You Have Got To Be Kidding
 
Just read where economic students attending Yale University were so triggered warning out by Donald Trump's election that they pleaded with their economic professor to postpone an examination needing a safe space until they could contain themselves from the shock of it all. My God what is this nation coming to? what are these people going to do with a real life event?

We obviously need to re-institute the military draft. These kids are so soft that they cannot survive without assistance. They have been coddles way too long, by parents that probably never served their country either. Time for EVERYONE to have skin in the game. No service, no entitlements. The only folks that should be exempt should be those that are physically or mentally handicapped.

The reason the young are soft/stupid is obvious...they've been dumbed down so women and minorities could "compete". This is the result...you reap what you sow...plant sh!t in their heads and you grow/get sh!t.

I hope Trump end ALL this "equality" bullsh!t.

All federal funding, tax breaks, if any should be taken away from these obviously political universities.

If churches can't be political then education should not be either.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Evidence that today's education does not equal wisdom is proven by the way this country has been run.

Language
 
I can remember when members were restricted to using the TOTV for doing a lot less than swearing and using low class language. Once had a Professor teach that the only reason that language is used is because the person is not smart or educated enough to use proper terms. Losing this as a "family site"?:cold:

This type of post is what has made this forum objectionable.

It was ONE...ONE...professor ..ONE. duly reported by Breitbart, Fox and the NY POST as far as I can see.

Headline story on Breitbart...A HEADLINE for one professor.

This is what wil destroy before he starts.

So many accepting and supporting people, and the alt-r is simply now looking for trouble.

It is time to go to work, and drop the silly games of trying to call people ou.

ONE PROF AT ONE UNIV, in my mind, is not worthy of a thread, but then again, the radicals made it a headline, and keeping that up will bring Trump down before he starts.

His famous lines -

  • "This is not a democracy, if you don't like it the door is over there"
  • "I am like Marlin Perkins, I run this Wild Kingdom"

Nice language. You made a statement and I made a statement. If that angers you, then you have an issue with anger control. I bet you get punched a lot.

I do not believe the professor has any clue that the ridiculousness of his/her decision IS what Trump tapped into to get elected.

BTW, I read that he/she made the test optional. I bet they thought that was a good solution to a tough situation :a20:

Normally, in an all volunteer military that would be true. In a conscript military, it is much more than that. They do not coddle the recruits and if they get out of line, they don't get kicked out, they get thrown in the brig and then make up their service time when they finish their punishment. But, it's all just conversation, and not to be taken seriously. America's momma's would never allow their little children to be barked at harshly by big bad DI's.

Thanks for sharing this. Particularly enjoyed your 3rd quote. Sounds like you had a wise father who knew how to get his point across with few words.

Same exact thing happened in November of 1968 when Nixon was elected for the first time .

The students who led this effort spent all day hanging out in the Student Union and playing an unending game of cards . Then suddenly they became " activists " and as soon as they got the midterms and finals eliminated they reopened their card game .

I am 77 years old and can relate to what you are saying and your father's maxims.

HOWEVER, I long ago realized this is NOT my fathers world or your father's world.

Young people do not grow up the same. There is no draft, the family unit is becoming extinct, the sexes have become blurred.....all this means that young people are not growing up in OUR world, and thus do not see things the same way at all.

If you recall how just seeing Elvis swing his hips would destroy us...how a movie that simply mentioned pregnancy of a single woman was taboo...how being pregnant and being single was simply a tragedy.

So many things and then add in the internet, which is, in my opinion is huge in many of our differences and problems, have changed.

Lets face it folks......you cannot go back..you can try but I assure you...comparing today with our youth is a total and complete lost cause and will just frustrate you.

Read somewhere or heard it in analyzing this election as an attempt for NOSTALGIA. Well, you cannot go back...you cannot ever again have those steel mills pumping smoke into the air...you will never again see those coal mining communities and company stores. It is just not going to ever happen and if you supported Trump for "nostalgia" then you will be disappointed.

For me, the world has shrunk so small that we better recognize our friends, AND our enemies, which for me is my biggest concern right now.

We are NOT going back in time....the young folks are not going to change....like we tried to tell our parents and grandparents..you better get used to it...time marches onl

You're right to be disillusioned...each day the corruption grows worse. Each day the country slides a little closer to becoming 3rd world. Each day the kids get dumber.

Your grandfather would have been sued today...why? He knew everyone's value and that's racist/misogynistic...it won't be tolerated. It's hard to grow a successful business when the government forces you to carry 20% dead wood through hiring quotas.

Idiots who believe in equality don't realize that IF minorities were any good at anything but sports...they'd be recruited as heavily as they're recruited in sports. We'd need quotas for everyone else. The NFL and NBA are 90% minority...because they're GOOD at it. Top business/research positions are 90% white men...because they're GOOD at it. Get it? When you suck, nobody wants you and you need quotas. When you're good, people auction over you...sound familiar? You'd think the LAST thing a black man would be is a sports free agent, being auctioned on the block...just like a slave.

Nothing really changes...only the facade.

I agree with you, Rubicon, that this is foolish. Do any of you ever stop and think these children were raised by your children? Your generation raised adults who give in to their children's every whim. Why? Certainly not every one of you, but as you criticize today's youth take a moment to reflect on how they got there. Today's youth is your grandchildren... (or children for some of you). Peace out...

You think churches don't get political? Really? How about we simply eliminate ALL tax breaks from organizations? If they can't make it on their own, they probably don't need to exist.

It's STILL being kicked out? Correct?

Let me get this straight from you...if you're "not good enough" or you "create trouble" in military boot camp, you go to jail. But when you display these actions at school or at work...you get a quota? If you're a minority.

The parents both worked, so they could buy lots of stuff, threw their kids in "day care" to be "raised" by Lawanda the 3rd worlder who barely speaks English...and you wonder why they're messed up?

WE didn't "raise them to be like this"...3rd worlders, blacks, hispanics RAISED them to be like this. You mothers should have DONE YOUR JOB and raised your own kids.

It seems that liberals always have an excuse, a way of blaming others.

"YOUR CHILDREN?" I don't know about your children or grandchildren, but mine have turned out to be very good and contributing citizens. Not one would lower themselves to protesting in the streets and vandalizing. Of course, mine when to conservative schools, have great and well paying jobs and are active with their very active children. My granddaughter is in high school and will have her two year college degree by the time she graduates from HS. She will have a great foundation to start with when she moves on to college. Not all children are irresponsible, just the ones that are coddled. Much of it is the blame of their parents and much of it is the blame of liberal college instructors, with their own personal ideological indoctrination.

You are correct to blame the parents and grandparents of the spoiled youth of today, but lets not paint with too broad a paint stroke. Some of us stuck to our values and hopefully, that is indicated in the results of this election. Americans (at least half of them) have shown that we recognize how far America has fallen and wish it to return to moral and ethical values.

Just my two cents worth.

Let me guess...I bet your children and their children weren't "raised" by Lawanda in some "day care mill". THAT is where the damage starts. They're "raised" by intellectual and moral inferiors.

I don't know why I bother responding to you. No, my children were raised by their mother. She quit working so that she could be with them until they started school. We put them in private school and she went back to work AT THEIR SCHOOL to assist in paying for their education. So, basically she was with them all the way. No, we were not wealthy but we felt that their education (proper education) was more important than having a new car and other luxuries that we willingly gave up.

Regardless of your attempt at a racist innuendo, the answer is no, we did not put our children in daycare. But, some folks such as single parents have no choice but to have someone else watch their children while they work to support the family. This is unfortunate, but sometimes necessary.

Well...shouldn't we COMPARE stories and outcomes before the name calling?

Let's compare YOUR story about the stay at home mom who felt responsible for her kids welfare...to the typical idiots who both work crap jobs and sent their kids to the nearest "diversified" day care center. Lets see how THEY came out.

You proved my point...grudgingly. It's hardly innuendo, it's the facts beating you over the head. Kids turn out BETTER when a caring mother teaches and nurtures them...compared to kids sent to "day care mills" raised by 3rd worlders.

Not all day care providers are run by minorities. And not everyone on here are city folk. Some of us lived in rural areas. It's harder to raise children in cities than outside the city. Rural folks generally have higher moral and ethical standards. I know I am going to get punched for making such a generalized statement.

If they punch you, they're wrong. It's a FACT that city kids are worse than country kids.

MOST day care centers HIRE minorities. The owner isn't "watching" your infant. Lawanda is. She'll teach him his first words. Things like b!tch, n!gg@r, f@ck...that's what he'll be hearing.

There are MORE "city folk" than "country folk"...so that's why it's a problem. Most of our youth are growing up this way. People in the villages probably had the means to avoid the lower class day cares. The average citizen shops for price. And that price gets you Lawanda.
