****s getting real dumb these days

The teaching of Plato is now too woke for today's "conservatives". What's next, erasing the Sermon on the Mount from the Bible to conform with the teachings of Saint Donald

Quote

Martin Peterson, a philosophy professor at Texas A&M University, was thunderstruck when he was told on Tuesday that he needed to excise some teachings of Plato from his syllabus. It was one way, his department head wrote in an email, that Dr. Peterson’s philosophy class could comply with new policies limiting discussion of race and gender.

Days before the start of the spring semester, one of the nation’s largest public universities is racing to interpret and enforce the A&M system’s rules. Some professors are reconsidering syllabuses at the direction of administrators, or are unsure whether they will be able to lead certain classes. Course sections are being canceled or potentially reclassified, threatening students’ schedules.

I just sent this to a friend that happens to be a Philosophy professor. So far Wayne State has not deemed Plato as too woke.

That describes him well. And most of the hardcore MAGA.

Stephen A Smith wants to run for President in 2028.     Makes sense.  There are no longer standards and he may be almost as dumb and the current resident.   Almost.

Look, I like a liberal arts education as much as the next guy, but I don't think anyone is going to Texas Agricultural & Mining University for a degree in platonic philosophy, anyway.

Damn.  That guy should be fighting on the White House lawn this summer.

Wild.

Unrelated, but I wonder how many people have been in a fight. I spent years bartending as a second job, so it was kind of common to see them in that environment. Instant asshole, just add alcohol, and off they go. Most of the ones who started them, shouldn't have. They couldn't beat up their sister. Just stupid. 

Getting beat up hurts and is no fun. Some people like it and get a kick out of it - or they are stupid and start something they can't finish. There are bad asses and dumbasses. 

Don't be the dumbass. You're welcome.

He ran away from them

My buddy in my 20s was a fighter.  When we went out, he would look to start **** and get in fights.  It got to the point I had to stop hanging out with him.  Just not my thing at all.  

[oblong]

He’s still a fascist though.

I mean… if cheering on those guys is your thing. Cool.  We know where you would stand in 1930s Germany.  it makes easier to sort out the good guys, especially when you blatantly tell us.  It gets easier every day.

I've known quite a few guys over the years that were badasses. But they didn't start stuff. Good thing. One did the tough man contests. He was one of those 6'2ish type guys going about 220 who was a freak of human nature. And you couldn't hurt him if you hit him with a board. Great guy, ran his own business, but a neanderthal.

Not him, but another guy I knew, was in a bar after work one night with a bunch of us. Some guy walked in, got a beer, looked around, and said; I can whip any mother(bleep)s ass in here. Guy I was sitting with says; you might be able to whip my ass but I'm not a mother(bleep) and off they went.

I'd rather just drink beer and watch the entertainment.
