Why don't we impose a ban on Islam until all mosques permit co-ed prayers?

Doesnt Canada have one of the worlds highest interracial/religious marriage rates? I wonder how much of that, if any, comes from that lack of identity we constantly complain about. Seems like it would be easier to stray from your parents strict rules when the outside pressure isnt there.

somebody pointed out to me today that "trigger warnings" are already totally normal and standard in the context of, say, violent or sexually-explicit television- 'viewer discretion is advised' is basically baked into everybody's brains by this point- which really does put people being weird and lovely about the fed doing that same thing where it's even more appropriate in perspective.

Stamping your feet and running gravel through your hair is not the way to convince people - breaking taboo on both sides of the argument to speak to the congregation of a mosque will. Also, you're not walking back from this. You're now full blown orange wig, Rebel-Establishment Ezra. You hosed up your New Year jubilee!

THC posted:Or god forbid a university. How can these coddled politically correct millennials expect to receive a well-rounded education without being unnecessarily traumatized every now and then?! I dunno I think articles like this raise some serious questions about how you teach subjects that necessitate discussion of traumatic events, and whether those subjects can actually be taught if you allow students, rather than teachers, to pick and choose the discussions they're willing to engage in.

Individual students often ask teachers not to include the law of rape on exams for fear that the material would cause them to perform less well. One teacher I know was recently asked by a student not to use the word “violate” in class—as in “Does this conduct violate the law?”—because the word was triggering. Some students have even suggested that rape law should not be taught because of its potential to cause distress.  I want to be a lawyer!

Ignoring your problems will just exasperate them, putting a band aid on a symptom instead of actually fixing the problem won't work. Also, it's not like you don't know what it's about anyways, reading a rape warning you know it's an article about rape, just like if a newscaster says the n word you know what they really mean. Overall it's seems like it's just an attempt by the government to curry favour from a certain segment of the internet, because trigger warnings don't actually do anything.

Trigger warnings can still be appropriate, but on the other hand you don't get to ignore things just because they might trigger you. Essentially, I think people have a right to be informed they'll be exposed to that sort of material, but they do not have the right to be excused from it in the context of a university education.
