idiots will say anything to impress idiots, they know their base well, they beat them like a drum
Exactly. People on this forum are showing their age. Old fogies. If this were the late 60s, they'd be bitching about those fraidy cats that don't want to go to Nam and fight for our country. And that damn loud music they listen to while smoking that damn wacky tobaccy. This world is coming to an end. Get a haircut. If we would have had forums back then, Willie and the boys on here would have bitching about Woodstock, the Stones and hooray for Nixon.
don't try to organize a protest without getting permission from black ppl first

According to Wiki, 58k Americans killed in Vietnam --- with another 153k wounded-in-action.
What is the issue now? There aren't enough "safe spaces" on campus? Even though a college campus is probably the safest space for anybody, regardless of race/gender/religion/orientation?
(not saying colleges are 100% safe, and they certainly have a history of hushing-up sexual/violent crimes --- but all things considered, most campus communities are isolated fantasy zones, free from the burdens of real-world life)
So in the 1970s, the fear was "Hey, I don't want a feces-covered punji stick piercing my buttocks. And help me understand, why are we fighting in this small Asian country?"
Now, the fear is "Hey, I was walking to my Accounting class --- and I think some people gave me a questionable stare? Kinda like a glance, or maybe a roll-of-the-eyes? I don't feel safe, but I know the solution --- let's fire every white male administrator!"
talk about the irony, holy chit man
somebody called me a name, oh boo fucking hoo, we're not playing football and the big bad president must resign
get on your soap box and tell it to "your boys", thank you
QFT, no shit
don'tchaknow, white working males are the problem in their world
and when we defend ourselves, we're the ones complaining
that there stuff is some powerful stupid
First, it would be imply --- a writer or speaker implies, and a reader/listener infers.
Second, I wasn't implying college protests had any impact on the Vietnam War. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Wasn't my point at all.
My point:
* Vietnam protests = thousands of Americans were dying (in a war that wasn't clearly defined)
* Mizzou/Yale protests = due to some offensive language, students claim their lives & emotional well-being are in jeopardy
