Was he going to type in 10 more character to say the college I attended and fuck up his flo?

My problem with Safe Spaces is that they're selfish by their very nature.

Then there's the whole argument in the punk scene about concerts being Safe Spaces, which I vehemently disagree with.

Because you don't get incredible things like this:

They're also fucking make believe, dude.

Every Walgreens should have one by the pharmacy at this point.

I see it as a culture thing. 1919 and other venues in that scene are safes-spaces. I don't agree with it, but I'm not going to waltz up in there with a t-shirt that reads RAPE YOUR MOTHER NIGGER FAGGOT or remind them we're not Gods and death makes way for life and struggle precedes strength.

I did get a chuckle at Matt Taibbi saying "us reporters" as if he's anything more than an op-ed guy. Aside from that, yeah, of course CNN skews left and Fox skews right. And the ocean is wet, and the sun rises in the east, and so on.
