This needs to stop. I hear Halloween was once a cool holiday, now it's like a PC cluster****.
For the past few years on Halloween I've done crazy shit with my best friend
2013: Ate weed brownies and got really drunk
2014: Smoked a lot of weed and got really drunk
2015: Got extremely baked
2016: LSD Trip
2017: tried Shrooms the day before halloween, which is technically cheating the tradition but oh well, we both had shit we needed to do today

When I was like 14 I was the killer from Scream. I had the mask and the black cloak thingy, etc. After that if I ever wore a costume I just kinda tossed the mask on, but no cloak.Do you guys think I offended any serial killers? I hope not. I didn't know how to check my privilege back then.
As a serial killer, no you did not.
Lol so wait:
The political ad is...I guess some racist dude in a pick up truck with a confederate flag driving around harassing kids? I don't even know. These people are insane.
Ohh the truck has an "Ed Gillespie" sticker on it. Well, okay?
^^^LOL! The ad has been pulled, but too late. The racist ad apparently caused donations to Gillespies campaign to TRIPLE. Oh leftists...
They claim they took it down because of the conservative reaction, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact a white Gillespie supporter is being portrayed chasing down minority kids with a truck and...whoops, guess who just actually did mow down people with a truck? Not a white guy.
Also wait, isn't this the SAME state where you had the minority girl murdered(a muslim) by...an illegal immigrant?
Are they going to learn that this hysterical identity politics bullshit is just costing them more and more votes? I feel like you have a small child who just can't figure out that fire is bad and will burn you if you touch it.
A professor tore into a Muslim female student on a paper; now the school is investigating
The professor was more or less correct in what he said, but he spoke the truth about Islam so...he will be fired. Just watch.

If they were writing a critical essay and she tried any of that stuff, fair enough. But this was a basic reflective piece about a pop song... his reaction was unnecessary and unprofessional imo. Nothing to do with politics if he gets suspended (not necessarily fired, but that deserves a suspension until he realises how to actually behave as an authority figure).

Indeed and I wonder if they do fire him...how will they tip toe around it? They can't say "you're gone because you lied about Islam" because he didn't.
So they essentially need to find a non-offensive way of saying he spoke the truth, but just did it in a rude way.
Originally posted by SurturWell, they're going down the 'discrimination' route, which I think is unnecessary considering his conduct is bad regardless of who he was speaking to. Any professor who tells a student "you really do need to shut up" needs a good bit of discipline. Of course this will become another Trump/Islam/free speech/triggerfest on all sides, even though the situation and solution is much more simple than all of that. It doesn't matter if what he said had factual basis, that isn't the issue here; the issue is his unprofessional conduct. Same goes for liberal professors who do the same thing.

You're right. They are still making the same mistakes that got people to vote for Trump.
Remember me talking about the dudes at the gym who talk politics with me and voted for Trump? They went from "vote for Trump because Hillary is terrible" to "Trump is looking like the greater of two evils, now" to "holy shit, the dems are far more corrupt than I thought and it looks like they tried to take Trump's campaign down in 2016."
So, yeah, Trump voters are all over the place, now.
Oh, and, my former boss at work is a Democrat. Quite a staunch one, too. Didn't vote for Hillary and didn't like her. He loathes Trump, though.
What do these anecdotes all mean? Represents what happened in the election and how people are feeling about US Politics.
