Mr. Bollinger you are rude!!!!!!! we are not stupid and we can use our logic. Next time PLEASEEEEEE stop brain washing your audience before hand and PLEASEEEEEE take the speech 101 and the critical thinking classes at your university again!!!! It seems like that it has been a while that you have taken these classes and you forgot all about the fallacies, Maybe it is time to refresh your mind :)

Made a joke out of himself, University of Columbia, and so called educated people of United States. An academic person with rigid doctrines can damage humanity more than a stupid uneducated person. And how could they applaud him? Such a shame. Americans eat whatever they are fed. (news, knowledge, research its same as fast food. And these people just devour it) Be skeptic you stupid fucks. "Growth for the shake of growth is the ideology of cancer cell". Peace

with all due respect and condolence to the lives lost in the Holocaust, who is to say it is the most documented event in history? who is in the position to say Hezbolla, Hamas are "terrorist" groups? Bollinger earned his ethos only among the brainwashed, nevertheless alienated the majority of the people around the world, who are sober. Sure thing, freedom of speeech, but this introduction speech is disappointing, and even degrading for the name of Columbia, a world-class institution.

[MrTiti]

if u look closer at that the man speaking is belonging to a conglomerate/association taht cover all the most important parts of the us. the great firms, universities, knowledge and media. the man speaking here washes on the brains of those who already are washed and therefore it seems he is right. You instead were thinking. but: if u see what he said, like the holocaust, you learly see his origin. bollingers aim is to establish more support to israel and 9elleven. read and u will find

The typical Joe Smith indeed, ignorant to the core. "They is all backwards mooslims who hang each other from cranes". You have never visited Iran, that punishment is reserved for rapists and homosexuals. Your country builds prisons with tax payer money for pedophiles and rapists. Go back to chugging your sodium and watching Fox News. Don't forget to pray for Israel every night and worship the ground Jews walk on, Evangelical retard.

I don't like Ahmadinejad and I agree with pretty much everything the professor said.

However, I think it's ridiculous to invite someone to speak at something and then attack them like that.

acually it's a great country to leave in;of course this is not like our societies,there is no night club,strip club etc, ,no alcohol,there is no american movies but there is a very big black market,where you can find them and you can create your own alcohol.if you are not gay, and respect their values, you won't have any problems there;)

He invites him on the pretext of giving a talk, instead it was just a cover up to lecture him. Classy.
