Fk'n idiots.

Exactly. Well guess what snowflakes? I"m offended that you're offended. Get back to your safe space. The sane populace doesn't care if you're offended.

Lets just remove those walk don't walk signs. Eventually Darwin will determine the outcome.

My first thought also but the same retards would turn around and sue the local government for not protecting them.

GW has an average tuition of near 52,000 a year.. If i paid that much to send my kid to College and he whined to me about the walk don't walk signs being oppressive I think I'd beat him senseless for being so stupid.

coming of the next geratition, liberals.....

[Dixie-Raven]

What about all the black stick figures on slip warning and fall signs? Wouldn't that convey as oppressive to these same type individuals?

To those that did the typical read the headline and ignore the article thing, the petition was fake. This was " an attempt to test how deep concerns about "offense" and "oppression" go at GW".

And to that point, it was a poorly designed "study" if you want to call it that. It ignores the fact that may people, and I am sure an even higher percentage of the focus population at a university, are going to be shamed in to signing it if they agree with it or not. They would be afraid that not agree would label them as a racist. So, it doesn't test how deep those concerns are but may have done a better job of showing how many people will agree with this stuff out of fear.

Sorry, but if they are so weak that they are "shamed" into signing something this silly, perhaps they need to grow a set and learn to walk on their on 2 feet. Why be ashamed of what their beliefs are.

I wish the fish bit as easily as you guys.

It's nice to see that at least one other person here bothers to read an article before they start clutching their pearls.

Well, you're ignoring a real problem that is become more prevalent in our society. That is easy to say but harder to do when all the input you receive on a daily basis tells you that disagreeing with something like this makes you a horrible person.

I'm not saying anyone is horrible. Never did and not sure where you see that. You see a problem, I see idiocy at people getting duped into doing something because they feel they have to "go along" with the crowd. Very simple, if you don't agree with something, and you have strong morals and ethics and are comfortable with yourself, you won't be shamed into anything.

No, I never said you were. And I agree with your perspective and I'd do the same. I guess to be more direct, people are bullying others into this sort of thing. Its not just the simple "go along with the crowd" thing. It's people feeling as if there are real repercussions if they don't support this type of idea. For example, I know a really bright kid. Also a big kid that has been playing showcase hockey for years. He's what you'd term a big strapping boy. Not a wimp or fearful at all. He did early college in high school to get a head start on that path. But since he has conservative views, he was singled out by other students and called a white supremacist. As a result, it totally turned him off the idea of going to college and pursue some of his dreams. That sort of verbal attack has become an acceptable practice if you don't support the current cause de jour. And making it even easier for them to do this, is that an effective argument no longer requires fact or logic. Feels and opinion are all that is needed.

I agree with you completely that people should stand by their convictions but that really is easier said than done. Even more so for younger people who have not yet lived enough life to build the experience necessary to spot all the BS. When a large body of their peers are telling them they are a racist if the don't agree with them its difficult to stand against it and some begin to doubt themselves and start to believe that maybe the accusers are right.

Didn't that boy have parents who could have guided him regarding the "white supremacist" thing?
Chances are his parents were conservative too.. That's what parents are for.. to guild their children.

[keeferfish]

Oh no this game is done!!!

[jigman51]

Morons with to much time on their hands.

Saw that the other day...gotta be the progressive movement. Just waiting for the 2020 election to see just how far we as a nation have moved to the left. Some of the behaviors we see now would not even been mentioned or talked about in public a generation ago. The "new" generation coming up have had it to SOFT. Its not what I can do for myself....what the heck are you gonna do for me!

Of course he does and of course they did. The point being is you can’t underestimate the influence that this perspective has. I you don’t see it, you’re not paying enough attention. It’s how they get people to sway to their perspective.
