Trigger Warnings, Safe-Spaces, Microaggressions: What ever happened to free speech and a healthy debate?

U Mass College Republicans

While the year isn't over yet, 2016 has already blessed us with so many college students triggered by their own reflection that I just couldn't resist but to drop the list a month early. For once, lets cheer to safe-spaces, trigger warnings, and these so called microagression's that these students demand we take seriously.

On one of the final stops of The Dangerous Faggot Tour, spring edition, Milo Yiannopoulos was joined by Dave Rubin who famously dubbed the term "regressive left." Apparently their talk was too much for this poor girl to handle. It's doubtful she ever made it inside.

After vandalizing college property she had a few words for her audience.

Skip to 1:20 and things get interesting. Apparently smearing fake blood on yourself really helps your cause.

Famously known as Trigglypuff, social justice warrior and fat activist Cora Segal just couldn't handle hearing Christina Hoff Sommers speak at U-Mass last April when she was joined by Steven Crowder and Milo Yiannopolus on stage.

Triggered by the Trump table at University of Pittsburgh.

A Young Americans for Freedom meeting at Kansas University recently went out of control when YAF and other students debated safe spaces. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/26/so...

Milo speaks at DePaul University and the event gets taken over by triggered protestors.

Apparently legal immigration is awfully triggering.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
