Re: Nice Planet 2010
but I changed my mind. I would take a ZR1 and a black on black on black soft top 1970 Hemi Challenger, numbers. (or plum crazy purple with a hockey stripe, I'm not picky)
Ok...not bad.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
I'd go with a GT-R for a daily driver
and either a ZR1 or Viper ACR for funsies.
(Yes, I admit it, you've sold me on the ZR1. That thing is a frigging weapon in the right hands. When one of your test engineers is able to coax a 7:26 out of it at the Ring, you've got a monster on your hands. Probably too much car for me, though.)

Quality - I prefer the Hemi 'Cuda and 340 Darts though, or a Roadrunner. If I'm going outside of Mopar, an SC/Rambler or Rebel Machine. Wouldn't turn down most Fords or GMs though, they're just less my style.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
I just prefer the Challengers because the HemiCuda's have been way too prominent lately. Besides, a 'Cuda and a Challenger are essentially the same car, with different badging.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
I'm not big on religion-based arguments, but let me see if I have this straight: guy teaches classes in Catholicism at Illinois, says he's a Catholic, believes in the Church's teaching on homosexuality and explains those teachings to his students.
This is deemed "hate speech" and he's terminated. There better be more here than meets the eye, otherwise Illinois' gonna get porked in front of the world.

And I'm particularly impressed with this quote from the little rat bastiche tattle tale's complaint:
"Declaring that homosexual acts violate the natural laws of man is another."
". . .natural laws of man?" Moron.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
This is just the backlash from them not being allowed to diddle altar boys. That's right. The Priest was outsourcing.
Yeah... I went there.
First off, is that car for daily driving or driving into a war zone?
Second, how stylish in a hideous and ugly sort of way.
Third, it is compensating but most sports stars actually wait until they've parked the vehicle before shooting people or getting shot at.
And for the record, I'd rather have a '69 GTO Judge and probably something else.... or I might actually save it and buy a nice house?

Re: Nice Planet 2010
Would this be acceptable if it was a muslim teacher telling female students that they need to be wearing burqas?
Depends, did he also say he was a card carrying member of the KKK and that blacks were better off under a whip?

Re: Nice Planet 2010
The accurate analogy would be a Muslim instructor explaining Islam's position on Burqas, the history of the garment, and perhaps a little exigesis on the fact that many/most? Muslims eschew wearing it. That's far different from your equation.
But you have no track record of accuracy or fairness when it comes to religion, particularly Christianity. There's no evidence or even claim that the professor was evangelizing.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
How would that work out if there was a neo-nazi teaching a subject on the holocaust and telling a jewish student that they brought it on themselves by being subhuman apes sent to undermine the aryan race?
I was responding to your analogy not what they did. There's only one line that says what the teacher sent to the student and and equally small one for what he was fired for. Neither of which are good to base any action on. But the teacher openly tells his students and reporters that he believes what he teaches.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
He "openly" tells his students/reporters that he believes what he teaches? This is evidently sufficient for the pecksniffs at Illinois and you to terminate his employment. So much for academic freedom.
And your hypothetical about a gay neo nazi teaching a course on the holocaust while playing Tevya in a local production of "Fiddler" is from wingnut country and doesn't require a response. For the second time I'll explain it to you: the professor wasn't evangelizing, the neo nazi would be. And how easily you wind up finding equivalency between your gay neo nazi thespian and the professor.
Illinois used to have a professor of the classics named (I am not making this up) Revilo P. Oliver (note: Revilo is Oliver spelled backwards). This guy put the looney in looneytune. He was also a member of the John Birch Society and wrote an article that appeared in the JBS magazine called "Marksmanship in Dallas," about JFK's assassination and how it was brought on because Kennedy was falling behind Moscow's time table for taking over the country. Dr. Oliver was tenured and despite a firestorm of criticsim on campus, he retained his position.
But we need to fire a Catholic instructor who believes in what his church teaches and tries to explain those teachings to his students--absent any evidence that he was evangelizing.

Re: Nice Planet 2010
Am I going to be graded on his beliefs?
In either case its nowhere near comparable and you know it. You can believe anything you want as long as you are fair to the arguments being made and grade based on the strength of reason in answering the question.
Of course, if he didn't do as much, he certainly wouldn't be the first professor in America to grade in a biased fashion to his/her own political whims.
edit: are you going to seriously argue that a tenet believing Catholic cannot teach Catholicism in a course context. Are we going to stop the Sharia-supporting profs from teaching about Islam?
edit #2: didn't read all the replies... I guess so. Which political litmus tests aren't allowed, Foxton?
---
By the way... There is a professor at Illinois-Chicago who once advocated the murder of millions of Americans and arguable participated in the murders of other Americans.
Are we cool with him?

Re: Nice Planet 2010
If the teacher feels the need to make sure his students know that he personally believes what he's teaching, he probably should be expecting that eventually someone might take a comment seriously.
Are you seriously... oh wait looked at who was posting.
