Is this the cry baby generation or is it just a tactic to crush free speech?:rolleyes: If it is a tactic, they have miscalculated because people are laughing at them.

Don't infer by this that I am a Trump supporter. If they where traumatized by Sanders or whom ever I would have the same thoughts.

Either way they're a joke. A pathetic cry for attention. Products of the "helicopter parent" generation?

Regardless, apparently I have the same name as an Emory grad so I keep receiving emails soliciting donations to the university. Not having matriculated from that particular institution I merely ignored them until this story broke. At which time I wrote back, "No way in hell will you ever see a penny from me until you start recruiting students with at least a modicum of maturity." And provided them a link to the article. Haven't heard back since, but I'll post any excuse they care to provide here. And if I don't hear anything back, well, that too is a reply of sorts.

You have no compassion. My god! They had to look at "Trump 2016" several times. Next someone will write "Hillary 2016". This madness must be stopped.
 
This story reminds me of another crybaby from two months ago.

https://beta.thestar.com/news/gta/2...niversity-film-program-over-israel-mural.html

A Toronto film industry executive is pulling his company’s support for York University’s Cinema and Media Arts program due to a mural he said is “anti-Israel.”

“It made me sick to my stomach and very angry,” Paul Bronfman said this week when describing his initial reaction to learning of the portrait. “We live in an amazing city, an amazing country, and to have this happening under our noses is disgusting. It’s subtly anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. It’s anti-Canadian.”

The mural is currently displayed in the York University Student Centre. It shows a person looking at a bulldozer close to a building while holding rocks. The person is shown wearing what looks like a Palestinian flag with a map of Israel without its borders. At the bottom of the mural, the words “justice” and “peace” can be seen along with other text.

Bronfman, who is on the board of directors at the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, said he learned of the mural, which reports say has been in the centre since 2013, through his work with the organization.

Bronfman is also chair and CEO of William F. White International Inc., a provider of movie and theatrical production equipment. He said the company provided thousands of dollars of equipment and technical services as well as access to seminars, student lectures, trade shows and open houses.

“I’m finally putting my money where my mouth is. I’m withdrawing all of our student filmmaker support from William F. White International,” Bronfman said. He said he withdrew the support as of Friday.

It is pretty ridiculous. I am not a supporter of The Donald, but I do support the Constitution. They might claim the signs are vandalism but even that is silly, because the chalk will be washed off the next time it rains.

And I think the goofy professors and students are trying to stifle free speech.

What kind of a speech is "Trump 2016"? It isn't even a complete sentence.

Even a mere symbol or an act like flag burning is protected free speech. Hence the need to invent the term "hate speech" to stifle free speech.

But you knew that.

Racist, misogynist, homophobic pig. They didn't have to invent anything, all the words were there. They just needed that Alinsky 'cook book.' Most of them don't have a clue as to why they're doing what they're doing, they just follow the formulaic principle. I can write 90% of their replies to anyone they disagree with, so can you once you know their roots.

Illiterotica.

ROB:

I'm telling you, once and for all :

Get off my back with these ridiculous accusations or "subtle inuendoes" (like the above) that I'm a Que alt, and with this entire army of xenophobic attack alts.

I'm not sure if you actually believe that I'm a Query alt, or if you're playing some sort of mind game to have a go at your adversary Que,


But leave me out of it and STOP. Enough is enough.

I don't know who you are, or particularly care. But it seems to me that you're expending an extraordinary amount of time arguing who you aren't rather than just being who you are. Be yourself and fuck the trolls.

I used to you're right, but I recently decided to put a cap on it.
On the other hand - when one opens the computer and the first thing that one sees is such a thing - one's bound to comment.

Enjoy your debate.

Take it personal if you want. Me? I draw the line at my family. They cross that line and trouble ensues.

Arguing with pieces of shit is pointless.

Oh no, I didn't take it personally and you're not the only person who advised me -with good intentions, for my own good- to detach myself from this.
I just felt embarassed that I lost my temper and I interrupted a serious debate with my ridiculous outburst.

Enjoy your day guys looking forward to reading this thread.:)

His comment had nothing to do with you.
 
Regardless of how ridiculous the whole matter seems at first glance - these are intelligent people and I doubt that they overreacted only because of some pro-Trump campaign slogans.

Taken only by themselves - the writings seem pretty benign. And if this was just an isolated incident - yes: their reaction would have been really stupid.

But I suspect that these aren't isolated incidents and there's a certain context to it, like a recent cluster of incidents of racist attacks or or hate speech that were written previously in that same place or so on. Who the hell knows… .

Both, yes this generation is full of cry babies and not just young ones. Also being a cry baby means you want freedom of speech crushed because you are too much of a baby to ever hear anything you don't want to.

What the hell ever happened to things like live and let live and just rolling your eye when you heard something you felt was wrong and leave it at that.

Don't like it Don't watch it or listen to it or if its a person ignore them

These kids are why there is no hope for this country.
 
Their upbringing has made them feel special, giving them participation trophies when they finish in last place. They fall apart in the face of adversity and think they have a right not to be offended or have their feelings hurt.

No wonder they're wimps.
