Same here. It makes it extremely difficult to view dead Russians.

See, it is easy to breathe through a mask on a plane.

This is true. They do help each other. You just have to suffer from a lifetime of disappointment, wear a weird ring, have the vast majority of society refer to you with disgust, and yell like you were the victim of a non-consensual anal probe, but yeah, strong network.

Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown

I don’t consider you an asshole. You have some well thought reasoning and good commentary about your trucker situation which I appreciate for comparisons and clarity. Sorry about the typo, it’s difficult to play with myself while checking my bracket and typing on surly.

Waaaah! We don’t need proof, then you immediately ask me a 1st amendment question…. When was the last time you met with a social worker about your mental incapacity?

I specifically differentiated actions from words and never said anything about unionization and free speech yet a dumbfuck like you wants to say I’m like a trucking convoy?

Yup, give up, I’m just trolling. Don’t add any constructive conversation or answer my questions. Just throw out some accusation with no explanation so you can bail out and say, “who’s next?”

Never once have I said anything about my political preference. You have no idea which way I lean, yet you know which brush you want to paint me with. You are one in the same with your colleagues. I haven’t discussed politics. I am also here with frank discussion yet you judge me. It seems my last comment has struck a cord with you even though my guns weren’t pointed at you at all. Was it my comment about “scholarly elite” or just your simplistic insecurities?

No examples or proof, just yell it from the mountain tops!

Thank you, I was looking for some scholarly replacement for the scholarly elite on this message board.

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. Art is a form of expression as I previously stated. It’s a shame you can’t connect these dots. I’m advocating for any form of freedom that allows different forms of communication while you call me a snowflake. It’s ironic that you want to justify silencing these free forms of expression. This is the 3rd time I’ll ask you as you seem to be preoccupied with your unintelligent banter. Are you going to address your unionization and free speech bullshit or continue to hide behind your bottle of massengill?

Cartoon characters was a reference to cancel culture. They’re a form of art where art is a form of expression. There’s your connection. You don’t have to like Banksy’s art or Thujone’s cartoons but they have a right to produce these drawings on any level regardless of their intended audience. Were you ever going answer my question about your ridiculous accusation with unionization and free speech as I never talked about this at all? Or….do you want to just admit you were spouting nonsense? I’ll wait.

Agreed.

You still haven’t addressed how I’ve somehow mistaken unionization and free speech. Now you’re just lobbing around nonsense trying desperately to be part of the conversation. Have a good day!

Now I’m creating problems since I didn’t mention free speech and unionization? You’re definitely missing the whole premise of free speech. I graduated from UT, and by the look of your last two posts, were you one of those late ACC transfers?

What did I say about unionization and free speech?

Apu on the Simpsons. He was a great positive character with an accurate stereotype. He had a great heart and all this other cool shit but somewhere some dickhead decided decided this had racism. Society is now better off since this fictional character no longer appears. If he stayed on the cartoon series, we all would have lost our minds and attacked South Asian people when we saw them in real life because we watched Apu on the Simpsons. Pepe Le Pew tape was apparently found in all the homes of the Baylor rapists. This cartoon normalized rape culture and that’s why everyone fucks each other without consent. At some point parenting should hold more value and criticism than cartoons but it’s doesn’t. I digress…

What term would you like? I’ll change it to whatever you want.

I get some of what you’re saying. I’m more referring to opinions outside the workplace and for this thread; UT campus, as a student. Participating in a convoy would be an action much stronger than words.

You’re good at proving my points. I should give you the mic. I guess you also missed my example with cartoon characters but, I only mention “people for being fired for saying bad things.” Can you read?

People get fired for their opinions all the time. We live in a world where certain cartoon characters are removed and business owners are forced to facilitate people; rather than these people not watching that specific cartoon or simply ignoring the unwanted businesses. Too say that there is no such thing as cancel culture is not only ignorant but incredibly stupid. We never had people fired for simply speaking out things that offended others. This is new. When you say “people are being held accountable for their words and actions.” We aren’t addressing “actions.” Free speech is only about what you’re saying not doing. Furthermore, this has nothing to do with holding someone accountable for what they said. Again, people can say whatever they want regardless of who it offends, disagree, agree, etc. You can engage in a constructive debate saying anything you want on the UT Austin campus. The truth of this matter is that in today’s world, it’s absolutely, without question, easier to offend someone or find those who are easily offended.

There are have people that have lost their jobs in both normal work conditions, tv hosting, and numerous other examples throughout our country. As much as I hate newer terms, the term “cancel culture” is there for an actual reason. These issues did not exist in previous generations. We also did not have the far reach of idiotic social media. This is absolutely attributed to more recent generations. I can see this clearly bothers you for someone to endorse more free thinking schools of thought. If you were to compare me to something you could’ve chosen Bob Marley or Rage Against the Machine, but instead you went with your favorite website which is ironically the opposite of freedom of speech or unbridled thought.

I already stated most of what you said in less words. I’ll simplify my post since your reading comprehension sucks. How do I compare to texags?

I reference UT, freedom of speech & thought, and respecting people’s opinions. You reference texags. You’re dumber than shit smashed with a club.
