‘I Deserve an Apology’: College Students Gather, Share Wounded Emotions After

Rutgers University students expressed hurt feelings and fear in the wake of a controversial lecture last week by conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos, saying the outspoken commentator's takedowns of liberal views were an assault on their sensibilities.

"I felt my identity was getting shot at by what he was saying and by what other people were saying," sophomore Jasmine Dennis noted during Monday's forum, according to the Daily Targum, the New Jersey school's newspaper.

As part of his "The Most Dangerous Faggot Tour," Yiannopoulos - who indeed is gay - lambasted many schools' attempts to shield students from ideas that might offend them during his Feb. 9 speech, calling out their "culture of safe spaces and trigger warnings."

"Of course, they're not really traumatized or upset - they're just upset that someone disagrees with them," he offered. "In my view, anybody who asks for a trigger warning or a safe space should be immediately expelled."

During the lecture many students held loud protests in which they shook their fists and smeared fake blood on their faces -

offended card + victim card + self pity card + unsafe/safe place card = assault on free speech

These people are acting like crybabies, but they are really totalitarians in training. They are learning only to be aggrieved, and they will be angry and malleable enough to become leftist shock troops of repression.

When I was a first and second looie at Fort Lewis 45 years ago, I saw the Army make men out of losers. I saw a poor black kid from Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn raise himself up to become an outstanding buck sergeant. I worked with an E-7 who said that the Army had saved him from a life of crime.

A little discipline would be a good thing for kids who didn't get enough discipline at home and at school.

"Maybe an obligatory two years of military service prior to college would toughen them up."

There's your path to a free education!

Let me give you fellas a little piece of information. I’ve been waiting for over 20 years for apologies for liberal doing very ugly things to me. It ain’t gonna happen...in either direction. Sorry.

Just drag them all to the roof and start throwing them off while screaming Allah Snackbar at their falling bodies, and they'll snap out of it real quick.

A draft, and especially one on which service is universal, is like a giant kick in the doodads to every professional serving voluntarily. Perhaps it would be good for some of the whiny little losers, but it would not be good for military effectiveness. Give me a unit of motivated volunteers who are going to be around for more a couple years over a bunch of reluctant draftees.

That’s what takes the cake. They are the aggressors, and then complain that their feelings were hurt.

If there was an apology, it wouldn’t make one bit of difference. They would still whine.
