I did not know that Emory offered a degree in co-dependency.

But the very idea that allowed students to speak up — especially those who felt attacked by the Drumpf chalkings — is under siege by those very same student protesters. The legendary U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote that “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants,” and this holds true here. Institutionally prohibiting an ignorant, hurtful or violent idea does not destroy it; it allows the idea to grow and worsen in the shadows, far from the moderating effects of public scrutiny. The best way to destroy an idea is to confront it."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I am beginning to detest a certain segment of Millennials. This coddling of them will hurt them eventually sometime in the distant or not too distant future."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

The response from the Editor-in-Chief of the student paper was about as reasonable as could be expected under the circumstances:

More entertaining comments on that one too."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Clay Travis, a sportswriter who I discovered when he was writing about the Mizzou protests, wrote a hilarious column about the current insanity at Emory. A snippet:
"WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!"
Motherfuckers, you are going to a school that costs $65,000 a year, you are not slaves. The only people in chains here are your parents, who probably should have beaten your spoiled asses with a cat o'nine tails so you didn't grow up to be such huge pussies.
"You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!"
IN PAIN!
You know who is in pain, billions of people in the world who don't have enough to eat. You know who isn't in pain? People who read something written in chalk on a campus sidewalk. I'm pretty sure Jesus himself said that somewhere in the New Testament.
You know who else was in pain? Your great-grandfathers when they stormed the beaches of Normandy and got riddled with bullets. Your pussy asses will protest chalk on campus, but you'd be too busy bitching about the spotty wifi on the troop carriers and taking selfies of you in front of the German pillboxes to actually storm the beaches and fight Nazis.
Then the student quotes got worse:
"I'm supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here]," one student said. "But this man is being supported by students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well ... I don't deserve to feel afraid at my school."
So this student is afraid of chalk opinions? Is this real life? That's the standard of fear now.
And how dare some students on your campus have a different opinion than you? HOW DARE THEY NOT AGREE WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING?

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

These kids need to know that there's nothing wrong with opposing viewpoints that they don't agree with, and that they are not harmed by this.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

Hell, if anybody deserves a trigger warning when it comes to political candidates it's me. I'm rich and Bernie Sanders wants to take my money and give to these dumbass pussies so they can go to college for free. I'm triggered as fuck when I hear that. America ain't my safe space, bro.Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.
