The ones I see decrying it are arguing that by removing safe spaces and triggers they can’t be free to talk about Trump, immigration, guns, and the evils of political correctness in classrooms and in other places on campus. They argue that a liberal educational environment is just as triggering for them just the same…

This viewpoint is very fascinating to me. It illustrates a fundamental problem with anyone trying to “right the wrongs” of society. They are not acknowledging their own bias with regards to what “right” looks like.

I believe it’s human nature to assume what is “right” is really just what is most familiar. And I have a…

the University doesn’t actually need its teaching assistants very much.

The left has completely destroyed the meaning and purpose being having both safe spaces and trigger warning, then of course complain when some place like the U of Chicago decide they won’t go with that anymore.

As a current student at the University of Chicago I can agree with your BFs sentiment. It must be in the water. I thought the statement (and this is the first time I am seeing it) is balanced and very needed.

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…

Chargers Blame it on Bosa, No Va in San Diego.

The Chargers will lose a top 3 draft pick, with no concession. That would be a huge whiff.

Hes’ been suspended for saying dub shit before and his ratings went in to the talk. Also, the program director that hired him and was his biggest proponent was recently fired.

Somewhat related, my late grandmother used to request to go to Hooters every few months because she thought the servers were overly friendly and loved it. They (the servers) especially loved seeing a woman there and liked that I would bring her.

That’s not at all what I said. I said that it’s not horrible for everyone; I didn’t say it’s wonderful for everyone. It was this line in your comment that drove my response: “you do seemingly have a bunch of servers enduring low key (or more intense) sexual harassment so they can pay the rent or afford their children.”

You do know most sociopaths had odd upbringings, and some downright horrible ones. Should we let them go because their circumstances contributed to their monster selves? No, not in their case, nor this person’s case either.

I liked Larry’s solo parts in the show the few times I watched it. But I thought the panel discussions were terrible. It just became five people sitting around agreeing with each other on everything. There were never any kind of alternate opinions, disagreement or disputes. There was never any kind of back and forth.…

I’m not defending them. But I personally think the real story is somewhere in the middle of Lochte’s story and Brazil’s story.

This is like the plot of a really bad spring break movie. And I LOVE it.

I feel very disinclined to pass judgment on this dude, because it seems like he’s making these products for people who actually practice witchcraft as their religion? That could be my incorrect hot take, but I just feel wrong shitting on this dude for trying to make a (albeit odd) living. As long as he’s not trying to…

I wouldn’t want to see Americans on all three podiums for four out of five events. The world gets it, we’re rich.

THIS! Why the fuck is it newsworthy what some couch potato in Bumfuck, Ohio thinks about Gabby Douglas’s hair? Gabby & the world at large wouldn’t even see those negative comments if blogs (including Jezebel!) didn’t give them greater exposure.

I’m with you. I have been defending this young lady all week by telling people she is probably focused not bitter. People just love to sit behind their computers and tear other people down. Gabby is an amazing athlete and from what I can tell, a good person. I wish her much success in the future.

Seriously, nowadays at least 25% of news reporting is just posting 8 negative tweets about some topic and stating it is what everyone is talking about. This Gabby Douglas hate wouldn't be a thing if the news media wasn't actively stirring this shit.
