Yale students sign petition to repeal the first amendment

Penn And Teller Get Hippies To Sign Water Banning Petition

Just one of those things , ya know.

NSFW due to some language.

It's a Fox clickbait article with a chick asking stupid people to sign a (fake) petition to repeal the First Amendment to prove there are stupid people who will freely give away their rights.

More likely they thought they were giving her their phone number...lol!

-2/10

Fifteen seconds of life wasted reading that worthless link. Thanks.

Yup, there you go. Find a group you want to disparage (college kids? wtf?), make up something no one cares about, and shoot enough interactions to get your 10 minutes of footage. Then get out the wide brush and call everyone in the group dumb.

It's actually a dude, not a chick.

It is hilarious because these are the same students who just awhile back did just 'peaceably assemble' over some bullshit. Acted like idiots, and had two professors leave over it. Now they're signing the something (fake) that would take that away. They want their 'safe spaces' and this would prohibit that. The 1st Amendment also has this little nugget in it, "petition the government for a redress of grievances". Which is exactly what they're doing...

He spells it out pretty clearly, people sign it because they don't want their feelings hurt (he actually used that line). 50 people in 60 minutes... signed the petition. So sad that these students of such a school would believe and fall for this. These are our leaders? Ugh.

My favorite line, "microaggression should not be protected". First off, thats a made up word in this overly PC world, secondly it's hilarious.

Which is freaking hilarious because I didn't waste my time watching the video after reading the article. The 'breathless' voice/tone of the article led me to thinking it was written by a Faux-type bimbo blonde.

He could have a bright future as a writer for Faux Nooz bimbos...lol!

Kids these days. They just signed something to ban what they just did.

i'ms a smart. i wont ma persoanl space.

If anything it shows how even ostensibly smart people are sheeple. The power of suggestion is overwhelmingly strong. These kids are spineless and very compliant. I bet they don't realize how controllable they are. It's like you go through life and one day something bad happens involving a violent event and you don't at all act like how you always thought you would because you don't know what's going on.

Corrected you because you obviously didn't watch it, thus to me making your opinion invalid.

He laid it out very clear for them, the people who signed it are just extremely ignorant. It is actually pretty hilarious and sad at the same time.

edit some students respond to the video; http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/12/1...irst-amendment-repeal-video.html?intcmp=hpbt3

“It numbs the mind that dozens of Yale students could sign a petition to revoke the First Amendment,” freshman Grant Richardson wrote FoxNews.com in an email. “Besides the fact that the First Amendment lists the most fundamentally important rights we hold as Americans, it is rather embarrassing to think Yalies could not see the irony that they were petitioning away – their right to petition.”

Exactly the point I made... so sad.

A lot of those top schools are filled with Trustafarians who got in because of connections not merit.

Look at Dubya, he is a Yale grad. That pretty much tells you everything about what the typical Yale grad is.

MIT is a real school, Yale is where the trustafarians go and get vetted.

Nice to know there is affirmative action that the rich and privileged approve.

 

[momeNt]

The difference between me and those Yale students? I'd have to be told what the first amendment was first. At least they knew without being told, so props to them. But there is no way in hell I'm giving up my guns.

SOP for the media, bro. But otoh, you can't really blame Fox for this one given what others have said about how clearly the guy spelled out what he meant. Many of the current lot of college kids are simply pathetic.

Or go to MSNBC and join towering intellects like Melissa Harris Perry, aka the moron that called Star Wars racist because Vader wore black - paraphrased.

Wow... she really, really went out on a limb there. Making race to be an issue where there is not one at all. She IS the problem, but won't see it like that. Can't say I am surprised, but damn.
