Don't Speak!

Post by SHMIV »

A college is now suggesting that students only speak when "necessary", in order to avoid any instance of "microaggression". The campaign is called "Language Matters".

At the moment, it seems like a micro-movement, but I could easily see school policy coming from this.

Gotta ban them "assault" words. Especially the verbose (hi-cap) ones.

I like aggravating idiots, especially large groups of them. It's my own movement called macroaggression, aka FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

I wonder what their survival rate would be if we start a war with Russia or China (or both) and a draft will be imposed.

Look at all those "black" words on the link. It's scary to me.

If I was there as a student, I would walk around cursing like a champ and using derogatory stereotypes to address everyone. Il be damned if I'm going to put up with that crap.

enforcing my theories about the decreasing value of a university education.

decreasing almost to the point that an online university is starting to look more viable so you don't have to interact with some of the types you'll be forced to interact with if you go to a university in person. :friends:

The greater point would be, " Why would anybody pay good money to attend such an institution?"

The engineer in me says...

It takes 1,000,000 micro-aggressions to make 1 aggression.

It will take more than 499,999 micro-aggressions before you can even "round up" to 1 aggression!

You got some real work ahead of you if you want to "aggress"! :coffee:

Need to find a peaceful valley somewhere that we can inhabit much like they did in Atlas Shrugged.

If all of us remove ourselves from society and withhold the means of production, the morons who are left will be ruled by the elites, who will control the means of production and enslave the dolts to produce useless things they'll be forced to buy so that can get company scrip to spend on limited useless merchandise at the company store.

You haven't seen me in rare form. It would only take about 2000000 microseconds. LOL
