So the op is easily upset by people who he perceives as easily upset, sounds like more of the same.

Good question, T. My outrage has to do with this thread and almost every single person agreeing with the OP. I don't like unanimity, it bothers me. I don't care about Halloween costumes. Who would?

Nobody. And what sparked this whole thing.
I understand many other real issues and grievances students and all people really can have trouble with. Expressions of extreme political correctness in the incredible important matter of Halloween don't seem to be one of them.
And what really upsets me is that that's what passes for liberalism these days.
Anyway, liberalism is probably the wrong label.

yawn... say you what will about creepy or weido liberals.
I'll take one of those over creepy or weido conversatives. I'd rather have some loony burning his bra and trying to get me to go veggie and splashing paint on fur coats rather than expunging hate on anyone that doesn't think, act or f**k as they do. Therein lays the way to totalitariasm. We jokingly call our right wing neo-nazi's.
only half jokingly. PETA rules.... saving animals beats lynching blacks and sending in the black helicopters to deport illegal aliens and flying over the 20 foot walls we have built around our borders in my book. Hopefully yours.....

Isn't that, um, what these "creepy or weirdo liberals" are doing here? The main problem is the "creepy or weirdo" part, not the liberal or conservative part.

my point was... as usual not put forth with directness..
creepy liberals are FAR LESS dangerous than creepy convervatives.
and more ot the point. Creepy liberals are a joke.. a handful and in no position to be anything than punchlines and talking points examples for those who perpetuate the wacko liberal point.. we have a whole half of this nation which leans toward creepy conservatism. Thinking 'stuff happens' when gun totting psychos.. they enabled.. kill children and shoot up schools.

I said the same thing in the first page. For all my dislike of this new trend among some pseudo-liberals of getting upset about everything, I much prefer them to the religious lunatics on the other side and to the apostles of guns and haters of anything darker than off-white.
But their cries for silencing others are similar.

This demonstrates an utter misunderstanding of human nature and how things work. Oh and don't be so calm and civil. I can feel your anger, young Jedi, so don't be bothered by or afraid of it. A lot of people have a whole lot of growing up to do, and it is a painful process that I hope all survive.

Reactionary hogwash? Why, because I think people should take responsibility for their actions, for their lives and for the cultural indifference which leads to looking for mimetic scapegoats rather than accepting the fact that blacks as a proportion of the population account for a majority of the crimes, whether against people of other races or against that of their own? When a delusional group of people march about shrieking "black lives matter" and then set fire to their own neighborhood's businesses, and in effect drive away anyone with the resources and gumption to build the community, they should instead police their neighborhood to ensure their children can get to school without being shot up or raped, should volunteer to tutor school kids to better their grades and prepare them for college (instead of trying to get $15 per hour working at fast -food joints), and should act as surrogate parents because so many sperm donors have ditched their families so that single-parent families are the rule and not the exception. You want black lives to matter? Take responsibility, stop relying on hand outs, quit acting like helpless victims, and demand that your crime-driven youths need to be held accountable for their actions.

Funny, every Conservative I know keeps saying that There Is No Such Thing As A Violent Conservative™, that all acts of violence are perpetrated by Liberals, and that all of history's dictators have been left-wingers.

Augusto Pinochet, Juan Peron, Saddam Hussein, the Shah of Iran and Muammar Ghaddafi were far more liberal than those guys!

Good point. So people should stop comparing conservatives to fascists. It's merely an exaggerated, sensationalist straw man.

I think David is wrong as much as the next guy, but this doesn't really have much to do with the thread, or what David was actually talking about.
