First, They Came for the Biologists
The postmodernist left on campus is intolerant not only of opposing views, but of science itself.https://www.wsj.com/articles/fir…
Who would have guessed that when America cleaved, the left would get the National Football League and the right would get uncontested custody of science?
- AHAHAAHHA... the right and science. That's a good one.wagshaft

Most of the time I hear the phrase politically correct it's a passive aggressive attack on something not racist.
Example: "Oh, look at them going out of their way to include gays and other minorities in this TV show."

"A decision to cast non-Asian singers as Chinese characters has led to a Welsh opera being cancelled by a London venue".

“You will include Judith Butler in your course.” That was announced to Erik Ringmar, senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Lund University, after the September meeting of the department’s board of directors. Not that there’s anything wrong with reading the queer studies feminist Butler. It’s just that the course Ringmar teaches is primarily about the reaction to modernity at the turn of the last century, with a focus on fascism.

Girls Scouts of America tells parents not to make daughters hug relatives at Christmas
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/…
The organisation suggested that, if young girls were told to hug aunts and uncles, they might later in life feel they "owed" physical affection to someone who bought them dinner.

Baby it's cold outside – banned from radio
- Seriously, get over it. The people complaining that its' banned, only know the parts of the song that were sung in the movie Elf.hobgoblin
- The same people listen to "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue (The Angry American)" which sings about hanging.hobgoblin
- Or Red Rag Top which sings about a couple having an abortion. Or The Pill, which is about birth control pills.hobgoblin
- Fucking mouth-breather hypocriteshobgoblin
- Hormone injections to create Trans-kids is A-ok, but a silly song has got to go!robotron3k
- You are a whole lotta stupid
Creating Trans-kids... you fucking donkeyhobgoblin - Oh, unfortunately it's a thing... https://www.google.c…robotron3k
- fact: trans gender kids occur just as much in conservative families as in liberal onesmonospaced
- fact: trans gender is not possible to create by any meansmonospaced
- LOL, so the entire genre of hip hop is also going to get banned right? right? *CRICKETS*zarkonite
- What do trans people have to do with this issue? One thing literally has nothing to do with the other. Am I missing another argument somewhere?Gucci
- trans kid has nothing to do with this. it was mentioned because robo likes to derail.pango
- have you guys listened to those Christmas song? lol the lyrics are seriously questionable.pango
- more serious that "smack my bitch up"? come on.Gnash
- we talking about late night air time or day time air time?pango
- if they can't go on the family friendly time slot. i dont think "adult listener" want to listen to it. lolpango
- anytimeGnash
- actually i'm really not clear on this. CBC has many channels. is it banned on all? maybe we can put it in the trending hip hop channel.pango
- or industrial. back to back with smack my bitch up.pango
- ya that's outrageous. it should be played on the adult hip hop channel.pango
- it's banned on allGnash
- just saying. possibly they dont know where else to put it. when a family friendly song turned rapy.pango
- where do you put family friendly rapy song??pango
- ah, the FFR genre is a tricky one, I see you're point.Gnash
- ugh. your!!Gnash
- Lol a new genre still to be made for this.pango
- *Needspango
- I guess it's not just CBC. Rogers and Shaw media also.pango
- and bellGnash
- Also is there any authority stoping them from playing? Or they all just decided not to play that song?pango
- no authority (other than social media feedback). any station is free to play it or not. their choiceGnash
- Well than I think this debate has been blown out of proportion.pango
- yes. it's not important. just stupid and mock-worthyGnash

@hobgoblin: Hypocrites? I don't get it. It's exceedingly possible that I'm reading this wrong as my sinuses are practically making my head explode, but it reads to me that you're having the same issue as the people who are dumbfounded that the song has been banned—just with songs that are controversial in another way.
The lyrics have some thorny issues, of course, but where do you draw the line? Plenty of popular songs in every genre have questionable lyrics. Fair play dictates that those should be scrutinized and banned too, no?
Banning art in whatever form is kinda bullshit imo and often has a reverse, unintended effect.
- the institutions aren't 'banning' the song because they feel it's has problematic lyrics.Gnash
- they're banning it because it's not worth the social media backlash storm that will ensue from the outrage addictsGnash
- it's an easy bone to throw themGnash
- Are you comparing them to dogs?soundofreason
- great question. simple answer. Smack My Bitch up, or any hip-hop song of that nature, would never be played at a starbucks, walmart,hobgoblin
- walgreens, or any store, shop, restaurant endlessly for 2 solid months of the year. Those songs exist, but don't get much airtime (an assumption here).hobgoblin
- baby it's cold outside will be played endlessly for 2 solid months during the hight of the metoo campaign. and yes, the lyrics are beyond questionable.hobgoblin
- the hypocrites comment was that the right, the ones complaining that the song is no longer being played, never listened to it in the first placehobgoblin
- , know it, and listen to other questionable shit on their own.hobgoblin
- the outrage addicts are the women and men whom have been assaulted and a part of the metoo campaign. and now you're calling them dogs, lol.hobgoblin
- lol. looks like you're the only one outraged here. the whole issue is pathetic, not dangerous.Gnash
- it's just pandering.Gnash
- that said, I have no issue with them taking the song of rotation. it doesn't affect me in anyway. It's just silly issue.Gnash
- you know there is a list of songs you'll never hear on the radio simply because they encourage free thinking or anti govt views, right?imbecile
- I can find outrage in every single song ever. Should we fucking ban them all? Just be left with white noise? Oh shit that’s racist and white supremist! Lol_niko

The song is about 2 people contemplating fucking by the fireplace... nothing more ffs.
Her (the girl in the song... or maybe that's a trans man... who knows? //I see that's now an important factor in this argument now) only concern is what people will think... she wants dick as much as he wants pussy... what the fuck is wrong w/that?!
The line 'say what's in this drink' is not about a fucking RUFI (you overly sensitive pussies)... put the song in the proper context / time period it was written. That is a common phrase (often used by women who couldn't handle their liquor or who are actually (God Forbid!) HORNY and wish to blame the fucking wine / brandy / whatever the twit's drinking on her obvious attraction and horniness... again-God Forbid!!))
This tune has always been delivered in a playful and fun manner... it's LOVED by many due to the many duets that have performed.
And just to show it's not some misogynistic bunk... have a look at the following vid... the roles on this song have been sung by BOTH genders for years. My gut tells me if you're a dude and women is pushing you to stick around and handle some biz on the couch that it won't be misconstrued as a rape tune...
This #metoo movement is real but needs to find some fucking balance.
- jump to 2:30 to watch this gal try and rape this dude... YOU'LL BE DISGUSTED!!!PonyBoy
- If they feel that this is the best problem to solve right now, well, that's their problem. The movement loses credibility and allies at every pointless attack.zarkonite
- true, "what's in this drink?" is a well know idiom of the time that both men and women used a shield for their behaviour.Gnash
- The few sensationalists are eroding the credibility of a worthwhile movement. Bound to happen somewhat. Eyes on the prize!sarahfailin
- isn't he just worried about her health...;-)mugwart
- Kev, it's a waste of energy to explain this. A lot of the people are completely nuts these days. They know it too, they just want to be outraged.Boz
- ffs, I agree with you :)monospaced
- yo who triggered the snowflake?jtb26
- CanadaPonyBoy
- Oh geez. I googled it. They legalized weed. Cut them some slack. You can stream this corny ass song on Spotify.jtb26
- ♪ jtb26, it's cooold outside!! ♫PonyBoy
- The song features male and female singers equally and is a fair representation of gender equality.shapesalad
- ^ I dont think the male side is cared about much.mugwart
- Ya I feel bad you guys won't hear this song on the radio any more (still available on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, yo moms cassette tape, Google music)pango
- A real tragedy to be out raged.
Also didn't know so many of you still listens to radio.pango - I guess this is a case of old vs youngpango
- Old vs young? Sure... ‘experienced vs ignorant’ works too.PonyBoy
- also that decade old harassment culture that wasn't addressed til now. that's why the moment and how everyone is overly sensitive?pango
- *movement.pango
- yes yes... @2:30 that girl is harassing the fuck out of that dude... I'm w/you, pango... sick of this 'culture'. ;)
btw... first 2 singers... KAAAAAHNNN!!!!PonyBoy - yes harassment can happen the other way around too. Didn't think you be sensitive see it.pango
- And she's wearing fur!
