Canada Ping!
I loved art class in our community college, especially graphic design. Our work was critiqued each week and I really looked forward to finding out how to make my work better.
Kids who get a trophy for playing don’t learn how to better themselves.
The New York Times noted it was “equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies, as well as students and staff members trained to deal with trauma.”
Puppies are my trigger warning. What am I to do! And don’t get me started on Play-Doh.
University campuses have become sandboxes of political correctness and censorship, far removed from reality.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Was she pneumatic ?
Welcome to Brave New World.
Sorry libs. Thanks for making the world where coddled, candya** students can't take reality without having a conniption fit or shrinking into a fetal position all the while sucking their thumbs.
Bubble children don't like being offended.
These are the same people that think that shutting down government funding of the arts will absolutely and completely kill any and all forms of art in this country. They argue by saying things like, "What do you have against art?" and "If it weren't for art, the walls in your house would be bare and you'd have nothing of beauty in life." Yes, all art will die if the NEA can't keep sending grant money to unemployed loser "artists" that aren't good enough to sell their stuff in the marketplace and have to live on welfare under a different name.
My walls are covered with pictures of my young granddaughters. No "art" can compare to that beauty.
They’re not deserving of our respect unless they earn it and experienced enough life to understand pain and taxes. Don’t give people like that the time of day. They don’t deserve it.
When you read stuff like this, it makes you wonder if there isn’t a small something to The Taliban’s point of view.
I don’t think this kind of contrived fragility, or pressumption of weakness will last many more years.
They have become dangerously myopic and self centered.
This may be the end result of catering to two generations of Self Esteem gobbledygook.
Unbelievable.
The problem is compounded by helicopter parenting. They spend the first 18 years of their lives without having to deal with any crises then get bitch-slapped by reality.
“They’re not deserving of our respect unless they earn it and experienced enough life to understand pain and taxes. Don’t give people like that the time of day. They don’t deserve it.”
What these people have degenerated (or perhaps never actually generated into) is something like alcoholism. An alcoholic can’t exist for very long without enablers. Their parents, the professors, AND OURSELVES enabled this, some actively, some passively.
I believe at least to some part this situation can be explained by the dearth of jobs for people under 18. Oh, those jobs still exist, but adults (many with families!) have them. Or, they have been “legislated out” - for example, some of the jobs I did in high school would today definitely put the officers of the companies who signed my paycheck in prison.
I swear before god almighty, eternal hostility to those who can be “triggered”. I don’t care what happened to you, and how sad it was. I have NO obligation to tippy toe around and avoid every behavior that might make you think of something you don’t want to think about.
As Led Zep sang,,, “when your conscience hits you knock it back with pills,,,,”
So do that, go to therapy, stay indoors 24/7 with no electricity, I simply don’t care. But rest assured, if I know you have a trigger, I will try to pull it.
Freaking Jewish people with numbers tattooed on their arm are flying on Lufthansa to go on river cruises vacations down the Rhine and Danube. Men who shot it out on Iwo Jima show up in a Toyota to go in the McDonalds to drink coffee. Guys who slugged it out in Hue are walking into your local Vietnamese buffet. And Saints Preserve us,,,people in Hiroshima, at this very moment, are using a microwave and getting x-rays.
And you dare to tell me YOU have things that can “trigger” you?
As Snoop would say,,, “Bit@h Please”
So take your trigger warnings, and shove the right up your wazzoo,,,
while you are passed out drunk,
and didn’t consent,
all right there in your safe room,
with plush animals and playdoh,
at Brown university.
It’s time we embraced our right to live freely, and for the sensitive types to adjust to the world, not the other way around.
We have our 1984
I'm still not convinced this isn't a not-so-subtle insult for the chronically hypersensitive. If not, it ought to be.
