Stop getting free speech wrong!

[Monty91]

“Critical discussion is simply a way of engaging in respectability politics,” said first-year Amelia Eskani. “I think Colorado College should cancel the screening because the safety and well-being of queer and trans* students surpasses the importance of a critical discussion.” …

It's almost as if these guys need to somehow amend their constitution to enshrine free speech and freedom of expression.

It's a strange, strange world and getting stranger all the time. I'm starting to suspect the millenials are possibly the most stupid, reactionary and wrongheaded generation ever.

[Monty91]

cowardice that leads to them defending the Allan Akbars. These people could have nipped this growing absurdity in the bud but they couldn’t bring themselves to do it, so entrenched is their hatred of their opponents.

Freedom of speech, worship and expression are fundamental tenets of a Liberal belief system.

This bizarre new orthodoxy runs in pretty much the opposite direction from Liberalism, it's almost completely authoritarian and scarily conservative.

[Berni]

wrongcocks.

There's always some special interest group who think their feelings are more important than other people's rights.

[Monty91]

They don't know whether they're men or women - and neither does anyone else

We mustnt other people, SW, no matter how tiny the constituency.

Well, apart from straights, of course.

do so is required to push their LIBERAL agenda and end goal of absolute equality.

Equality is their religion and trumps any other right or freedom – even those they once held dear.

It was quite an enlightening chat, she was a bangladeshi who I must say manages to rock the most glamorous and stylish headscarf. She seemed to think a lot of her friends who do cover up more, and less strikingly, find it a comfort at times and enjoy the need to only make up their eyes.

Herself, she seemed to think she'd miss covering her head and claimed to not be under the slightest pressure to do so from anyone. Mind you, she was divorced at the age of 22 so she's probably not your most average sample.

to encourage and even coerce them into what we can all agree is an objectively better way of living?

[Classic Jorge]

Surely you can see just how ILLIBERAL this stuff is, cant you? It's not liberalism, it's a new and very different orthodoxy.

I'm all for minority rights, respecting and embracing diversity etc but this stuff is just barmy.

Most of this minority rights stuff is just a figleaf to make it easier to address real social problems like the wealth/opportunity gap anyway. It's almost deliberately designed to cover up real, pervasive and much more structural inequalities.

I am going to have to retire...

[Classic Jorge]

You do realise this is almost exactly in line with their way of thinking, yes?

She seemed anything but ignorant to me.

[Classic Jorge]

Though I really would love to do some sort of FOI request about just how diverse the people who are Diversity Officers are.

I've yet to encounter a single male one.

[Monty91]

Are you honestly telling me you've encountered anyone either in person or in the media who holds these views and who you suppose doesn't also hold traditionally liberal views on issues such as wealth, taxes, the role of government, immigration, the environment, war and defence...?

Really?

way to live than dressing like a typical Westerner, then that is a form of ignorance, albeit one that is deep-rooted in her psyche (due to her warped and poisonous upbringing) and as such is no fault of her own.

[Classic Jorge]

I know many liberals, libertarian ones, who believe in all sorts of free market craziness, that guns and drugs should be legal and that the state should be much smaller.

I think you need to broaden your horizons a bit and stop trying to consume media that reinforces confirmation bias.

Because one person identifies with a whole set of policies commonly associated with one part of the spectrum it doesnt make them representative of the spectrum.

[eastgermanautos]

the hell do you mean you silly man?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

So much easier when you just had poofs, lezzers and freaks.

She seemed like a nice enough girl to me. She was funny, smart, attractive,

She seemed to have a more stable, happy and supportive family background than mine, christ they supported her through a divorce which is no mean feat in her community. No shame, no duty, just love and compassion.

The only rights we'll be left with is the one for lords to break in the virgins of their manor.

[Snin]

i assume you need a cloud-based Human Resources (HR) / Human Capital Management (HCM) application suite that integrates onboarding, social business and collaboration tools, a learning management system (LMS), performance management, recruiting software, applicant tracking software, succession planning, talent management, and HR analytics to deliver business strategy alignment, team execution, and maximum people performance to organisations of all sizes

if not then why not ? sign here , ill send you the download code

[IUFG]

we already have most of that nonsense.

for which we paid a great amount and still do in maintenance fees.

And then use about 25% of its capability as most of it is superfluous *******s...

[Snin]

they must have seen you lot coming :-) :yikes:

[Ashberto]

The inversion of meaning is Orwellian. See also, the liberal bigots who use the word 'bigot' to shut down other people's freedom of expression.

[IUFG]

might get round to using the other modules in time...

you shysters only charge annual fees for something else, anyway.
as bad as recruitment agents... ;-)

[Snin]

no cost like :-)
