Quote:North Dakota officials have said the school had support from the Spirit Lake tribe to use the nickname. But former tribal chairman Skip Longie said that authorization, granted to the university in 2000, came with a string of conditions, including required sensitivity courses for all incoming freshman and visits to all of North Dakota's Indian reservations.
"To my understanding, I don't think the university has done any of those things," Longie said.
In other news, Bono and Sinead O'Connor were disappointed that Notre Dame hasn't lived up to their promise of forcing their freshmen to take sensitivity training and visits to all of the Ireland's pubs.
"To me understandin', none of the children have been properly introduced to drinking a pint of Dublin's finest and gettin' into a row with some drunk football-lovin' blokes," Bono lamented. "How can they call themselves the Fightin' Irish? Wankers."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is a total disregard for the things St. Patrick's Day stand for. All this drinking, violence, destruction of property. Are these the things we think of when we think of the Irish? "

I don't get it.
Typical neo-con diversionary tactics. Re-direct thought towards an unrelated sentiment in order to muddy the waters - ie, gay marriage is more important than false pretenses for undertaking a war. Doesn't change the fact that someone didn't live up to their end of the bargain, and because of it shouldn't get their way.

Dan,
a. I'm not a "neo-con"
b. I support gay marriage, and have generally leaned anti-Iraq War
c. Try to obtain a sense of humor
But, all in all, thanks for the knee-jerk labelling and stereotyping. :wave:
(My apologies to other readers in that I had to bump this tripe to the top of the board)
