no offense but that’s a weird thing to say. you weren’t taking a moral stance when you chose UVA

@AmazingCicada: Bizarre take.

Actually I chose UVA even though I got a higher scholarship amount from Columbia because of how Columbia treated their students even before yesterday's event.

I'm not going to spend a single cent on an administration that decides to punish their own students for peacefully protesting.

@babybunny: It didn't seem weird at all to me.

i guess I just think you can and should support the protestors without making it about yourself and your righteous choice

I think a lot of this hate against Columbia is super unwarranted anyway.

If you want to engage in civil disobedience, which these protests are (they violate university rules and policies), then you have to accept the consequence. Not to equate the two situatinos, but Rosa Parks was a hero and was arrest-- she knew she was going to be arrested! It was her intent to draw attention to injustice. A lotttt of Ivy League kids with immense priviledge seem to think they are entitled to make a statement without facing any consequence, when in the past, civil rights leaders bravely chose to face the consequences to draw more attention to their cause.

Nowadays everybody wants to be a part of a movement it seems...without any understanding of what kind of self sacrifice it entails I guess

Anyways, I don't support the camping on campus anyway. It makes other students feel unsafe

every time one of these dumbasses comes on here and says you should expect to be punished for civil disobedience I die a little bit inside

You should anticipate being punished for breaking rules and laws, yes.
Yes, you probably need to push the envelope enough that it has consequences in order to draw attention and press coverage, doesn't mean you can't criticize arrests in defense of a policy you oppose

I mean if it is civil disobedience it depends on whether you agree with it. If you think the cause is just then the punishment is by definition unjust. The core of civil disobedience is that the punishment is unjust.

If you disagree with the cause then you just think they’re assholes breaking the law to inconvenience people
like set up a tent on some campus cool, but don't stop people from getting to work

Not just work. Blocking roads prevents people from getting to hospitals, from getting to parole hearings, from picking their child up from school... a lot of unintended consequences that can have seriously negative impacts
