    Woman across the aisle from me on flight to Hawaii has Fox News on the iPad and sleeping mask on her face. Literally allowing the dulcet tones of fascist propaganda lulling her to sleep. 

    I started going back to the gym a few months ago for the first time in a decade plus. I'll usually grab a treadmill towards the back and with it I can see all of the TVs on each individual treadmill or bike in front of me. No joke, 90% of people older than 60 are watching Fox News. I don't see a single person under 40 watching ANY news from any source. And this is in a blue area.

    Ha, folks mention they want a nice little summer hideaway and then the talk turns to "reasonably" priced digs at $3.5 million.

    Never change surly 1%!

    FIRE literally counts them and has to overcategorize (i.e. equate students protesting with actually cancelling a speaker's appearance) because there are so few.

    I noticed this too when scrolling through their database. They also treat equally a single student complaint that led to no action with a student complaint that led to a professor's dismissal. That's like saying a random tweet is as harmful as legislation passed and enforced.

    I mean, you don't need my permission to comment on whatever you like.

    I'm just pointing out that if there's any "moving backwards" as you cite, it's not coming from the younger generation, regardless of any intolerance they might or might not have.

    Overall I think they're likely more tolerant.  But those on the edges also seem to be more aggressive when trying to eliminate opposition ideas and speech.

    I edited my post, so I'll submit, but I'll only add that I guarantee you that these legal orgs have young lawyers and recent grads foaming at the mouth to do this stuff. 

    Just take a look at The Federalist Society in law schools. The difference from even ten years ago is pretty jarring

    That might be true, but it doesn't really address the topic of this thread, about the younger generation.  I don't believe it's the younger generation that's putting court cases in front of SCOTUS and other circuits.

     

     

    Are we not permitted to respond to individual posts and address the specific claims made within? 

    actually, upon re-reading the comment, I think this is a valid criticism. mea culpa

    Where is the evidence that this generation is more intolerant compared to prior generations? When I was in high school, if you came out as gay, you were ostracized. We’ve come a long, long way since then.

    Sure. But the same folks behind this incident are also actively working to get cases in front of SCOTUS to overturn Obergfell. 

    Also, go read the dissent in Lawrence v Texas and try to argue that that's not the current majority opinion of the court should a case be brought.

    It's going backwards.

    He's Maga. He's not smart. Somehow he fucking got into West Point. He's now a shitty congressman in a shitty district in Houston (yes mine), and He's making a play at running for Senator. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That felt good.

     

    Fuck him and his affinity for mushroom flavored, spray tained orange dicks.

    Also a St John's graduate. But I'm sure admission into both had nothing to do with race during the heyday of affirmative action.

    Cool.

    Please provide the proof that the boat blasted was drug runners.  And that everyone on board was Venezuelan.

    Just executing the fuck out of people without an actual adjudication that they are committing a crime is....a problem for societies that have this thing called "the Rule of Law."  These are not combatants, attacking or conducting preparations for an attack on the US.  They are - even if the accusation is true - just criminals transporting drugs.

    Do we get to blast any suspected "drug dealers" in US waters?  On US streets?  When RFK Jr. was dealing drugs in college, would it have been okay to have hit him with a Hellfire missile?  What about that guy who someone just accuses of dealing drugs, but really, the accusation is a lie?

    You're asking these questions in an attempt to highlight the absurdity of the logical extreme.

    The answer to all of your questions from our resident libertarians and constitutionalists is "yes."
