He is and that video sealed it for me. I’m sorry, but Donahue actually succeeded at quieting him on his own show. The fact that O’reilly even tried to get overly loud because his nephew (not his son) is in the military shows how much of a sideshow his news is. But then, he simply gives people someone to dislike so it stands to reason he will be on the air for at least a few more seasons.

yeah, hes obnoxious. And its pretty sad when phil donahue owns you on your own show. Oreilly’s a true “patriot” you know so his air time shall continue because of it, no matter how pathetic he is.
Ok granted what Bill said is probably out of line. Still Are you trying to tell me that nobody think the way San fran banned recruiters from entering colleges and high schools just doen’t seem right? Yeah I understand the people voted and all. I have this uneasy feeling about the way it went down…like its just not right. Maybe its because I put ass on the line two months after sept 11 in Afghanistan so it feel like i’m getting the finger from San Fran? so is there anyone who didn’t serve in the military feel the same way I do???

His is not news. His is opinion. There is a difference.

I think the public has a right to decide whether they want recruiters for the military in schools. My only question is what type of future career development do they actually push in that school district. I can completely understand them attempting to get more kids to go to college. This is a free country.
I hope you aren’t implying that all schools should be forced to accept military recruitment. It isn’t like it is difficult to apply for the military. Whether you get accepted is a different matter. I also seriously doubt that there are no military recruitment offices in that entire city.
If someone wants to get into the military, they still can. I personally would rather a kid understand ALL options available to them assuming guidance from responsible parents. However, we both know that all kids don’t have this type of guidance so they are very susceptible to whatever “guidance” they do get.

No i wasn’t implying that all schools be forced to accept military recruitment
I just find it disturbing that most of the professors in our universities seem to be very biased. I know the majority of the population of people from san fran have post graduate degrees.
I gather they would have the same mindset as their teachers for the most part, which is why i wasn’t suprised that the propostion passed but it was still disturbing and dissapointing nevertheless. I had a chance to join the military when i was in college but I waited till I was out. That being said, I don’t agree with the prop. If I wasn’t smart enough to know hey I’m not ready to join now…I know they student now should be…

But, that’s my point. I waited until after finishing my education before joining. I understand completely that my experience isn’t the same as someone who came in with no college education. I personally wouldn’t recommend someone come in that way unless they were just completely lost as far as direction in life or career goals…but that is simply my own opinion based on what I am trying to achieve. I always knew what I wanted to do. I just had to work to get there.
Realize that there are kids out there who didn’t have your insight growing up. They see no need for college even though this society proves that a higher education is necessary if you plan to live comfortably outside of pro sports or Hollywood. Because of them, I would rather these students get informed about a higher education before the military jumps in as an option. I like the fact that I have options available. I see nothing wrong with making sure those kids understand every option available to them.
