    He ran for President in 2004, and 2003. Also in 2003 he went for Welfare Officer when the winner resigned (SU Council elected Mike Miley as temporary Welfare Officer then).

    He got 350 votes in 2003 and 148 votes in 2004.

    'a thread for christopher..'

    It's like a 'song for europe' titlewise.

    D'you know, i always had an admiration for him with his slightly 'not in sync with the college population views' and his persistence in publicly standing up for what he believed. And, i never had a boring conversation with him.

    Im glad people in Trinity still care about the issues I raised. Im doing well here in South Texas, and perparing to start lawschool in the fall in Ave Maria in Ann Arbor, MI. Untill then, Im working in a law firm when im not hunting or with the ladies. I miss Trinity though, pettiness and all. Im not really contraversial down here as everyone generally agrees with me. I am part of a small minority group though. Brownsville is about 95% Mexican. They have great family values, but few speak English. Guess ive grown quite fond of my colonial mentality status. Anyway, all the best my fellow Trinners!
    Christopher

    Who the hell is he, and why is he so controversial?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Kevin_rc_ie

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 Lighthouse_Cat

    He made comments apparently that gatlings child, which was born out of wed lock, should have been killed, or so I'm told. Also "apparently" he's a homophobic racist. Lots more stuff on top of that, don't know how true any of it is really. I voted for him cause he had a funny name.

    i love how they blow thing out of porportion! I would never propose killing children as i was the pro-life canidate. i have gay friends and even drank at the george a time or two. i think homosexuality is wrong, but like few at Trinity though, im not afraid to say what i really think about the subject. im not a racist. i voted for allen keys in the republican primaries, want thomas to be the next cheif justice and would vote for rice if she ran. they're all black! last night, i went on a date with a girl from mexico (although her family is really from Spain). i do love sterotypes though, there's always a hint of truth in them.

    i spent today at my new job in a law firm. it was tough, but i really liked it and someday i shall be a fine lawyer. i told three people that they arnt getting out of jail ann time soon as their appeals were quashed. kind of felt bad for them, but when one looks at what some of them did, you'd think a proper hanging was in order! probably more of the same tomorow, though i might be in court. still feel like sort of a lackey though. i think develing before lawschool is better then after because you havent developed the lawyer's sence of pride yet.

    tell john i said hi Chris!:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Lets just say for a minute I believe you're who you say you are. I did find the image of you as a mindless homophobic racist Nazi a bit too convenient. especially considering the source. I think allot of people found CG morality very objectionable but one thing was for sure he was not as two demensional as people made out. I suspected you would be the type of person to have gay friends, at the time. You seemed full or paradoxes. Where the rumors about you and homeless men true?

    Is it true you tampered with a roomate's condoms with a pin because you were sick of him having sex with his girlfriend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭DrIndy


    I'm back in Rockport TX!

    I know much more about Christopher than any you guys do and have a lot of respect for him. He speaks his mind and his views are different, but never allowed those to be suppressed by anyone objecting to him!

    We had a whale of a time in Brownsville! Want to head back and meet him sometime again. Best of luck with Law School and fun in court!

    His dad is really cool too and has a cat that prefers water from the bathroom sink to the drinking bowl.....

    I'm not racist. I have lots of black friends, I swear!

    So that's a no comment on the condom thing?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Kevin_rc_ie


    so he'd go to the box of condoms. pierce thru the wrapper into the condom it's self, prick a hole. then stick the condoms back in the box, and the box back in the sock drawer/fridge/whereever you kept them (fridge?) and then say nothing. so house mate comes along, whips it on, doesnt realise it's broken.....ha...genius i say.

    Well that's what I heard. But no use of the word genius.
