certainly not. was criticizing those who demand free speech zones to air their neo Nazi beliefs. Because, if they had their ways, there certainly would be no free speech

Well... I can agree with the first sentence. The second? I doubt 98% of all people MATTER — sounds like way too big of a percentage to me. :D The real point, though, is this: where in today's main public "debate" :rolleyes: is this "far left wing"? Obviously it's not CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times or The Washington Post. It's not even Bill Maher. Shit, it's not even Noam Chomsky (not that he's anywhere to be seen on media outlets like the ones I just mentioned). So, for purposes of discussing the Trumpocalyptic context in which we live, it's rather irrelevant... Unless, of course, one's willing to be sucked into the pathological vortexes of horseshit that are Faux News AND Schunk's bunk.

Train Carrying Republican Lawmakers to Retreat Crashes Into Garbage Truck

"This is proving to be extraordinarily hard work", a first responder said. "I hadn't noticed before, but garbage looks remarkably like Republican lawmakers. It's pretty difficult to tell a real live turd from one of these fuckers".

perogative? my perogi, rather

aaaand this is what your petty drunken self is really about behind the syntax, Q.E.D.

I was worried I went too far, but anyone who matters seems to get I was demonstrating I'm not PC or mindlessly virtue signaling.

Still, apologies to any mentally handicapped homosexuals I may have upset. Please know that should push come to shove, I got your back.

something I'd like to add, certainly don't need any internecine rancor. All oppo to the right wing is acceptable.

Yep. Still right there with you on this.

Fine. But can we agree there are bigger fish to fry?

I'll make a deal: let's first work together to purge our country of right-wing killers, and then I'll do what I can to solve the problem of snowflake students and wussy administrators.

haa haaa haaa

haaa haaaa haaaa haaaa

yeah

academia, like any field, has it's hells and it's heavens.

* its and * its

BOOM! You’ve been academiated! Welcome to hell! ;)

hahahha. I am the Graduate Documentation Coordinator for the University of Houston Graduate School.
At least in academia you can hold intelliogent conversations with your co-workers, as opposed to the inane drivel that passes for conversation at a corporate gig or at a large law firm (both of which I have suffered through)

anytime you use that expression you are doing it.

President Donald Trump “didn’t really care” about opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling until a friend of his in the industry asked him to, he said during a speech Thursday.

Speaking to Republicans at the party’s annual retreat in West Virginia, Trump said he was convinced to put a provision in his tax bill that would open up part of the wildlife refuge to oil and gas companies after one phone call with a friend “who’s in that world and in that business.”

Recounting the phone call, Trump told lawmakers: “He said, Ronald Reagan, and every president, has wanted to get ANWR approved. And after that, I said, oh, make sure that’s in the bill. It was amazing how that had an impact, that had a very big impact on me… I really didn’t care about it and then when I heard that everybody wanted it, for 40 years they’d been trying to get it approved, I said make sure you don’t lose ANWR.”

Lol. I was just fucking with ya. Ballsy to put your job title up online though. Careful with that.

Yeah, I’m sure your setting is a better on than most bullshit corporate office gigs. I’ve been there too.

Anyway, academia in general is preferable to right-wing America in general, but I’m not sure why we’d be comparing the two. Two completely different kinds of hell.

This is so off-topic, I’m very sorry.
Who said there are bigger fish to fry? Because that person was right.
