I don't necessarily think preaching is wrong as long as they respect the persons right to decline. For instance, I find nothing wrong with Jehova's Witness's coming to my door and saying, "Have you heard Good News of Christ?" I usually say I'm not interested.
But street preachers really piss me off. Outside my school library there is always a group of preachers screaming about how all us college students are sinners and how he knows all the right answers. When faith is trotted as certitude, it begins to be more than annoying.

If you ever go to the University of Pittsburgh, you'll see it's just a bunch of random buildings scattered throughout Oakland. So sadly it wasn't private property.

You think Coors is bad? Have you ever tried American Beer?

Coors is American beer. (Unless you're referring to some kind of "American-brand Beer" that I haven't heard of.)
It's good that none of you know what American beer is. It's actually a brand where a case is 8 bucks...so it has to be good if it's that cheap, right?
