Heh. I guess these posters were "defaced".
I mean to be honest Princeton Pro-Life really should focus more on debates that aren't entirely focused on pictures of babies and pregnant women. It's like a visual guilt trip instead of a logical argument.
Just about every cause is in the business of visual guilt trips
@P10: Well, Princeton Pro-Life in fact *does* focus on debates. For instance, this past week, PPL hosted a dinner discussion in Mathey private dining room intended for pro-choice and pro-life students to engage in dialogue concerning their viewpoints. Moreover, PPL also sponsors several lectures throughout the year on various pro-life issues -- including one this past Friday. Furthermore, from Monday through Thursday last week, PPL had a table set up in Frist at which passersby could take pro-life literature to read, or perhaps strike up a debate with the PPL members stationed at the table. So, yes, such "guilt trip[s]" must be accompanied by rational argument -- and that is precisely what PPL does.
“The irony of that is that there was text on all the posters, except the one where the vandal had removed the text”
I still don't get.
If you had stopped by to look at the posters, you would have seen that the pictures were accompanied by (admittedly small) text and facts, like Sanyour said. You made the same mistake the vandals made, making a blanket statement about what the group was doing without taking the time to look closer.
Excuse me, P10, are you saying there's something dishonest about a picture? It portrays a reality, and as you seem to admit, a hard, guilt-inducing reality. Would you say that the bigots who tore down the posters are particularly interested in rational argument??!?
Conservatives on campus victimized once again! Will it ever end?
The text was left untouched. If the images were merely guilt trips, they shouldn't be missed; if the images were thought to contribute something to the discussion beyond triggering empathetic facial recognition, it should be explained.
the point isnt about whether or not part of their message was removed from the poster by the vandal, the point is that someone was disrespectfully voicing their disagreement with prolife
