Liberty To Construct 19 New Athletic Fields on River Islands

[HkyMtneer]

In this context:

Since LU is a "potential SunBelt candidate," and the fact that there were no such threads before their name was in the conversation, that your agenda is create a positive public perception of LU with countless threads about their facilities ect.

It's the same thing some App/GaSo were accused of doing on CSNBBS before App and GaSo were added.

I've been posting articles, albeit sporadically, concerning Liberty on the MMB for 7 years...so get your facts straight. As for agendas, never had one, don't care to. I don't think Liberty needs my help.

My wife and I are Appalachian grads. My duaghter is completing her first year at Liberty.

Liberty is a private University with a published list of standards. If you don't agree with those standards, then you should not attend. And honestly, the dress code, the curfew, and the rules about PDA is quite ok with this dad. Their list of convocation speakers is easily recognizable by the outside world. Donald Trump, Kirk Cameron, Ben Stein, James Brown from CBS sports, Franklin Graham etc.

They (the Falwells) do have a political opinion and they do not hide from it. And I would expect a student who attends a Christian University to get a Christian education. If you don't know what you will get when you enroll, that one is on you.

With that said, Liberty is building and have some pretty nice athletic facilities. New baseball field, new track, expanding the basketball and volleyball facility. That alone makes them attractive to other conferences IMO.

Well said. It is pretty funny how "the scientific community" chastises private Christian institutions for teaching Creationism not evolution.

Well Hky starts a thread about Liberty every time Liberty twitches. Some people on here like myself don't give a rip about Falwell U, and take these opportunity to have some fun. If Liberty is the topic, some people are going to be defamatory. That's been the nature of the beast since the radical sect (Liberty) started expressing their views.

Why is that, because some people have no self control? Or some people have as little respect for Liberty's people as you claim Liberty has for others?

Eye for an eye and lets all stumble around blind. Makes perfect sense.

I hate to tell you this, but you seem just as far to the left as the "radical sect" is to the right, and the rest of us are just trying to walk along minding our own business in the middle without stepping in the BS.

[StumpyCulbreath]

I've got an idea for you, GO. Don't read the posts.

"Liberty pimping"...sorry I don't have a clue what that mean, after all, at 32 years of age I am a bit mature for street lingo. If it means, using context clues, that I am passing information along about a school in a neighboring state, whose student population is derived more wholly from NC than any other state outside of VA...many of which are the sons and daughters and friends of our neighbors, a school of growing influence in every collegiate avenue, a school with aspirations on par and even exceeding those of our own ASU in many regards, a school that very well might be a athletic conference brethren at some point in the future, near or far, then yes, I am "Liberty pimping".

What? You are 32 years old and too mature to understand the context of "pimping"? It's not street lingo and my 80 year old dad understands.

[StumpyCulbreath]

Let no one say that I am not fair-minded. When they are not openly discriminating against groups of people, leeching off the GI Bill, or dipping out their brand of Kool-Aid lower education, Liberty is busy building a paintball dynasty.

God, please save us from the Christians.

I wonder if we'd be having these conversations if Liberty was an Islamic university?

I always laugh when people make idiotic comments like this.

Those Muslims have it so great in this country. Everybody loves them and I'm sure the Sun Belt would go out of their way to accommodate an Islamic school. Nobody ever makes fun of Islam, they get a free pass. I don't know how you are able to pull yourself out of bed in the morning with all of the religious persecution you face in this country as a Christian.

Speaking of Christian persecution, I just ran across this interesting article:

Cue the Christian persecution complex and the totally bulls-- news sources.

The plight of the oppressed Christian in this country brings a tear to my eye. One day they will rise up and overcome. I mean for Gods sake, Bill Maher makes fun of them more then Muslims!!! The horror!

[WataugaMan]

Working in Washington, DC with a branch of the military, to date I've heard noting coming down the chain of command on this issue. The jury is still out. However, if it does happen to be true all religions should be included in the list, not just Christian. The article itself is vague and general (no pun intended) and I'm sure there is more to the story than what was presented.

Now as far as I'm concerned (since I've been ignorantly classified as a "Christian with a persecution complex", I think), as I stated previously I'm a "live and let live" kind of guy. I was raised a Lutheran, therefore, I guess I could be classified a Christian. Generally speaking I don't look down on Muslims, Hindu, etc. We all have our own personal relationship with God and I'm "cool" with that.

I understand there are those individuals that do think they have all the answers ("pharisees") and they do turn people off. They come from all religious and non-religious sects. And, yes Christian's have their fare share. The thing I try to instill to my sons is I understand why they can be turned off by the church (the pharisees), but by all means, I encourage them to keep their personal relationship with God going. By the way, as I understand Jesus didn't really care for the pharisees of his time either. As a matter of fact, I hear they (pharisees) had him hung on a cross because of his ("disagreements") with them. That is, I don't think The Lord cared for their hypocritical attitudes.

Hope this all makes sense, seems I keep going from one subject to another.

Seems kind of embarrassing to me that every twitch LU makes spawns a freak out session on the MMB.

Ive seen more talk on here about how wrong Liberty's views are, than I have EVER seen from Liberty fans trying to tell anyone else how to live. Hell, Liberty cant even build a ball field without being jumped on.

So much for live and let live.


btw, the folder's title is "Other Schools' Athletics," not "Other Schools' Religious Beliefs."

Well Hky starts a thread about Liberty every time Liberty twitches. Some people on here like myself don't give a rip about Falwell U, and take these opportunity to have some fun. If Liberty is the topic, some people are going to be defamatory. That's been the nature of the beast since the radical sect (Liberty) started expressing their views.

Allow me to apologize for "posting too often" about issues relating to athletics at Liberty. I did not realize that the 'other schools athletics' forum had a posting limit in regards to one particular school. Liberty is my other school of interest...that campus holds a special place in my heart, and the comings and going in Lynchburg will always be relevant to me. I realize that you, and many of the other members of what I would term the radical sect on the MMB may not have any interest in the actual details of what goes on at Liberty, as it pertains to athletics, construction, development, etc. That is certainly fine but some do, and we see those posts and I get a few messages here and there containing real conversation. Unfortunately, the actual topics usually get overwhelmed by the desire of some to be heard (I call that the "look at me, look at me" syndrome), folks who chime in when they have nothing to say about the actual topic at hand...you might know the type. I guess I was just raised differently. I was raised to stay out of discussions if you don't have anything on topic to contribute, rather than just talk for the sake of stirring up an argument, or to have someone to talk to, or to just plain be a donkey's butt. At the end of the day it's all cool though, gotta' get that post count up somehow!

Not challenging your freedom to post any particular topic. It just seems to me (and most people) that you're pimping Liberty. And a white, Protestant male playing the cultural victim card (not saying this is you) is going to stir up some snark no matter what the context...

If you can't handle negative feedback during you Liberty pimping, you shouldn't Liberty pimp. But by all means, continue.

"Liberty pimping"...sorry I don't have a clue what that mean, after all, at 32 years of age I am a bit mature for street lingo.

Maybe he is, but his documentary about ACORN was right on target; the one about ACORN going to fund the prostitution ring.

As I previously stated, I work at a military organization in DC. To date I've heard noting coming down the chain of command on this issue. If true, due to where I work, I'd be one of the first from the MMB to hear about it. The jury is still out, stand-by.

I don't think it was on target. Let me rephrase, the video was a deceitful and edited video. If you want to call that "on target" then have at it. I call a lie a lie personally. And since O'Keefe payed out the money my reaction is that O'Keefe knew he was being deceitful and untruthful to the ACORN employee.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACORN_2009 ... ity_Office and sources are cited.

"On June 14, 2010, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released its findings on ACORN, by then disbanded. It said that there was no evidence that the group, or any of its related organizations, mishandled any of the $40 million in federal money that they had received in recent years."

O'Keefe had to pay out $100,000
The video was later heavily edited and published on conservative mega-blog Breitbart.com, making it appear that Vera had conspired with O'Keefe to smuggle underage girls across the Mexican border, when in fact Vera had immediately contacted the police after O'Keefe left his office.

HkyMtneer: Would you mind posting links to all the threads you have posted to on the Liberty boards with all the "interesting" little tidbits about Appalachian State? I would certainly be interested in reading them.
