I think the person writing the article doesn't understand the difference between america and united states of america.
I'm not sure if i should read on.

"you do no seem to understand the importance of this subject so I'll just let you enjoy your sandbox"
-GeorgesI'm genuinely interested in what your answer is to my original question. What are you planning to do about it? How are you going to save the world from them?
That's the only 'important' aspect of this subject, yet you have ignored my questions in my original post regarding this (trying to open a discussion as requested) in favour of telling me I'm part of the problem and need to seek help.
Is it important to you to stop this kind of behaviour and attitude, or is it more important to you to simply point out others' lack of interest in it, in order to give you some sense of self worth and superiority?
So far all you've done is the latter, as usual.

I honestly thought Set, Yurimon and the Georges (I-MCXXXIVVV) were all the same person?
No?
They all tend to have the same patronising tone and presumption that other members know little or nothing about what they are talking about.- One of those three presumes we actually care what he talks about.Continuity
- Oh shit I forgot iMono.fadein11
- the other Georges have been in vacation, maybe I should bring them backGeorgesII
- I might mouth-off, but I don't assume anyone doesn't know what they are talking about like yuri doesmonospaced
- I don't think they're the same person but they're similar characters, for sure. Georges seemed surprised when I put him in the same box as Yurimon, haha.set
- thats funny cause i always thought fadeinII and set are the same persongilgamush

I read the article Yuri posted a few days ago and loved it. In particular this quote:
"Because there is a broad ban in academic circles on 'blaming the victim,' it is generally considered unacceptable to question the reasonableness (let alone the sincerity) of someone’s emotional state, particularly if those emotions are linked to one’s group identity. The thin argument 'I’m offended' becomes an unbeatable trump card. This leads to what Jonathan Rauch, a contributing editor at this magazine, calls the 'offendedness sweepstakes,' in which opposing parties use claims of offense as cudgels. In the process, the bar for what we consider unacceptable speech is lowered further and further."

The most reasonable concern of the article I think is that this kind of hyper-sensitivity to difficult subject matter results in a kind of self censorship, disabling us from actually processing the offenses of the past and or present.
Unfortunately (though there is controversy among resistance leaders on this topic) the oppressed must still have sympathy for their oppressors, and they must have some amount of patience to help them overcome the mentality that keeps both of them mired in injustice.
An open dialog is necessary, and that means tolerating mild offenses as we together struggle to empathize with one another.
*cough cough* ;)

The "American Idol" generation.

Essentially the media wrote similar articles about Generation X & Y.
- but surely the kind of poisonous discourse it's talking about is not productive. or do you think it is?sarahfailin

A bit of a rant so bare with me...
I think this speaks more to our societies inability to deal with trauma. This is the defense mechanism they developed along with their peers to deal with trauma they either directly experienced or experience through media or socialization. We can logically make the distinction that what we view online is not happening to us, but sometimes our bodies can't. We make associations on what is a threat and adapt to perceive similar events or groups as threats. Just look at how some of these SJW react when they confront their perceived enemies. Trauma causes us to react in irrational and sometimes violent ways.
They choose to deal with it through suppressing anything that would spark a memory of traumatic experiences. They're not dealing, they simply masking it, and it will blow at the slightest reminder of their past experience.
We evolved to deal with trauma through social circles. I think what we're seeing is our organism evolving to deal with a new reality of social bonding in an era of global communication. An era where were our habits as individuals are no longer bound to assimilate with the tribe. We can now find likeminded peers anywhere in the world, and all their healthy and unhealthy ways of dealing with experiences.
School administrators that are kow-towing to the student body complaints don't give two shits about these kids. Colleges and Universities are for profit businesses that are not there to prepare humans for life in the work force, professionally, psychically or psychologically. They are there to make money.

- Very eloquent and so true on many points, see my micro-rant below, a chicken mcnuggets version of your rantprophetone
- prophetone3
This all boils down to is two things imo:
A) we are raising a generation of wusses, and
2) everything is now 'chicken mcnuggets' - our interaction with life and friends, information gathering, habits, goals, etc. - quick and easy, greasy and cheap, and just really bad for you in the long term
