I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to use the word "view" a few more times. Sorry about that.

Their views are based on sound opinion? They are based on strong opinions, but not every strong opinion is sound. Their view on saints is based on unsound opinion. I don't think the soundness can easily be defended.

I can't believe anyone actually watches that show.  There are too many worthwhile things to do to waste time on it.

The View has quite a cult following among some of the students at my university, mostly because the Critical Thinking professor on campus rips the show to threads. Therefore if you don't want to have "class" that day, make sure you watch the view before you go and bring up a "relevant" subject while in class and watch as the prof. goes on a forty-five minute rant about the post-intellectual state of the US today and so on and so forth........................  I love college.

Just for clarification, I do not do this, however I must confess I enjoy listening the rants when my classmates do.

Today I am planning on going on a 45 minute rant concerning Oprah and her "spirituality." I wonder how many students I will offend.

By the way, Snoop Dog is going to be on the view this Thursday. I confess I'm tempted to watch.

I don't knw why students think that they're "not getting class" in a critical thinking class, when they raise a topic relevant to critical thinking and the professor explains how to think critically about it.
They do this to me all the time in writing class. I'm trying to help a student with a research paper topic--as an example to all the students of how to formulate a topic, how to do research, how to think critically, or whatever--and they accuse me of going "off topic," because I'm not standing there lecturing them about comma splices or whatever they think and ENglish teacher "should" be doing.
