“Do The Left Thing” satirical column that led to the author's home being vandalized

That may be true in the past, however today liberalism/feminism/SJWism is essentially one and the same.

Very difficult to separate one from the other.

Liberalism outside North America still means Classic Liberalism, i.e Australia's Liberal Party or Japan's LDP. It's only in North America that Liberal means Left wing or Progressive. Everywhere else Liberals are either centre-right, or centrists who coalition with the right (like in the U.K and Germany).

Does classical liberalism still believe in equality,fraternity and liberty? As the french revolutionaries as of old?

That's just a waste of the credits on the student meal plan.

:facepalm:

My roomate and I used to:

1)Superglue door locks shut
2) Take each other's car and drive them to the other side of campus.
3) Draw symbols from WW2 in the halls so the entire floor would have "diversity meetings".

That was only 2008 have college kids gotten that soft?? Can anyone in college confirm?

I'm a senior. College kids can throw parties and raves, do cool things on Halloween, but I haven't really seen much in the way of large-scale pranks.

I was busy pranking in 2005, but no one else was.

Based on data from my dad and grandfather's experiences attending exactly the same university, pranking (and all forms of socializing) took a serious hit once the Internet arrived in earnest.

Chris Rock won't perform at colleges because he's under the impression that students are "conservative" when in fact they're leftoid drones.

"When did you start to notice this?

About eight years ago. Probably a couple of tours ago. It was just like, This is not as much fun as it used to be. I remember talking to George Carlin before he died and him saying the exact same thing.

Provocative comedians avoiding the college scene? The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's Susan Kruth explains why this is a lamentable development:

Just as college campuses are meant to be “marketplaces of ideas” generally, they should be places where comedians and other performers are especially able to play with new acts. It’s disappointing to see that this is not so, and that the atmosphere for freedom of speech and comedy in particular on campuses has gotten bad enough that noted comedians are avoiding student audiences altogether. That is a real loss for them—after all, everybody could use a laugh."
