Here at MRCTV, we're really enjoyed poking fun at just how ridiculous our college campuses have become. Because seriously, if you bring in kittens and coloring books to help adult college students deal with a presidential election, you deserve to be mocked and shamed. And as long as they keep crying, we’ll keep laughing.
Unfortunately, there’s a much more serious side to this issue. This nation is running a very dangerous and very, very real chance of being handed over to a generation who thinks that the best way to handle your differences is to scream, whine and pout. It used to be that we solved this impulse back in kindergarten when we were taught how to share our blocks with the other little boys and girls. Now, we not even allowed to differentiate between boys and girls, and if you get your adult feelings hurt in your underwater basket weaving class and decide to have a good cry about it, you get a lollipop and a puppy.
It's time to call out this issue for what it really is -- a increasingly dangerous problem.

PING!
Can this snowflake thing be related to people not doing their jobs properly? My new pet peeve, which I am tempted to do a whole vanity about. I have been observing people who do and people who don’t, and the ones who don’t causing great inconvenience to the people they have agreed to serve.
Particularly annoying in pharmacies. What is the reason for this? Grandma got misdosed by a snowflake?
even alinski was smart enough to laugh at his enemies.
Yes, the only bright thing about being an aging person is that I most likely won’t be around when these people start to take control. That is when the jig is up and the country falls. I’m not sure what these people now in control think they are creating for their old age, but it won’t be nirvana that’s for sure.
I never thought any of it is funny.
The snowflakes who are so self-centered they refuse to have children-—who will take care of them when they are old?
FWIW, the Trump thing bids fair to stir this pot up REAL good. Major trajectory change. The intimidation of the snowflakes will, er, melt away.
I have thought about having children, but I just know kids would drive me up the wall.
Some people are stoic enough to have children; the rest of us aren’t.
Snowflakedness is a side effect of the siren song of the lefties.
Righties really don’t need to be mean to overcome this, in fact it could hinder the process. Snowflakes result when people are whipped up into being worry warts. It may make righties feel a little like parents assuring the kids that no, there is no monster under the bed, that was only a bad dream. But that has a better result than just mocking them. Like it or not, these people WILL be the future generation, and gratuitous hate really oughtta be dumped out.
Yes, but it will only be accomplished by threatening the schools with loss of Federal money. These schools are not providing what their customers are paying for. They have become nothing more than extremely overpriced babysitting factories, with overcompensated babysitters.
Not really.
I hate to have to say this but not even the majority of the college students are this way. Most are just doing the best they can to get that piece of parchment that means that they will get considered for a job.
And many of them are leaving schools that are getting too loony toons because they understand that the value of their degree (and thus their chances of getting a job) is diminished by these type of shenanigans.
They are more like the hippie generation of the sixties. A small percentage that will likely go into academia and entertainment if they ever work at all.
I have a hunch Donald Trump is going to spear head the move of school funding (and program direction) issues back to individual states anyhow. We may see surprises when this happens, like what used to be the poorest states NOT having the worst schools any more.
I think if people are honest enough to not want children, they definitely are not candidates to have children. For whatever reasons. Many realize the massive gravity of the responsibility of raising good kids and the dedication that requires, and believe in not half-assing it for the rest of us. I wish more people thought harder before phoning it in and doing a piss-poor job and giving us ferals and multi generational welfare minded gimmefreesh1tters.
And too.. currently stereotypically redneck state schools tend to really stink academically. But born and bred rednecks are probably better at learning a minimum of competency skills then being turned out as entrepreneurs in family businesses, if that is their individual bent. Diluting the school performance with hundreds of bored silly rednecks who don’t want to be there and who can cope without it, BUT who happen to be heavily subsidized by Uncle Sugar so the schools fight hard to keep them, really doesn’t make that much sense. They’ll probably actually be sharper on real issues, like civics and patriotism.
You mean like the Purple Nut Lady in Madison today?

Screeching that this is “her” America to the chorus of 5 people chanting “Shame” isn’t much of an opus.
Not that’s it’s “our” America too, or anything.

It's been said having children is like being pecked to death by a chicken.
Learning to care about what needs to be cared about can be a life time things.
Some lives, not their own fault, start out in poisonous circumstances. If you don’t think you can love the kids the right way, it would be a huge mistake to get them for ego fodder. That just spreads the poison. Though it would be hoped that even those would have enough conscience that if they had a one night stand, bring the kid to birth and have it adopted.

Muzzies - briefly anyway.
