Re: Students in American Universities should temper their views - Split from China thread
"The day that stops being the case, and the day the International students become too much of a burden to these "subsidized universities", will be the last day a foreign student enters the US."
Stop flattering yourself. The point is that post 9/11 Muslim students are under a much greater scutiny, ask Irem and Pakora. There is still an extraordinary demand from other parts of the world, parts of the world where anti-Americanism is not rampant. To the extent that Muslims are shut out of good Universities, (and just so we all recognize it, ALL countries are giving Muslim students much greater scutiny), Muslims will suffer far more than the US, as there is a huge demand for US educations from other parts of the world.
Now no one is saying that speaking ones mind about international affairs is anything other than a God given right. But in thread after thread, ignorant boys and girls refuse to understand that the University system here is not their birthright because they have rich daddys, or they have half a brain. A few egotistical little snots somehow think that the US will not carry on without them, and that they are irreplacable cogs in a big machine. Once you have some work experience, you will realize that there is no shortage of high powered brains, and that a bad attitude outweighs intelligence in the grand scheme of things.
Ask Irem what it is like to not be able to complete an education. Thank OBL, radical and violent politics, and terrorists for your plight. The Muslim world will get further behind the rest of the world in advanced education because it is impossible to know what is in the heart of a man, whether he means harm or good. Irem, in my previous conversations with you, you were very greatful to your university for your scholarship. But you were completely ignorant about how dependent Universities are in virtually every way on the government for support. You refused to acknowledge that the government had anything to do with your good fortune. After your visa was denied, your tune changed a bit.
Students who are here should carefully balance their feelings, and public statements. I can tell you that I would have personally forwarded a few choice comments here to a dean or two if I had known what school they were attending. Ya need to watch who you pi$$ off sometimes, and particularly in the field of international politics, realize that over time, you may be proven wrong! If your parents did not teach you how to be a polite guest, pick up the cliff notes....
) I deplore the loss of innocent life everywhere, be they American or Hungarian.
to these “subsidized universities”, will be the last day a foreign student enters the US.
I didn’t even apply for an American visa since 1998 
That is indeed what my parents have taught me, to be an honest person.
Please do tell me, coz I abhor selfishness, and if indeed I am being selfish then tell me how coz I would like to change myself in that case.
but its OK I guess
