i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

I don't disagree with his point, but it is also well within their 1st amendment rights to chastise and drown out hate speech, which is what much of the right wing is spewing these days.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I agree with the general sentiment that everyone needs to be willing to hear those that we disagree with, and that we should be respectful to them, if they warrant that respect. On that caveat, I distinguish between students protesting and leaving the discussion when serious, respected and respectful conservative thinkers are rightly asked to come and speak on campuses, and students protesting that honor being given to trolls and provocateurs with no real value being offered to campus discussion (like Milo and Anne Coulter).
But that caveat stated, yeah, it is disheartening to see when college campuses move from being intolerant of hate-speech and trolls to being intolerant of differing ideologies, often conservative ideologies.

Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostIt is troubling that some liberals and especially bastions of education would silence (or try to) any viewpoint. I do believe that some of his examples (walkout protests) aren't people trying to silence opposite opinion, but rather a demonstration that they do not support that opinion. It's also very different to ban people whose speech might incite violence which is different from presenting an opposing viewpoint. IE: I am ok with the KKK holding a rally where they spout their ideals of white supremacy, I am NOT ok if they start advocating violence or suppression of those they feel superior to.

I never said I would drag anyone out of an SUV.
Do some work, find the quote and then tell me what I said. (I actually know exactly what I said and how I said it)
I have indeed advocated violence at times however, I don't make a career of doing so nor is it my intent when I start a conversation. It's usually the result of frustration at dealing with stupid people. That's diminished some now that I don't really speak with anyone in Texas anymore.
You don't have to be perfect to acknowledge what's right and what's not.
I seriously wish I hadn;t deleted that Drunk post..........Some help on that Horns?If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

If you're going to to question my character, get it right.
If you can't remember what I said exactly, learn how to communicate that.
You're not very good at communicating anything except for the fact you're lacking in pretty much everything except trumping and trolling.67.5
