    Well, after today's MOAB drop, I'd be creeped out by any blood soaked bastard in the administration too.
    But, you don't show them the face of fear, it gives them a boner.
    And Pence has admitted he can't be trusted with a boner, he can't be around women.

    Just more bull shit designed to silence and censor anyone with a different opinion. It is their standard operating procedure.

    Still got a ways to go to catch up to Obama's blood soaked hands, but something tells me he'd be welcome on a university campus. :?:

    Hoooboy.

    And is "Jourdyhn" a name or a typo? Is it pronounced like "Jordan"?

    Students don't have the right to say they would prefer another commencement speaker? They should be censored?

    If it was just this one time you might have a point. As it is there is definitely an organized campaign to silence anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with snowflake orthodoxy. So, no, not only do you not have a point but further more schools actually do have a duty to expose students to wide variety of views not just people they agree with.

    You didn't know about this? Just about every single mom in the last 20 years has been obsessed with coming up with "unique" spellings for their little snowflake's name. 90% of them are simply retarded and doom their ill begotten little bastard to a lifetime of having their names misspelled.

    That is what happens when kids get given names that make it look like mom was an illiterate crack whore who couldn't spell it correctly.

    Pretty much this. As long as they're not calling for anyone to be forced to cancel the speech -- 'forced' being the operative word, whereas 'convinced' is fair game -- they have as much right to say that they disagree with the choice of speaker as the university has a right to stick to their choice and Pence has, in that case, a right to speak there.

    Sure they have every right to speak their mind. But everybody that's not a Millenial has the right to roll their eyes and say "hooooooooboy".

    Obviously they have the right to do so, but I'd challenge anyone to make an actual sensible argument for why a politician who wants to physically torture homosexuals until their sexuality is brainwashed out of them, and who is one heartbeat away from the most powerful office on the planet, shouldn't make you feel unsafe.

    Personally, I find shit like "snowflake orthodoxy" much more worthy of an eyeroll. :rolleyes:

    No, and why should he? Individuals who threaten people physically are all over the place. It's when political power and acceptance of that power is added that everyone has reason to feel unsafe. And yes, inviting the thug who holds these beliefs because he is close to power does signal that acceptance.

    Well that's more of a generality. Why would he be more of a threat in a school auditorium than he would in the White House?

    Typically it starts with fabricated claims that they feel "threatened" or "unsafe" that a person with a different point of view should be allowed to speak. Then it progresses to protests, which in and of itself is fine, followed by actively trying to prevent whoever they disagree with from even speaking. Shouting, blockading doors, making loud noises... All that is typical as are making bomb threats to try to get police to shut it down on safety grounds and then, all to often, comes the threats of violence followed by actual violence.

    All because someone dared to say something they don't like and disagree with. :(. The only thing dumber than that is Quest trying to defend this nonsense and shield them from the ridicule they so richly deserve.

    If that is really your argument, then you should only make it about people who actually are doing the latter. Everything up to that point is something you should not only accept but actively defend, if you do care about free speech. And in this story, we only have the exercise of free speech. Assuming they will do what amounts to the opposite of what they're reported as doing is an obvious fallacy.

    Unlike you, I don't think students deserve ridicule for exercising their first amendment rights. :shrug:

    I am saying it is following a pattern, a well know, well documented pattern, which we see liberal millennials do pn college campus after college campus all across the country. Hell, yes, this is more than just one speech.

    American Catholicism is very different from Pence's immoral and evil brand of Protestantism.

    No problem ... they're over 18.

    Horse shit.
    They grew up being taught that "free speech" means not just the right to speak, but the rights of others to tell you to go fuck yourself and shout you down.
    They grew up believing if they paid for something, it'd be satisfactory and functional.

    You're upset because they're rejecting what's being foisted upon them. They paid for steak, are being offered spam, and are rightly refusing it.
