I'm a proud liberal, but this new generation of ultra-PC idiots makes me want to wring some necks with this "safe spaces" and "trigger words" and "cultural appropriation" bullshit. (ETA: Good article to read on the subject... http://www.vox.com/2015/6/3/8706323/coll...sor-afraid)
That said, their hearts (if not their minds) are in the right place. They're trying to do good. I'm not sure the same can be said for those who actively participate in lies about climate science (not to mention evolutionary biology), who try to sneak religious laws against gays and trans people onto the books again by calling it "religious freedom", who seek to dismantle protections against pollution by profit-seeking corporations, who set "poverty trap" legislation and then blame the very poor people who get stuck in them, who start wars for the purpose of keeping American military industries in the black, and who try to fool as many people as possible into supporting their selfish actions via repetitious propaganda on TV and radio.
I'd take an idiotic/annoying liberal civilization over a threat-to-my-health-and-safety conservative one, any day of the week.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
