The truth was no where to be found in article, which said that the pro-life club was given conditions and rules that no other club (like say a ndp club or pro-choice club) had to follow. When the reality is that there are no political or pro-choice clubs - none. Just school clubs like the "biology club" and athletic clubs like the curling club.<BR/><BR/>But regardless, the pro-life club was granted club status under the same rules and conditions as have always applied and IMMEDIATELY went out and broke every single rule and then when their club status was revoked they immediately called the media to claim they were being persecuted and singled out.<BR/><BR/>Pretending that there is no difference between the biology club putting up a poster on the biology bulletin board in the biology department to inform students about about an upcoming conference or guest speaker, and the pro-life club plastering the campus, female bathrooms, etc with hundreds of their posters. No difference at all.<BR/><BR/>As far as I am concerned, on campus these groups are intentionally using these tactics to get media attention and play the victim card, as if they didn't they would be largely ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-60850957659374763162008-03-05T10:05:00.000-05:002008-03-05T10:05:00.000-05:00People are shown pictures of black lungs, cancerou...People are shown pictures of black lungs, cancerous gums, etc., to show the consequences of smoking.
