Damn, I keep typing and erasing my words on this one. It is messed up on so many levels.

I think what she said was awful, and parents who are paying tuition have a right to spend their money elsewhere; but she is allowed her opinion. Unless she was posting as a representative of the University, on a University sponsored site. Even then, parents need to stop acting as if their college age children shouldn't be exposed to controversial opinions. That is what a higher education is supposed to provide, at least in part.

That poor young man, what a senseless death.

Also, don't vacation in North Korea.


im actually a little dismayed by the quote from the university that bosco shared in the OP, distancing themselves from the woman and her position. they missed an opportunity to promote the exchange of ideas, however distasteful some ideas might be.


I'm not surprised, it is a business and it has a Board which isn't going to be happy with bad press and potential loss of income. Although people often say they will never send their kids to such and such, but outrage fueled by current events is too soon forgotten.

A nice brochure and the convenience of having their kids close, will likely wipe the outrage away like it never happened.


its possible that some daring administrators could turn the "outrage" into a drawing point and an opportunity for the school.

but I agree with your thoughts though about "soon forgotten."

I have three friends actually who have sent/are sending/will be sending their kids there.

the blurb in the OP uses the word "adjunct" so she is not tenured.

theres a curious, almost paradoxical element to her statements. she is toeing the liberal line when she complains about "white privilege" but goes off the leftie reservation just a little when she complains about students not doing their work but expecting good grades.

in any event, I don't think she should be fired or even disciplined---if the college campus is supposed to be the hotbed of the marketplace of ideas, then that is the place for such things to be said, discussed and either supported or refuted.

Let's not forget that the opprobrium against educated elites is a main theme of political Right populism. More so the Right than a Lefty complaint.

As an anthropology professor she has standing to make the observations that she made.

Lol, you are in hate mode today.

Can't imagine what you see. I am a loving and caring person. No hate here, boss.

Her remarks are quite proper for anthropological studies. Just not pc.

How stupid can you be.




bounty44 -> RE: Professor: Otto Warmbier got ‘what he deserved’ (6/25/2017 4:34:41 PM)

I beg your pardon?




WinsomeDefiance -> RE: Professor: Otto Warmbier got ‘what he deserved’ (6/25/2017 4:57:39 PM)

He meant the University, not N. Korea.

When you do stupid shit in a foreign country (or even our country) you frequently end up in the slammer.
When you end up in the slammer, bad shit tends to happen no matter what your color or gender.

Moral of the story.
Don't do stupid shit and stay out of the slammer.


You took the words right out of my keyboard.

So it was a harsh punishment that he should have expected from a country that he must have known is notorious for doling out harsh punishments, where the soldiers have been trained to despise him.

The best part about North Korea is, their unreliable electricity, and their poverty, where there is not enough food, North Korea teach every single North Korean that, this is cause by Americans, who is the real dictator and oppressor wanting to intentionally make them suffer. Basically, all North Koreans are brainwashed to think that Americans are their number 1 enemy and are out to deprive them of everything. I guess it's the sanctions imposed. Since they got no internet, no access to any other information from the outside world, and all information and news they will receive or books they will read is all government controlled, all that would only be their reality. So when an American come in and steal something of theirs. I am not even surprise how brutally he will be treated.

I do specifically think that Americans should be extra careful in North Korea and stay out of trouble. I believe the consequence for them will be actually worst than any other nationality due to their country being made scrape goat for all of North Korea's problems.

This kid is so dumb. I have a hard time feeling sympathy for him. And also, I agree with the professor that it is probably also his parents fault on upbringing.

But the only mistake the professor made is bring the word "white" into it.

Because there are spoilt kids like these from every races.

But this one seriously been brought up to be beyond delusional to think he can go into a place like North Korea and seriously not get caught. He was so cocky he stole a damn fucking big poster! I just could not believe how big the poster was, that was involve. And what was his plan when they freaking ransack your every luggage before you leave. They even want to inspect your phone to vet the photos. Graduated from University but seriously no brains.

It may be offensive to some but it is not a mistake. The variety of the human species is a valid part of the study of anthropology.

It's outrageous that there were consequences for her inflammatory comments. You should go handle her legal issues for her, I am sure you can both get rich off of this miscarriage of justice

I guess that everyone should just be allowed to go to a totalitarian military dictatorship and do whatever they want, and anyone who suggests that this mentality is wrong is way out of line.

This is why things like this will continue to happen.

But not outrageous that there were consequences for Warmbier's actions, of course.

It's outrageous that someone who committed a crime in a foreign country had bad things happen to him and the person who pointed out that there are consequences for stupid actions got canned.

Of course Libtards like you disagree.......................Libtard[:D]

Well when did visiting any country (yes, even engaging in what was a little vandalism) become a capital offense ?

Surely, if anyone believes that he 'deserved to die' one must think it is.

Why would a black student need to go all the way to North Korea to get killed under curious circumstances over a trivial offence?
