I absolutely respect where you have came from as a Fordham student when the Sept. 11 attacks happenned, but my 3 years of enjoyment, as you so kindly put it, have been spent with students who have lost their mothers, their fathers, their brothers and sisters, so don't you dare question my statements regarding the imapact of those events. I have met a lot of smart and successful individuals, but a smart and successful individual is not necessarily a Fordham man. If you had been to Fr. McShane's speech tonight, you would realize that we are trying to distinguish Fordham as THE marquis (not marquee) Jesuit school in the country. In as far as that goal reaches, inviting a competing school's president over for a free degree disagrees with our hopeful achievements. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Dadas78 's message, "Get a life! This guy is more of a Fordham person at heart than you are. Your logic and use of topics is completely flawed.. NYU is his job, Fordham is where he went to school for three of his degrees. Also, what does your class gift or Sept. 11th have to do with the University picking your speaker? I hope you mature quickly. Your class didn't sacrifice any more than other classes before you have. Is your class historic due to Sept 11th? Since I graduated in 2002, is my class any less significant because we were seniors when that happened? Your logic sucks! My heart hurts that you had to enjoy three more years of Fordham, while I had to walk past the ground zero area on my way to work. Suck up the 40 minutes of speech, try and take something from it and enjoy graduation." on Fri April 22, 2005 23:22:21
