First thing I thought of!!

This ChiCom immigrant can stuff his crap where the sun don’t shine.

It’s not even worth debating twisted thug “logic” like his.

I wouldn't bother arguing with true believers like your co-worker. I would have just informed her that her cartoon was offensive to me and therefore she should remove it.

If muslims can’t wrap their heads around the concept of free speech and individual rights, then that means that they picked the wrong country to immigrate to.

Maybe the muslims would feel more at home in the UK, europe, or the middle east, where people are too wimpy to recognize an invading army when they saw it.

If the muslims don’t like they way we do things here in the US, well that is just too damn bad.

A better author could have written a good response to what the student writer actually wrote. But this author was too lazy and so he had to insert a lie into his recap of the student's piece in order to stir moral outrage against a straw man.

Note the difference in the following two statements:

Saying she felt threatened by Charlie Hebdo and El Rhazoui, the student asked if she could condemn the attacks, but not say that she supports people’s right to free speech by saying, “I am Charlie.”

But here is the line from the student's article that that sentence was supposedly summarizing:

During the Q&A session on Thursday, a Muslim student Aseal Tineh claimed to feel threatened and asked whether she could condemn the Charlie Hebdo killings without saying “I am Charlie.”

Did you notice anything? The summary is actually longer than the original. Why would that be? Why not just quote the original if it's more concise?

The "Pundit Press" author is making exactly the same mistake that the students at the University of Chicago are making, getting confused between agreeing with people and supporting their right to free speech.

The Maroon? This isn’t a satire? Has no-one in Chicago heard of Bugs Bunny? As in “What a maroon!”?

The good news is the comments in the original Chicago Maroon article, which are (all five of them) completely dismissive of the ridiculous position taken by the author. What a bunch of wussies our country is raising that everybody is running around talking about the “need” for a “safe space” in which to hold or express opinions, which safe space is apparently a space in which nobody is allowed to disagree with me about anything I think is important. The absurdity of this, and the ease with which it can be transformed into ending any one individual’s right to say anything, is so obvious that it’s hard to understand how anyone could not realize this. What a bunch of cowards.

Thanks for the wisdom of Bugs Bunny. I had forgotten that “maroon” is an alternate spelling of “moron”.

I’m offended by rap lyrics.

But I also grew up in an era where if something was offensive you just ignored it and got on with life.

This Yong person should ignored too
