    I was pointing out the stupidity of suggesting YouTube as the place for free speech. Free speech isn't for some corner of the internet.
    In this thread. What are you calling for?

    Recognition of a growing cancer is the reason I posted this.

    This is a culture problem. I merely want more people to recognize the issue and that it's toxic to our country. The solution for damn sure isn't suggesting that people just post their content on YouTube.

    Other than that the only thing to do is for colleges and police to actually punish people when they break rules or laws.

    But what is your idea of free speech on campus?

    Free speech isn't for some corner of the internet. The reason they freak out on college campuses is their groupthink bubble is being penetrated. That's a good thing. These mobs need to be shamed into extinction. Not some bull solution for a video on YouTube. A solution that involves a platform where free speech doesn't even exist.
    Actually, YouTube is as free speech as it gets, plus you get the snowflake safe space (you could even turn off comments)... There's no guarantees on the first amendment as to the venue(s) where you might exercise your right. There's also absolutely no reason why some other people that disagree can't exercise their right to free speech to protest your opinion. And rightly so, tbh

    Their free speech regularly involves invading the venue and causing disruptions to the event. It involves blocking doorways. As well as other illgal activity. Schools need to suspend and police need to arrest.

    Micro aggressions, trigger warnings, safe spaces, cultural appropriation, and 50+ gender pronouns don’t exist because of conservatives. But, nice effort to flip the script. I’d be embarrassed of that , too. Good day, snowflakes!

    This would matter to those that agree with everything he says.

    Even in that case one can easily argue the motive for saying that. One could easily interpret his intentions as trying to encourage his supporters. He says that he thinks he has a majority of support. That's not the case. So one may think he is trying to minimize the threat at the same time project strength for his supporters. That is motivating.

    Or you can take it at face value.
    This is my comment pertaining to that other thread.

    It makes it easier for you to presume that those things are widespread issues because they have names. Despite 95% of college students never discussing safe spaces or microaggressions, and despite the fact that many who do discuss those things also think they're ridiculous, you read an article or some far-left column and from your little antisocial bubble you assume it's happening everywhere. It's incredibly dumb.

    Meanwhile conservatives literally legislate against things that offend them, like gay marriage, anti-obscenity legislation, etc. The still-ongoing reaction to Colin Kaepernick has been much more widespread among conservatives than all of those things combined. You would rather focus on funny buzzwords that very few people in the real world concern themselves with.

    Find one post on this forum where a liberal advocates for safe spaces. One.

    Conservatism at its core is resistance to change. You flip out so much at the idea of progress that you elect re ed reality TV hosts to the highest office in the land.

    Although soft to make a big deal about the jokes a comedian made it pales in comparison to the direct threat to free speech on going on elsewhere. Like the video shows it cost $600,000 for security for a conservative to speak on campus. People are starting to compare speech to violence and therefore that justifies physical violence in return. People are increasingly pushing for nonsense hate speech laws. These are direct threats to our country.
    "People" like the president, who has railed against "fake news", called the media "enemy of the people", pushed for harsher libel laws so he can sue people like some penny ante dictator, said some journalists should be in prison?

    The threat seems pretty obvious to me, but it isn't your preferred narrative.

    Darrin, like most conservatives, is pretty much committed to his strawmen. Good luck piercing that viel of delusion with the spear of reality.

    What does CRISPR have to do with the safe space conversation in this thread? Seems like you just Googled Berkeley too...

    The public's awareness of each university has nothing to do with it. Rest assured if CNN was covering protests on Liberty's campus every month, more people would have heard of it. That's the point.
    Literally baffled that I follow something within my field. Contrary to belief, not everyone has to Google this to be aware of them.

    I mentioned that fact, along with the other two schools, to show you the level of academics that Berkeley has. A very prestigious public university vs a private school should be held to the same standards? I suppose your also one of those idiots that get butt hurt about Facebook's TOS also?

    How is your comparison between those schools different than a statue of Jesus outside a private school versus a public one?

    So under 5% enrollment at Berkely was the advocate for this safe space?

    It's disingenuous to suggest the distinction between Public and Private is the concern for people who obsess over Berkeley controversies.

    I have no idea what the percentage is at Berkeley, nor do I care. I was talking about college students as a whole.

    It's not two colleges. It's a serious threat to this country.
