Si`, E` Vero!

We already know what happened when the flower children ofthe 60s & 70s, and the Domestic Terrorists like Bill Ayers run the country....

Just stopped by here to see how they spell.... P U S S Y!

[who knows what evil?]

Seems to be a lot of college boys hopped up on soy and estrogen...

I think that this pretty conclusively answers the age old question, “Is there anything more worthless than a Brown University ‘education’?”.

[Vaquero]

Hey......fugetaboutit! This Brown’s university finocchio is what passes for the results of higher education? We are being undermined from the bottom up by Marxism. My Salerno raised grandfather would have told him “you can act like a man”. Right out of the Corleone playbook.
When I was 12 and fishing with him and his friends I said “Grandpa....were all out of soda” He said in a gruff voice “ then have a beer like the men”. I got it.

There needs to be a way to tell “true believer” type idealists to sit down, shut up, and quit peeing on all the corners. That holds for both social justice nazis and libertarian sociopaths. Just go away, we want to do our work, not take on your stupid indoctrination.

[knarf]

What bothers me the most is the language is composed like a technical manual about the diametrics of astrally projected carbon theorums squared (Of COURSE I just made that up) and not koine English (Can I use that phrae ?)

I can (and do) fully appreciate a command of English and a large vocabulary, but when we speak or write, we should strive to inform rather than confuse

Hey Smart@$$!

Still living in mommy’s basement? Is that “safe” enough for you?

Tired of taking crap from your stupid parents?

Move out now, while you STILL KNOW EVERYTHING!

This is what happens when everybody wins, everybody gets a trophy, and nobody loses. You have children who have been raised outside the framework of this thing that they’ll have to deal with when they graduate college. That thing is called “reality”. And due to parenta and teachers alike, these kids will find reality tough sledding. The best thing you can do for this generation is be butally honest with them about life and reality. And when they whine and complain, give them a big hug, smile and say “suck it up, buttercup”.

First of all, this twit doesn't have to worry about “safe spaces” because no one will want to be close to him. His writing is dense and unwieldy, as is his thinking. The odor of victim-hood is a guaranteed repellant to everyone but other self-proclaimed victims.

Beware to employers who introduce someone with this mental baggage into their workplaces. The only place for social malingerers such as this is academe.

I will not be lectured to by some half-bright undergraduate who’s never faced down a mortgage, held a sick kid in his arms all night or made a sales quota. I earn my degrees (paid my own way, thank you) and they’re the least important thing about me. We don’t need comfort, we all need challenge

I notice at the wsj the article says "comments on this article are closed, due to excessive ad hominem attacks on the writer and other commenters."

Same here. Sometimes a simple colloquialism like "bullshit" is entirely sufficient and appropriate.

[hinckley buzzard]

It is Spring, and the whine of the emotional cripple is heard in the land.

[hinckley buzzard]

He's at Brown. Whaddya expect. They are so brilliant they just don't have to use language the same way we do.

[Iron Munro]

Their imaginary constitution prohibits anyone from doing anything that upsets them and protects them from opposing viewpoints.

Where never is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Safe Spaces

In shooting circles, it is wherever you are standing with a .45 in your hands.. :p
