Being that fox does at least get BOTH sides of the argument on, where as most of the rest of the media seem to only do the one side (i can't remember the last time they had a conservative pundit on MSNBC), it certainly shows fox etc are 'more balanced' compared to the rest..
Well, if you invite a political figure to do a CAMPAIGN STOP in your church, then you should expect him to talk politics, such as attacking his adversary..

BUT that said, the #s are no where close to the amount of times i have heard of it happening from liberal colleges.
When you go looking for patterns, people tend to find them.

On the 'blacks have no jobs, hope etc.. Where was trump wrong though? Under Obama's regime, their unemployment #s have gone UP...
The Black unemployment rate is about twice of the white one, true, but both have been falling for years now.
Just another Trump Dump.

Talking in parables might work in the bible, it does not work for you, sorry.
I agree with there being too much political correctness being pushed on folks who aren't allowed to say anything, lest the person being spoken to gets the least amount offended
Give me -specific- examples of what you are not allowed to say that does not deserve to be derided in context.
If your are incapable of doing it............
-- jeeze, try that in the work office about some job project being incorrectly done, and suffer the scolding that occurs in the process.. If school/college aged people are now that fragile, how are they *ever* going to cope in the long-term, REAL working world..?
Please.
Then you get to see what these "greatest generation" did with what they were given, they covered their own arses, did not want to pay for it and now they cry that there is no money left in the kitty and leave a broken system that they are entirely responsible for and have the audacity to complain. They live off the greatness of those who came before, and dump on those that will come next.
Employers trying to provide customer service business to the rest of the world, won't tolerate slackers and whiny, insecure folks for too long, lest it bring down the productivity levels that supports their salaries.
But I wasn't referring to "safe spaces" like hiding in a closet from verbal chastising (job related) or insults (from any person in any neighborhood).
I was referring to there aren't any (or many) SAFE places left on this planet to be safe from physical injury. People casually walking down the street, or strolling thru the park -- not safe from bandits or molesters. Kids can't even be left alone at a school bus-stop, because of creeps waiting in the shadows or nearby car to kidnap some child. Females, regardless of their age, aren't totally safe from sickos (usually men, but other women, also) with ill intentions.
Crawl underground in case of war/chaos event, and I've seen discussion boards with an opposing person (supposedly joke) claim they'll hunt down your stash of food and other sheltered belongings for their own survival too--even break into the bunker, so they've declared.
Geographically, no where *seems* totally SAFE. If there is such a place, there may be other issues, like water/land pollution or horrible weather occurrences--then, there's no safe health place, environmentally speaking, including where sick people are out and about shopping or working--because they *have* to--they might not have anyone else to help them out. Not to also mention window shopping at a mall, and then dealing with what a St. Cloud, Minnesota mall (USA) just dealt with this weekend. Crazy guy on warpath "for Allah" and the Islamic State claims support of this event.
It's situations and events like that -- that I meant no more *safe* PLACES. Sometimes, we humans need to rest to restore our day's lost energy. Not rest six feet under (dead)..! Or end up in some hospital bed pumped up with meds to calm us down.
Some of us are under tremendous amounts of stress. It may be financial or health or both, or even family related. However, the world's various hostile situations just add to those levels of stress.. Try turning a blind eye to it, til it ends up in (generic) your neighborhood or during your travels. Grant it, that isn't what happens everywhere... but just this weekend alone, Minnesota Mall had a violent attacker on the loose -- dressed as in a security uniform.. Oh, that's a helpful soul.. NOT. Can't trust just anyone based on their appearance status. And one psychopath, out of how many semi-normal people on this planet isn't enough to be alarming to some.. that's nice for the naysayers.
Also (in the USA this weekend), school is in session now. A seashore park in NJ experienced a pipe bomb coincidentally on the same path as a charity 5K (marathon) run was in progress. Sounds almost like Boston, Massachusettes all over again. If that wasn't enough, there was a bombing incident in NYC, as well -- still under investigation. Oh, and there was another incident in Florida where some naked person broke into someone's house, bit the person inside, and then died. What is wrong with the people on this planet??
Desperation?
Stupidity?
Do you think any of these concepts are new?
That is what I am referring to with having *safe* places. This world is turning itself upside down. NOT all, but some of (probably about 20%) of the people are regressing into satisfying their violent appetites.

Notwithstanding the words Gateworld will bleep out, I say, let it rip.

Nevertheless, Stormtroopers come to mind.

I don't care if you or anyone else thinks it should be derided. The right to express one's views should be absolute. The listener can decide if it's worthy or not.

Those doing the shouting down are not stoping people from expressing their views, they have merely decided that what is being said is not worthy of hearing.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

But it's typical. Silence the opposition, rather than allow the ideas to be heard.
