Didnt know what a crispito was so looked it up.

Reminds me of these

Really good for a quick, probably unhealthy snack. I don’t like too many kinds of these cheap frozen burritos but the spicy picante is awesome.

Those are aight, but nothing compares to Crispitos.  The most comparable thing would be a beef Crispy from Amigos, but that's deep fried.  The school lunch crispito was more soft baked and came with nacho cheese and it literally made my mouth orgasm with every bite.

3 Duis for known man who likes to party.  This was all public knowledge before his hiring.  There was a reason he wasn't at a bigger university before he was hired here.  There is a reason he is not a bigger university right now, all of that revolves around one thing.

That doesn't mean what you think it means.

I'd love more ideological diversity here - there is a good amount (still not a proportionate amount, but internet messageboards do generally lean left) already, but I'd love more. Problem is, too many (certainly not all, as evidenced by people like @BigRedBuster and @TGHusker) hyper conservatives can't seem to defend positions or deal with criticism in here, and they decide to leave. Then, after they leave of their own accord, they criticize those who are left of being an echo chamber. It's some weird snowflake victim mentality stuff.

I love a good debate, but it's tiresome when each time I log in I have 15 notifications because each of my posts has 5-10 responses. I try to give each my attention, but it takes awhile to respond. Plus, many lately are demanding I do some research for them, which makes things worse.

The level of Trump hate here is palpable. There's also a lot of animosity toward anyone who tries to defend anything he does. I was suspended twice for simple espousing mainstream conservative views, with science to back them up.

If you want more diversity of thought, there needs to be far more tolerance of viewpoint.

No, it’s not. I won’t get into the arguments again. I bring it up now simply to show how reflexively intolerant the board has been to differing viewpoints and politically incorrect opinions.

That’s why this place is such an ideological echo chamber. It’s also why I get PMs from other conservatives who appreciate my posts but won’t post themselves due to the extreme intolerance here.

It is a lie. You know that's not why you were suspended. And the reason you get PMs from other conservatives is because the conservatives PM'ing you are either unwilling or incapable of backing up their claims. The same can be said for most of your claims. There are plenty of conservatives who post here and back their claims up. You just refuse to consider that they're conservatives because they don't come to the same conclusions as you.

Yawn. I was sent the allegedly offensive posts I made. The only things that were offensive about them were that they disagreed with the board consensus, were not politically correct, and there was concern they might cause hurt feelings. In this era of trigger warnings and safe spaces, thin-skinned folk are ill-equipped to deal with differing opinions. 

I spend a decent amount of time backing up my claims. On other claims, it’s simply not worth my time to either find a quote or story I remember so I can post it, or to do a simple google search that whoever is whining about proof could just as easily do. 

So how many people post here? Maybe a couple dozen regulars and a few dozen more who pop in from time to time? How many other than me are actively on here and defending Trump? How many are willing to give him credit for anything? Feel free to name names.

I have given him credit, BRB has, pretty sure Knap has, and others. Maybe the fact that no one is defending Trump should give you some pause as to the character of the man and his competency.

BTW I google searched your supposed Obama and the impossible economy quote. Nothing. Either provide the proof or admit your mistake and stop spreading false statements.
