No, I am not aware, though I remember the Ayaan Hirsi Magan one and the one concerning the Neo Nazi sympathizer. How many out of our 5,000+ USA colleges have cancelled conservative speakers lately due to outcry from the students who protest their very presence?

The kids are being taught that, if you're white you are privileged beyond other races and will have an easier time making it in life. If you aren't, society is against you and will work to hold you back. (Asians don't believe this, by the way.)
Yeah.... asians.... everyone's favorite token minority, unless you check the hate crime stats.
Look, no one ever told me that, and no one tells my kids any such thing. You've already explained that no one is doing this to you, personally..and..at some point, you might start to wonder whether it's happening at all. I cut the rest of it off because, as I see it, it's just fan fiction on that same theme.
None of this is a thing that's happening, who told you this was happening? Remember back at the start, when I asked you how funny it would be if you were insisting that people recognize you as the exact kind of asshole they think you aren't? What do you think that you've been doing here, with any of this? Hmm, I wonder who's been stoking Anti-Asian hatred?

Yikes!!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I was going to say something like "Hm, aren't we all sort of assholes deep down?" but then I saw who you were talking about and was like "No... no we're not that bad."

In his college yearbook, Tucker Carlson thought it would be hilarious to call himself a member of the "Dan White Society". Dan White was the man who murdered Harvey Milk.

-and tucker carlson is the man who bragged about beating a gay mans head against a bathroom stall on live tv. In fairness, it was a claim he would later retract, possibly on account of how it might suggest something hatecrimey, and was amended to the far less not gay and super manly holding a gay man down in a bathroom until authorites arrived, with a friend.
Tucker gets hit on in bathrooms alot, as he tells it. Don't we all?

Makes me want to ask... Why are you hanging out in places where hitting on other men while in the shitter is an acceptable thing, Tucker?

Guys get carried away, but where are the wives to stop them?
Quote:Man used 80 pounds of explosives for gender reveal party — blast rocked homes 20 miles away
On Thursday, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported that a local man kicked off a "gender reveal party" by detonating an enormous stockpile of Tannerite and blue chalk at a quarry in Kingston, leading to a blast that shook houses 20 miles away.
"Many residents in communities across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts reported hearing the explosion just after 7 p.m." reported Jason Schrieber. He later confirmed that the detonation was caused by 80 pounds of Tannerite, and that the man who set it off has turned himself in.

In my experience, most guys who get a really dumb idea in their head don't tend to listen to wives or anyone else.
Wives know that and also know that the "I told you so" she's going to dish out is going to become the story of what a dumbass he is that's shared for years.
