Finally Some Common Sense: You Do Not Have The Right To Be Unoffended

[ClosedCaption]

Dang, that dude can whine.

He's a great strawman builder tho. Not as good as his whining but very close.

 

[ClosedCaption]

He's right . But he forgets that people do have the right to respond to those who offend them.

The "offended" don't respond, they go running to complain about it, or they try to get enough people together to shout down the other side, not discuss with them, or respond.

The Progs would rather live in "The Land of the Offended" than in "The Land of the Free".

Milo nails it:

nailed what, exactly..? what did that couple do to offend the students?


"Erika Christakis and her husband Nicholas Christakis, the Master of Silliman College at Yale, have been the targets of a rabid crusade by student witch-hunters to pressure the pair into resignation."

 

[boedicca]

Oh Milo! Bada-Bing! This nails it:

Through decades of social engineering, intellectually bankrupt courses in professional victimhood and mendacious speech codes, loony liberals have succeeded in turning American universities into madrasas. Instead of churning out intellectually independent citizens, they’re turning out wild-eyed fanatics with cult-like beliefs, whose flight-or-flight instinct resembles some of the most terrifying members of the Animal Kingdom.

Boycotting Tarantino does nothing to prevent others from seeing the film. Not seeing his film is not the same as calling for his death (as if often the default agenda of you prog loons towards bakers and pizza parlor owners who object to being enslaved by you).

Reading some news wouldn't hurt you. Erika had the gall to support Freedom of Speech.

Free speech and the ability to tolerate offense are the hallmarks of a free and open society. . . .
In other words: Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people? It’s not mine, I know that.

explaining exactly what you are posting about wouldn't hurt you...

hiding behind "freedom of speech" doesn't cut it.

lol, conservatives bitch about what they call PC at American schools,

and then they happily send their kids to those same schools.

Are you really that dense. The quote is what caused the SJW bullies to go ballistic. They are protesting that she defended Freedom of Speech and said it wasn't her business to tell students what HALLOWEEN COSTUMES they could wear.

Thats it, defend people being offended! Thats what your OP is all about! Hitting someone in the pockets from a govt agency is nothing.

THATS how you defend the 1st Amendment!

I support the right of people to be offended. I do not support their efforts to silence the free speech of others based on that emotion.

I realize that complex subjects are difficult for you to grok, but please try.

He's saying he supports the first amendment sometimes unless it offends him personally, then he's on the fence about the whole thing.

No, absolutely not. But I suggest you watch the video and then think about what they are really doing.

So respond. Running to complain and try to get them silenced is not "responding".

This is just a colorful rant that libarts courses are full of. That said, a chest-beating prof in a lecture hall takes advantage of order for their shelter. They got introduced and started making a prepped statement while everyone is expected to listen. More than likely, the undergrad debate team at this or any university could disembowel this guy.

Assembling in protest is one thing, but they aim to prevent any speech they disagree with from happening, either by making the school remove the invitation, or by disrupting the speaker so they cannot speak.

It wasnt a protest. It was a mob designed to intimidate. Big difference.
But universities are pussies going back to the 1960s. Not one administrator took decisive action when students occupied administrative offices. They should have kicked them out of the university and banned them from campus.

Dang, that dude can whine.

I imagine he doesn't understand that he comes across as a whiner. Whiners usually think their own whines are special.

And anyone he disagrees with is a " communist ".

Typical Republican dumbass.
