I also feel social media plays a huge part in their behavior. Knowing that you have a platform to be a crybaby and reach the masses only encourages this sort of thing.

These kids who are currently trending very liberal will become more conservative with age. Sure, when they reach their ripened state of relative moderatism they'll have more soft spots for minorities and stuff than current 50 year olds do, but can't you see that about current 50 year olds in comparison to current 80 year olds?
These kids suck but it's not the end of the world. They grew up in the United States where there are very few real problems, but the adolescent brain makes it so that you feel the need to carve out a rebellious identity. That's why 18-25 year olds have always been the best to send to war - they want to passionately fight for something and prove their worth. These pricks are not valiant, but they think they are. They'll grow up.

I disagree with this. I don't think she's getting any support. She made a total fool of herself. She didn't look like she was standing up to injustice, but she was being a whiny little child, who doesn't know how to have an adult conversation. Which is exactly what she is.For example, take that whiny bitch from Yale. Then shes going to post on social media. Then a bunch of like minded drones are going to support her. Then shes going to go viral. then her opinion becomes rule, and any disagreement is publicly shamed through the same unchecked media that gave her opinion credence. End result, you cant speak freely.

The above post should be framed and hung in the Old Blowhard hall of fame.Because their parents gave them timeouts instead of discipline.
they had play dates instead of actually organizing and overseeing activities and games
they've gotten a trophy for participation since 4 year old soccer
and you can't fail kids in school because god forbid johnny feels bad for not being able to read.
That I'll agree with.Was using her as an example. But look at the Caitlyn Jenner issue. Two years ago transgender wasnt even thought of. Now you cant mention the word without offending someone and being dubbed ignorant. Well, what if i happen to think transgender is bullshit? Im a social pariah overnight. In what court? On whose authority?
Social media dictating our values is not a good thing.

I'm not all over this story, so maybe I missed the hard-hitting stuff. But if anyone on this newsgroup is privy to that info, then I'd be interesting in hearing it.
Concerning the Missouri stuff. I'm not saying what is being protested about isn't happening. I'm not there. I'm not a black student on that campus. However, will any or has any hard evidence/data depicting institutional racism been offered up? You know, something you can look at and say, man that's not fair. That needs to be changed. Or, are some random racial epithets by idiots and a possible swastika made of shit all we need to to start overthrowing administrators? Just wondering....

1.What is an appropriate tax rate that's not too high?
2. Doesn't the US tax rate line up on the low end of first world countries?
3. What current spending would you cut? Please be realistic.
Please address these otherwise it just sounds like rich guy whining.
I am not going to get into the political aspects of this thread.Constant protests. Bunch of spoiled entitled politically correct cretins running amok crying about every perceived slight.
When did this start?
Do you honestly think defunding Welfare is a good idea?

Just saying the only demonstration I remember in my undergrad days at Nova was when we hung the football coach in efeigy. Yes you hoops guys , we hung the football coach, Frank Reagan. Some time in the late 50's.
This goes beyond carving out a rebellious identity. Kids have done that since forever. It's more about the climate of being the thought police and having outrage over every perceived slight with no accountability. Basically they all need a punch in the face and to be told to STFU but as pointed out their asshole parents just gave them a timeout and patted their heads instead.
Thanks for sharing, Krazy. I like a well thought out opinion.
Does #1 mean no federal income tax other than for corporations?
Cruz's journalism comment was a zinger, but factually hollow.
defunding welfare is not a good idea. the goal of the program should be to continually reduce the # of people on it over time. the govt. administrators who run the program should have salary/bonuses based on how many people they transition from welfare to full-time employment through job training & placement activities.
Ha...can't make anything better than that up...Turns out the Yale student yelling "who the f hired you?" In the video was in the search committee that in fact hired him.

Thanks for the graph/info. The data I quoted was based on the top tax bracket in each country.Also, in regards to #2, from the tax foundation:
So
1. No Personal Income Tax
2. Slash corporate income tax in half
3. ????
4. Better, more stable country and economy!!!
Not sure I'm following that one all the way thru.
Need more data/analysis on the nature of welfare recipients before we just start yanking the rug out from under people. I guess we could send them all to dishwashing/landscaping/hotel maid jobs if you're going Trump on immigration. Take all that sweet IRs money and build a dedicated deportation railroad accroas the border?
The Mizzou protest again. This time blocking a reporter from covering the event which I don't get. I thought they wanted coverage for their antics. The end is priceless. Professor of media journalism asks for some "muscle" to help remove the student journalist. Wow.
Would all the laid off govt employees take the deported illegal immigrant criminals' jobs in this plan?
Doesn't lowering the tax rate also provide incentive not to invest in tax free govt bonds thus crippling state and local govts?
