I’m not going to claim to be tough. I will say my Dad and two uncles fought in the Pacific in WWII and were over there for almost 3 years. Another uncle ran a supply boat back and forth, under fire, to the beaches at Normandy. That would be June 6, 1944. Now those guys were tough as nails.

Safe spaces? Seeking counseling because you were traumatized by a Halloween costume? Maybe if you’re 4 years old, but at 18 or 20 years old? Don’t these people have any pride?

Here hoping the ‘counseling’ is an open handed slap followed by a drill sergeant shouting “GROW UP YOU PANSY”

This is completely absurd.

“My daughter picked up a pink suit with bloodstains all over it and asked me what it was supposed to be. It crossed the line from offensive to offensively hilarious that someone would think it would make a great costume. It was Jackie Kennedy’s suit she had on when John was shot. That one would send snowflakes into cardiac arrest.”

______________________________________________________

If the snowflakes had any idea of what happened on that day. Do they even bother teaching American history in high schools or campuses anymore?

btw, sort of on topic—Stephen King’s “11/22/63” is an excellent book and made an excellent miniseries, with James Franco, I believe. I read the book, then watched the show. Both, I highly recommend.

(Oh, the premise is the James Franco character goes back in time to try to stop JFK’s murder; the consequences are ... well ... I don’t want to give out spoilers. :) )

The”counseling” should involve beating the hell out of the special snowflakes. Someone has to teach these unable to ever tolerate working students what life is really about.

LOL! Is that picture for real? Probably one of the funniest pics I’ve ever seen.

Think I’ll put it as my background! :)

If only I was 30 years younger. Every waking moment would be expended not only coming up with new and improved ways to trigger these people, but to trigger them at volume 11. This would be such sport, I might even accept losing a GPA point or two in my engineering classes

Indeed. Just buy your candy a day early, stay home, don’t answer the door.

Halloween costume counseling—a new psychiatric specialty.

Or, other thieves figuring they'd get away with the loot if they claim to be Bill & Hill.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!

These people are scary. They are the real spooks and monsters. So are the ones who let them get away with it. Enablers of group insanity.

This year, I’m dressing up as a Chinese hobo in black face, wearing a sombrero and carrying an M-16.

Darn...I was going to UF as a Seminole, or a Hurricane, or a Bulldog...I wonder if I can go there as a gator who is eating a Bull with a Knight attacking the gator.

If you don't know what I mean, you aren't a sports fan.

I grew up in the 30s and 40s in Boston.

Everyone was insulted at one time or other——ethnic slurs,insults about physical appearance,even intelligence level.

It was constant.

If we told our parents they told us to just ignore it——and we did.

Everone grew up just fine.
