    r e a l l y....................Which sentence or word do you disagree with?
    I'm at IUPUC, Columbus........they've got a snowflake safe room. It used to be a janitors' supply overflow room, so it isn't very big. It is full of stuffed animal toys and several blankies. I did catch three of them in there one day and asked them why they were there. Their response was someone had said, in class, that Trump looked like he was doing as he had planned and they lost it there, and again when I asked. I kept a straight face and walked back out the door. I did get as far as the stairwell before I started laughing.
    They were still so micro-aggressed over the election. They are proof that some folks just wont accept life and get over the election. Like some in here, and they were around 18 years old. Ours are a bit older and behaving the same way.
    We should create a safe room for our aggressed members. I think they should ask the mods for access so they can go have their fear/hate party out of sight of the rest of us so we don't feel pity for them.
    Most of them are either business majors or social science majors. I am one of those left that seems to think English is a good degree. I'm not going to do a damned thing with it, but it will be one of those things I started back in '74 that I finally finish. I'm also carrying a minor in anthropology and geology.
    Nope, no feel-my-pain classes.
    So yes, Margaret, there are safe room on almost every campus now, just for the weak minded. They wont last long in the real world. Maybe they could replace Jarrar?

    So, your very first response wont deal with the OP. I guess you must agree because you go straight for the insults. Tell us how that'll help win the next election.
