Can't wait to see what other embarrassing things Mizzou does before the week is over.

That has to be fake. Call the authorities when you are offended?

So Mizzou is on the verge of intellectual suicide.

If that were LSU, I'd put all of my purple and gold gear in a box and light it on fire.

they've been doing that for years

the whole point of "safe spaces" is to restrict speech

that censorship is why they're "safe"

While true, it can't be that surprising.

Between this and schools deciding arbitrarily to punish students for unsupported claims of sexual assault, the entire country should be mortified.

That e-mail is the single most horrifying thing I've seen today. Freedom of Speech is in some real danger.

Behind closed doors, we are. But when you can't disagree without being called a bigot, racist, or someone who condones rape via catchy phrases on Twitter, it's easy to put your head in the sand.

Yep. The feminist community deciding that "rapist" was as powerful as "racist" and trying to similarly distort the meaning of the term was honestly pretty brilliant.

I do think it'll be beaten back more easily, but it was a shrewd move. "Sexist" just didn't have enough oomph.

This. I highly recommend it, it's a great and very readable book on the topic of mass movements and the people who tend to join them.

FWIW, it describes mass movements of any persuasion - SJW's, Progressives, Tea Partiers, etc.

MUPD: What's your emergency?
Me: Someone called me fat
MUPD: Can you provide a description of the perp?
Me: I tried to chase him, but I'm fat.

WTF? No way they'd actually police freedom of speech or association.






Missouri is really turning out to be a joke both on and off the field.

You're a smart guy. What's your take on this surge of social justice and privilege checking, and should we do something about it? If the answer is yes, what do you think should be done?

Very true.


I had a philosophy professor in college. Brilliant man, probably the most brilliant man I know. He was my mentor.

Anyways, we were talking one day about power. I think we had just finished The Prince. He was going on and on and he said, "If you want to conquer the world, you don't need arms. You just need to change the dictionary."

At first I was like WTF?! This dude has lost it. Now, I get it.

Post 9/11: "YOU DON'T LIKE THE PATRIOT ACT?! YOU MUST NOT BE A PATRIOT!"

SJW ERA: "YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE WHITE PRIVILEGE?! YOU'RE A RACIST!"
