Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 How about the inconvenience to the people trying to get down the parkway to get to work. How about the accidents that were caused by this. There was no need for that protest to take over the parkway. If you want to protest, keep it on campus, or in an area that does not obstruct the day to day activities of those around you. How about the inconvenience caused to the families of nearly 4000 dead soldiers - or the incovenince to the soldiers and their families of the nearly 50,000 wounded? or the inconvenience of the quarter million Irauis who are dead as a result of our invasion? Or the inconvenience of our grand kids and their grand kids who will hae to pay the two trillion dollars this war cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The local residents don't like anyone. Most people who live here are uneducated laborers that got "left behind" when the rest of the world evolved. There aren't going to be any more factories shooting-up to hire you lazy, labor-union protected, couch potato's. We found lots of you over in Asia and India and they complain much less and work much harder; not to mention, they're smarter. BU is just about the ONLY thing left that generates a huge amount of revenue for this community. BU creates many good (by local standards) jobs, the students subsidize the "fallen" housing* market by pay inflated rents and contribute a lot of cash to the local economy. The next time you see a BU student you should tell him or her how grateful you are to them for their generosity. Google "INDIA" and see how things would be without them. • Yes, "fallen" - Binghamton is the third or fourth worst housing markets to all of America. See what CNN published today, about this wonderful place: www.money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/hpci_data/index.html That is right. We need the BU students to keep paying their fines from all of the arrests downtown from acting like immature imps. This town has survived for yrs before we had the influx of BU students, and will for years after you all are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before with no replies: What do you think your precious Lockheed Martin in Owego will think about loosing their #1 recruiting pipeline? Do you think they would want to stay in the area without a Research University to recruit from? They would for a while, but any VP worth a pound would see the need to abandon the area as soon as possible (meaning slowly over time, but get it done eventually, product by product, department by department). What about IBM, L3, etc... What will they think about loosing BU? You don't get it do you? BU is keeping this hold alive!!! Without it, NO employers who hire skilled labor would stay around, or move in!!!! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm pretty sure on Lockheeds application it clearly states if you have ever walked down the middle of a major highway then you need not apply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
