This is what is wrong with millenials today

  1. Hm, I was 17. The internet did become very time consuming. But I never sold out my ninjas from the 80's. Now the time has come for us to rise! Rise my brethren! Behold! Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Surveys are notoriously unreliable. The truth is that people don't really know what they want or what they believe, not to mention the myriad of biases that distort the validity of self-reports.

    Plus, the author of this article obviously has an agenda, you can tell by the way he phrases things. He claims that "Young Americans also are disproportionately skeptical of free speech." What is the evidence of this? He states: "40 percent of millennials (ages 18 to 34) believe the government should be able to regulate certain types of offensive speech." What does this mean? From this statement, I don't think you can conclude that millennials are skeptical of free speech. The author goes on to make multiple false statements. This article is a strawman.

    Some Millennials think some speech should be restricted according to some unreliable survey data = ALL MILLENNIALS HATE FREEDOM.

    LOL Don't worry, you shouldn't have to. As an individual you can choose to know. :-D

    Everyone should be given equal rights, though. The reason why equal rights is so front and center is because many people didn't have any rights at all back in American history. The pendulum was due to swing eventually, but if everyone was given equal rights from the beginning - women, African Americans, LGBT community, etc...then, there wouldn't have been such an outcry over the injustices of so many.

    A lot of wrongs had to be righted, in my opinion.

    Equal rights to me is certainly different. Equal rights is positive I agree with equal rights to an extend unless its people who have no motivation seeking the same benefits as people who are motivated and things like that. If a 40hr week person is given a benefit, then I won't agree that someone not working is entitled to that benefit pending on that benefit. If you know what I mean.

    But pretending that we were all born equal, as in that black person is the same as that Chinese person who's in turn the same as some westerner then no, that's laughable, this "human race" is all fluff.

    We can identify that a pit bull is a pit bull and a Shepherd a Shepherd. We know they're both dogs, we know they're different species. But when it comes to humans, they want to lump us all in one catagories which to me is more racist than stating the obvious, that a Negro is not the same as a Norseman.

    Segregating all culture into one human race is only detrimental to humans IMO. I'd rather live in a world where cultural differences are recognised, explored and celebrated as cultural differences rather than sit and pretend that we really are the same with different traditions.

    Thats where I find flaws with equality. Because we aren't all born equal. I was born with developing eye problems, 1/20,0000. So that tells me that 19, 999 people are different to me in a football stadium. If there's 80,000 people then 79,996 are different. That's far from equal. So it might just be a poor choice of words or something, and political correctness but I wish they'd stop using the term "human race" and "all born equal" because the theory is flawed.

    And that's where this new age generation is a problem, because they want to be so correct and right and fair that they simply just, make shit up and if you don't agree or feel the same, you'll be constantly harassed for your personal different UNEQUAL opinions, just like the majority of fools do to you on social media forums...

    LULZ[sic] I feel so millenialistic :-D Motivation? No, I don't know what you mean, unless you're saying Gunther has to want to be a wage slave to the same degree as Helga or he won't get the same cut of the bratwurst? Maybe competition for brownie points by championing the rat race could become an extracurricular activity whereby everyone wins! Yippee!



    You got beef with the human race?! lol Are you suggesting that any of the races that comprise it aren't human afterall?

    Pretty sure I said I got a problem with the term human race, but sure you can put words on my mouth if you want.

    I'm not human though. I'm straight up descended from the gods bro. Fashioned in their appearance, is why I'm so damn good lookin'. ;)

    Oh and English is only my second language, so I'm excused if you interpret things the wrong way, but aye I even checked there at the end. I said term. =p

    Ah, forgive me mein gottin! lol And so I must beg of you in the most formal terms then, how does the term human race offendeth thee? What hath mankind purloin'ed fromst thou purse of pride to warrant such ire towards this particular name? Is it that the so-called 'race' appears to lack a goal?

    If you're straight down descended from the gods, where have you left to go!? Thou seemest more Hel than Freyja! :-D

    You must rise to the divine, kid! Your precious origins, like all history, belong to the past, baby! ;-D

    Well I thought I was pretty clear when I said what I don't like about the term the "human race" because like I said we aren't a singular race. It is a political correctness terminology. A Chinese person isn't the same as a African who's not the same as a Englishmen. I know people try not to be color blind but come on, there's a significant difference in all those 3 people and it should take you all too long to work that out.

    So they branch us all into the "human race" and that's what annoys me. Because we are humans yes but I'm not the same race as the African or the Chinese or anything like that.

    Like I said, if we can clearly identify the difference of species in the animal kingdom, why can't we do that with humans? Why must we umbrella ourselves under one "race". With a very high number of people actually believing we came from monkeys making us animals, the smartest animals of all, how can they be so stupid to look the other way on races and umbrella us as one?

    Because we aren't one race of people. Far from it.

    Its just his new generation and people trying to so the right thing by not hurting anyone's feelings and it's really just the sad pathetic white people who've been shamed into cowardice that do so, the ones too afraid to speak up and say you know what, that black fella ain't the same as this white fella.

    I'm willing to bet that a high number of folks from all walks of life other than white westerners thing to themselves "fuck I'm glad I'm not like that lot" and they're exactly right in thinking that.

    Black lives matter, well not in the "human race" perspective, but you see, they don't view themselves as us. And they shouldn't. Good for them. :)

    And the Asian too, they know they aren't branched as a race with the rest of us. That's why Japan has a population of like 96% Japanese. They don't open their doors to everyone, because everyone is not Japanese and they're correct.

    But not millennial white folks! Too shamed to say the right things, gotta sugar coat that so someone don't get offended.

    LOL

    Actually, we are one race of people, one piece, one symphony, cacophony, etc etc. One composition, human, bearing many variations on a theme, your theory that we came from the gods notwithstanding. One might imagine that gods, in the minds of the more godlike amongst us, would make more gods, better gods, as opposed to races of humans to gad about as their playthings... But then one might also imagine that the more godlike among us stop imagining gods when they reach adulthood. lol :-D

    Let's make one thing really crystal clear: You know nothing about me. Zero. You simply assume.

    As for the thinking part: you might want to calm yourself down a little before you have a blow-out. It might help your thinking.

    If you look closely in most cases where speeches are cancelled it is the inviting university doing the cancelling after students make their voices heard. And usually what you get when you say or do something controversial is, well, controversy. Like Charles Murray for example.

    Janet Mock cancelled her talk because she didn't want the controversy. No violence involved.

    Just like you make a lot of false claims. You're positively foaming at the mouth.

    You have a nice day now.

    What he's talking about is my choice of word "species & race" which I only use as to lighten the load of the word breed, which I find rude and choose not to use it. Like, a species will encumbers all dogs as a whole. So what I am saying with the words that I use is incorrect and that's pretty much his little diss on me there. :D

    Tbh I don't even like the word human and won't use it often either.

    But anyway, because people can't obviously see the difference between humans, this cow breed chart might enlighten.

    [​IMG]

    Now, as you can clear see, these are all cows. :). Big dopey mamma brown cows and white cows. :)

    These cows aren't equal. That don't look equal, their duties aren't equal, they all just resemble a cow, black cows and grey cows. Big dopey big daddah cows :)

    And this is what I'm saying. We weren't born equal, so they gotta stop with that. It's a flat out lie. And when they tell me they're saying in political terms, as in, we all start out together, with a future and hope well that's a gawd dawn lie too!!! Come on guys!

    No, really they are. We're not any other animal vg, you goddamn neanderthal! :-D

    No diss over your choice of words. Just a little immature incredulity on my part that you would dismiss evolution! lol If you feel I have displayed the barest hint of schadenfreude, I can only give you my word that such a thing is not native to my nature, but one of several culturally conditioned interpretations of what may generally be called a sense of humour. :-D

    Now, back to your descent. I'm still wondering. What use are your superhuman forebears?! Are we, or are we not becoming gods in your mythology?

    I wouldn't even want to be a god, too much responsibility. Instead I just want their blood, so I can have demigod powers, but without all the counsels and meetings and no fun. :D

    And i'm not evolved in my mythology either. Like, I dunno what anyone else is, monkey people they think, that's all cool they can be that, but not me. ;) not Irm! she's no evolved monkey ape. lol.

    Regarding human race, race implies different species, mongoloid, Caucazoid, negroid, etc. People like to assume and use human race as if it is one and implies one vbut it is actually distinct and recognizes differences. If people want to believe that life started in Africa and that they were descendants of apes and all the same people, when the evidence is not there, not my problem.

    Ghost, you clearly know nothing of me other wise you would not assume I need to calm down or that I am foaming at the mouth. Cause that could not be further from the truth. Yes I assumed you Might be young, but ask stated IF you are not, and said even IF you are not. IF for a lot of what I wrote. Bravo for you for taking my small list of 5 or 6, when there is a lot more and finding one that did not result in violence., but you are wrong. There was violence prior towards Jewish people because of this event and leading up to it which was directly related. There was violence. She was denied a platform because of 160 racist people who signed a petition and made threats which were listened to. Made a lot of false accusations lies regarding isreal, like,

    http://www.browndailyherald.com/2016/03/17/mock-cancels-lecture-amid-student-protest/
    So isreal mistreats the LGBT community? Wow let me know how being gay works out in a Muslim country!

    The lecture had nothing to do with isreal, but for the fact that it was sponsored by and held in a Jewish hall., that was open for all. To come and listen.

    Not to mention Marcy house (Jewish facility) at browns university was vandalized with anti semetic graffiti and claims Jews hate LGBT diuring this time. So yeah, no violence at all. So do you want to try again?

    That Jewish sponsor was not the only sponsor, yet social justice for Palestine managed to shut down the event, and unjustly so with vandalism, threats and propaganda bs
