Wow, i'm disappointed. Just to "protest" these people find a reason like this to protest? I thought protesting was to get your point across and speak for the majority, and this is the TOTAL OPPOSITE. This is totally un-acceptable. Where's the GOOD protestors when we need em? And if they do show up, I hope they're aggressive

Question for anybody near Berkley... Is tuition still free for residents? You will have to forgive me as it has been quite some time since I have been out that way.

These are the people and their future generations that turn our country into a third world country. Instead of defending it they will pull the blinds down and hope the world goes away.Pussies!

Berkeley reminds me of that town from the movie breaker breaker with Chuck Norris. Full of all kinds of crazies.

I believe the Marines are having trouble in Okinawa too. The people are up in arms over yet another rape of a 14 years Japanese girl. Though the Marine claims that all he did was steal a kiss!

But Berkley?

But then it is another "sexy" story!

Sir,
I find it very humorous that these idiots attempt stunts like this. Little do they know just how many WWII Vets settled in the California area after they came home from fighting for the rights of these vermin. They will never understand what it is to give for their country nor understand what it takes to be a marine in the first place. The only thing these people understand is very loose laws on drugs, homosexual sex, same sex marriage and the right to speak out against the government and military. What they will never realize is the cost that was paid in order for them to be able to do so. A very sad generation of people indeed.

It looks like Berkeley city council is caving in. I was hoping these anti-war hippie tree huggers have the back bone and the balls not to back down. Guess I had too much expectation from a bunch of socialists. If they could actually stand for what they believe in, we could have saved a few million dollars a year on federal ear marks.

Funny, when it comes to money, even the socialists will back down. Or maybe these socialists back down because of the money. Other people's money, it's like a drug to them.

Technically, no such thing as a female grunt.

Tuition may be free to some qualified residents.

The worst part is Liberals are devoid of reality, If American becomes a complete PC country, then its people wouldnt have so many things it takes for granted now.

I found the link to be amazing. I had no idea Berkeley students were so brainwashed and stupid. There must have been a time when it was known for academic excellence.

I'd rate it in the top 35 public/private universities in the world. They're not stupid.

They, instead, wallow in an academic utopia while comfortably residing in one of the most pleasant regions on this planet. It's been a VERY long time when any of our universities have been bastions of conservatism. It's not what you do in college-in anything.

Reality sucks...and it's sobering. Let them start paying taxes and sell things/ideas in the world. Baser instinct prevail there and provide longer and harder lessons.

We're at home for now. Loading mags and putting a zero on ol' painless. I saw this quote somewhere a while back that I feel sums it up.

"America is at that akward stage where it is too late to change things politically, but too early to start shootin"-unknown.
