Kinda' like many people online (including this place) that talk a lot trash - but not in folks faces...

Milo Yiannopoulos Dropped as CPAC Speaker Amid Pedophilia Video Controversy-
Milo Yiannopoulos' invitation to deliver the keynote address at this week's Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, has been rescinded.
"Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference," read a statement from ACU chairman Matt Schlapp on Monday.
A newly posted video from a 2016 episode of "The Drunken Peasants" podcast features Yiannopoulos discussing his own sexual abuse as a teen. During the podcast, he does not appear to condemn similar relationships between children and men.
Yiannopoulos took to his Facebook page Sunday night to say, "I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a coordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject."
He went on to list several examples from his career as a right-wing journalist to prove that he is "completely disgusted by the abuse of children" if it comes across that he meant any of the "ugly things" alleged in the video.
"We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient. It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments," Schlapp continued in the statement. "We initially extended the invitation knowing that the free speech issue on college campuses is a battlefield where we need brave, conservative standard-bearers."
Milo has made many disturbing comments about a whole range of subjects, including the ones listed above. He is barely more subtle about it than the poster here who calls himself Budweiser, but it's a poorly disguised version of the same thing. Misogyny, racism, Islamophobia. His supporters hide behind that fact that Milo is gay, brags about sleeping with black men, and has some Jewish ancestry, as though his comments change based on these facts. The same people who spend their days attacking minorities argue that his minority status and choice of partners sanitizes his comments.
Any private organization can choose to associate with him or not. If someone chooses him as a speaker, that means they think his views are more than simply abuse and that the many patently offensive statements he's made should be part of our national conversation. It doesn't necessarily mean they agree with everything, but they are saying he has not expressed viewpoints which should be stigmatized. So I agree it was moronic for Bill to have him on his show.
Guess he now understands how freedom of speech works.
Then again, maybe not.
University and college campuses are and have always been places for all sorts of people. Some of them might even be over sensitive artists and thinkers - or in your vernacular: sanitized pussies. Some of them might be liberals and progressives. Not to worry though, we’ve we also have young republicans, libertarians, pro-choice Christians, Trump supporters and all the rest. They’re all people who don’t mind saying what they think and being judged for it.Quote:
SJWs are making campuses places for sanitised pussies. I don't think this is healthy and/or normal.
If you’re on the job working for somebody else, then of course you may have to adhere to the decorum of your business. Universities are businesses and administrators are concerned with keeping the population of paying students at a maximum. They expect the professors to teach, mentor and not offend the clients. That’s normal in any business. A waiter wouldn’t last an hour at MacDonald’s if he insulted the customers. Bosses are not being politically correct, nor are they SJWs.
There are no thought police in our society. In most contexts outside of work you can say whatever you want - unless you’re too fucking embarrassed to say it, or too afraid of being called out and judged for your opinion. If that’s case, then you might complain about the SJWs and political correctness stifling your speech - but you’d be wrong: it’s your own guilt that’s holding you back. (That's what people really like about Trump: he has no guilt - he can't be embarrassed - he's a narcissistic sociopath).
