#1 Let me guess. Attran is of Palo extraction?

#2 No, he's a dipshit.

#3 Doesn't matter; since he is from the University of Michigan, that pretty well sums it up. The U of M is the closest thing (IMHO) East of the Mississippi and West of the Appalachians to Berkley there is.

#7 The overwhelming majority of Pals. killed during the Intifadas were killed by other Pals, not the IDF or Israeli police.

#8 Americans really really should consider stopping the funding of universities via extortion.

Let students pay for a course in blackbereaveddisabledlesbiandwarf studies, and stop enslaving taxpayers.

#9 And now, Dr Scott's advice for dealing with toddlers:

Do not be afraid to give in, every single time, when your child throws a temper tantrum. This validates the child and makes him or her feel important.

Dare to not impose consequences for bad behavior. They'll eventually figure out that throwing things at other people is "not nice". Sure, other diners may not appreciate having cutlery thrown at them during their meals, especially sharp steak knives, but it's a small price to pay to ensure your child's developing self-esteem is not damaged during these critical years.

This advice may seem counterintuitive to those who have raised children in the past, but remember, I'm a professor of psychology and know more than you do.

#10 Professors of Psychology - Is there anything they don't know?

#11 said that Hamas had the capacity and the international profile to promote peace in the region.



He said that the Hamas government would never accept Quartet proposals regarding recognition of Israel. It (Hamas) will also not renounce violence, as no modern national liberation movement ever renounced the right to armed struggle under military occupation of a foreign power, he said.

Either these statements are inconsistent or Mr. Attran is stating that Hamas will bring peace by destroying Israel.

#12 DoDo:

You're correct...see previous comments about Dr. Scott Attran, Univ. of Michigan and Prof. of Psychology.

#14 Well, the Wall Israel has built and is continuing to build again shows what a great idea it was.

Let Hamas escalate and let Israeli artillery continue thumping.

I'm curious as to how Israel will respond to rocket attacks from the West Bank and how other governments will try and tie their hands in terms of responding to suck an attack.

#15 He said that the popularity graph of Hamas had increased over the years

All the Popular Fronts and Popular Brigades and Popular XXXXXX Jihad Sections call goose on this. We sit in the cool section now.

#16 “These attacks are not for personal gains but symbolise sacred values,”
If these are their sacred values, crush them.

#17 We all know that decades ago, leftist lunacy became commonplace in Universities nationwide. In Grad School I had two professors who I can only describe as anti-american marxist clowns. I don't really know what the answer is, but I do know that radicalist leftist dogma in schools is doing inestimable damage to America.

In my case, the answer was to vehemently oppose and debate their BS whenever I had the chance. Of course it didn't change their minds (no 'mind' to change) but it was therapeutic. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the student body either agreed like mindless lemmings, or were too cowardly to speak up.

Were it not for the Universities, and the brainwashed socialists they produce, the Dems wouldn't have a pot to piss in.

#18 depends on your school/interest. My engineering (BS and MS) professors never talked about politics at all

#19 Mine either, Frank, but I did have to take some "humanities" electives including one with a very Marxist sociology professor. I must admit that I never argued with him -- I judged him to be too stupid for rational discourse.

#20 In Michigan, univiersity students tend to self-segregate. U of M calls itself the "Harvard of the Midwest" so radicals and radical wannabes go to U of M. People who want to learn useful things go to MSU, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, etc. The fact that in the 60's, while Ann Arbor was the nexis of drug culture in Michigan, the drug of choice at Michigan State was beer pretty much sums up the situation.

#21 Crushing Hitler Hamas will isolate Israel and the United States in the international community and give birth to more SS Al Qaedas......
