College Students Want 'Our Lord' Phrase Off Diplomas

Hmm. How so?

Not everyone that attends believes in the Christian god. His complaint is a valid one. You may not like his complaint, but it is a valid one.

I wouldn't fault the school for keeping it either. This is a non-issue and the fact people are making a big deal out of it that don't attend the school is laughable at best.

A student of the school is requesting (not demanding) that the school do something. It is the school's right to deny or accept the request. Non-issue.

So you have said, three times.
HOW is it valid?

There is nothing valid about going to a school with a minister and church on campus not to mention "Trinity" in the school title and pretending its supposed to be secular because you want that.

It's already been explained, you either didn't read what I typed or you just don't like the explanation. Either way, not my problem.

Says you, well guess what? You're opinion doesn't matter. You don't get to decide what is valid and what is not in the end. The school does.

Translation:
You cannot show how the complaint is indeed valid.
Fair enough. Run along.

I've shown it, you are blind. Not my problem. Thank you for conceding you are illiterate or blind.

I'm sorry -- there was no need for you to respond, as you made it quite clear that you had nothing but unsupportable opinion to offer on the matter.

So, again - run along.

It isn't unsupported because it is FACT not everyone that attends the college is Christian. Thank you again for your concession to me and my condolences on your condition of not being able to read or blind. Run along and hide now.

THAT's your support?

:rofl

How does THAT make his complaint valid?
 
THAT's your support?
:rofl
How does THAT make his complaint vaid?

Seriously, do you need EVERYTHING hand fed to you? Do us all a favor and think for a bit ok? Run along and play.

Ah - you cannot answer the question.
Thought not.
 
Keep thinkning that.
Meanwhile, your assertion remans unsupported.
No surprise.

Not unsupported at all, even the board of trustees considers it valid as they will be voting on it.

As usual, you lose.
 
Says you, well guess what? You're opinion doesn't matter. You don't get to decide what is valid and what is not in the end. The school does.

This is true about your opinion as well.

Just trying some basic logic which you apparently couldn't follow.

The difference is that the board of trustees will be voting on it so they feel it is valid. Unlke your assertion, the people that feel this is value will be voting on it.
 
Not unsupported at all...
I'm sorry -- where was that answer to my question?
Oh -- I dont see it because you havent posted it.
Not that I thought you would.

the answer is in the article, READ. Even the board of trustees says this is valid. You lose again.

Psst.... this is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy.

That any number of people, regardless of who they are, think that an argument is valid does not make it so. Validity is not a matter of popular opinion.

Thus, another TNE swing and miss.

And your argument of it being invalid because you say so is laughable. You lose for the third time, you're out junior.

Um...

-I- never made a claim about the validity of the argument, I merely challneged you to support your claim that it IS valid - a challenge that you have thus far failed miserably to meet, given that all you have to support it are logical fallacies.

So, if you should ever have something solid in this regard, let us know.
 
A group of students at Trinity University in Texas wants the Christian-rooted school to remove the words "Our Lord" from their diplomas, the Houston Chronicle reported.

"A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection, told the Chronicle. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."

Qureshi, a Muslim student at the school, is leading the campaign to remove the words. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the matter during a meeting next month.


Another perfect example of liberalism trying to control private organizations on what they can and cannot do.

What part of Trinity do these students not get?

Even as a private organization, as consumers the students have the right to criticize service and request changes.

No question of that at all.

Lucky for them that they are somwhere that it is OK to question such things, especially when dealing with religion.
