Are you suggesting that the school did not have a dress code prior to hippies?
Catholics, like Methodists are permitted to have opinions concerning all sorts of arguments. In regard to supporting BJU, I’m addressing your contentions, rather than taking a stance for or against BJU.
100% of illegal aliens have violated the laws of this country.
They commit way more crime and many are in prison.
I am not against climate change, it may very well be real. I am against punishing the US and develped countries while allowing undeveloped countries to continue to spew out more and more CO2
This is a great example as to why this forums failed. This has been a good thread but yet it is being closed just because the moderator want it closed. No reason just because. I hope I can find a catholic forum where the standards are objective and not subjective as they were here on CAF.
Early closure is a function of the number of flags a thread gains.
Is queer now the same thing as being a Marxist - a trained one at that? You say that I have no idea what I am talking about, but I think that I know all too well what I am talking about. I read a lot about conservative American politics, and I can see only too clearly that the ideology represented by many posters on CAF is part of a culture of conservativism that began to gain traction in top-level US politics with the Goldwater campaign of 1964 and went fully mainstream with Reagan’s victory in 1980. Thanks in large part to the internet, this mainstream conservatism became infiltrated by more fringe movements such as the Tea Party, the Minutemen, and the Oath Keepers, culminating in the Donald Trump. Such conservative movements in America have historically been inextricably connected with conservative Protestantism, but more recently, they have attracted conservative Catholics, especially traditionalists.
Nelson Mandela was a member of the South African Communist Party as a relatively young man some 30 years or more before he became president of South Africa. By the time he became president, he had renounced communism. In any case, communism in Africa has a very different history to communism in Europe. To a large extent, African communism was part of the independence movement. It was also somewhat transactional and opportunistic, as the USSR was only too happy to pour its influence and resources into such countries.
You seem to think that I am actually arguing in favour of communism. On the contrary, all I am saying is that being anti-communist doesn’t have to lead to supporting Donald Trump or even supporting the Republican Party. In my own country, the UK, our most socialist government ever, the Attlee government of 1945-51, and specifically our foreign secretary Ernest Bevin, played a crucial role in both the creation of NATO and Britain acquiring an independent nuclear deterrent.
I am not sure why you are making this into such a big issue. From what I have observed of your posting history, you seem to enjoy being argumentative.
I am really not very left-wing. I suppose I was technically a socialist insofar as I occasionally voted for a party whose constitution formerly included a commitment to common ownership, but since the revision of Clause IV, there is no real socialist party in the UK anyway. I would say that I am a centrist.
Is that so? I don’t know enough about US law. In the UK, it is not necessarily illegal to enter the country in a manner that would normally be regarded as unlawful. If you wish to seek asylum, you are entitled to enter the UK by whatever means possible provided you present yourself to the authorities at the earliest possible opportunity to request asylum. If you manage to get into the UK in a dinghy, in the hold of a plane, in a lorry, etc, and immediately flag down a police officer or similar to request asylum, you will not be charged with a crime. I would be surprised if the US did not have a similar system.
I do not have an exhaustive knowledge of the history of dress codes at BJU. I was merely providing a further example, an analogy. It was not intended to be something to be picked over as if we were undergoing a cross-examination in court. I am not really sure what your agenda is, but I am sure that you have one.
I was looking for clarification, regarding your knowledge of the issue you raised, and you have provided it with this post. Thank you.
I 100% support immigration. My grandmother in fact was an immigrant.

That’s not how you spell ad hominem and that’s not even what it means. It is not ad hominem to point out that you have a particularly snarky, abrasive tone, since one of the problems I have with CAF is the snarky, abrasive tone that is adopted by so many people on here.
