.

Ok, so I'm going to school for my Associate's degree online. I had a question about a subject so I zipped an email over to my instructor. In the email I stated at one point "the whole thing makes no sense to me" and then I proposed a couple of scenarios written as questions and followed it up with "how ridiculous". I was promptly informed that content was inappropriate. Never mind it was my opinion and is protected by freedom of speech or that America was founded, fought, bought and paid for with the blood of my forefathers to protect the rights of an individual to express his or her opinions without recourse. I feel like Victor Navorski(Tom Hanks) in The Terminal: "I am......unacceptable" :laugh: It's going to be a long semester.
OMG what's the BFD?
No, this is People's Unitary of Uhmerikka! You don't express your opinions in Uhmerikka, you don't even have the right to exist in this country.

By annoying the professor, trust me, I know that one well. I had at least one trying to fail me. Even when your right it can be a bad idea. If you think something is screwy, you express your thoughts in a manner conducive to getting a real response. Question something, don't declare it's crap. And better yet, back up your points with solid facts. If I couldn't do that I would have failed that course. Despite not liking me, despite not wanting to agree with me, he couldn't prove me wrong, so he just dinged me on every little mistake I made to see if I could really hold it together well enough to make it through. Think of it this way, if I walked into your office, and you're suddenly professor of 9/11ology and declared you're full of crap and the collapse was entirely consistent with known physics and structures. I've seen what you generally consider arguing. Are you going to just nod and go along with your day, or are you going to take a closer look at this person's answers to ensure they actually have a clue at what you're teaching them?

Have you ever heard what happens when you assume? I will have no part in such things.

It was flag@whitehouse.gov. They also have databases for political descendants, its called the domestic terrorist database. There is also a no fly list, over a million Americans are on it, without there knowledge. If you get on any of these lists, you are on it for life.

Sorry, it just annoyed me. For a moment I thought he actually meant political decedents. Made it more interesting, then I realized where he was going with it and I was dissapointed.

No, it does not matter what the professor thinks, because he is being paid by Dirk. The professor does not have the right to have any authority. If he cannot serve Dirk then he must refund Dirk's payments. If he fails Dirk because he was offended by him, then he must refund Dirk. If he doesn't, that is criminal theft, and must be prosecuted.

Look up dissident A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution I don't know why you underlined "their". You get put in the list without trial, and without your notice. You are not told you are on the lists, but you will find out when you try to fly or buy a gun.

Do you realize that this completely undermines any assumptions involved in learning something? Reality, and most theories, aren't a take it or leave it kind of thing. I can't pick which parts of electro-magnetics I want to believe and still expect to pass physics. Only paying when they tell you what you want to hear is a pretty quick way to flush any bit of valuable knowledge down the can.

Check your original post, you'll understand why I underlined them. Neither appeared there when I quoted it.

He wasn't trying to teach him anything. He was acting like Dirk is at the mercy of his powerful professor of fact and truth. :rolleyes:

He says he was "censored" by having his instructor call an inappropriate e-mail inappropriate. How horrible! :laugh:

I noticed a shift from "prosecuted" to "disciplined". Government prosecution and internal discipline by an employer are two very different things. Are you admitting you were wrong in requesting the former, or were you just hoping no one would notice the change?

So what's the practical result of being "censored"? Or did you mean "censured" (ala Joe Wilson)? Do you get ten points taken off your grade? Does the professor go into your student record and take away your birthday?
My other signature is witty and insightful.

Saying BS and then making up an excuse not to discuss further indicates that you just don't want to believe that its bad; that you just take Obama's & abc's deceptive words rather than finding out the truth.
