Was that for me? If you're shocked by the 40 % number when it comes to millenials being anti-free speech and find it hard to believe, I don't blame you. I found it very hard to believe too at first.

Just this whole thread, really.
"Limiting speech offensive to minorities," while not my cuppa, is not the same as being "anti-free speech." There are important nuances. Just one example would be where they want that speech limited.
That said, you also have to take into consideration what people consider millennials. I'm actually a millennial according to some parameters. I think millennial is the new "whippersnapper."

That makes me the cranky old guy. It's a relief that my age (50) finally matches my natural frame of mind.

If that is true than he sets the bar to himself. As do you by your white knightess defense of him. I mean you are defending him for doing what what others do, that you find reprehensible, because others do.
So much for the other cheek heh?
Defending him? Actually I specifically said I don't agree with his generalization.
I was simply pointing out the double standards of those who have no problem with, and even contribute to, other generalizations that go on in this forum all the time, but then let the claws out when someone does the exact same thing against their side.
If you want to count that as me defending Neo, so be it I suppose. It's a popular trend now a days to act like someone is completely against you unless they are completely with you.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

That sounds familiar. If only I could remember the book in which I first saw that sentiment expressed . . . .

Yes, it is the same thing. Free speech does not mean only speech that you agree with.

Speaking for someone else, making his hypocrisy excusable because some others do it isn't defending him?

So it is. As to your last remark, it is another sad thing. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean it is against you. Each to its own, I guess :S

You're purposely cutting out my paragraph before that statement, which puts it into context. Im not excusing his behavior at all. Simply pointing out others' hypocritical response to it.

Republicans like you give tried and true Patriotic Republicans a bad name. Hop off your propaganda machine and see what's really happening. Your political party is an imploding mass of hate, bigotry, and a pittance of what was once the basis of American standards based upon the Constitution. The day you swallowed the white supremecists into your fold is the day you took on a cancer that will kill your party, just as it has already killed your footing in society and your values. You're an empty shell, and I can't wait for it to implode.
Oh wait.. it already is.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

The normalizing hits keeps coming. Apparently, standing on a stage and shouting about darkies doing this and that to white genocide us is just another opinion, that some people disagree with.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That is exactly my point. You don't like the threads and generalizations done. OK. But then you feel Neo to be justified in doing the same? How isn't that defending him? Whatr others?
And who are these others? isn't that a generalization itself?
Oh and I think Neo is a big boy able to fend for himself, he has like gods to protect him and stuff
