Just link me an example of what you think is dangerous. I don't exactly follow these two around, but from what I can see, they just try to piss off liberals, even though their views seem pretty mainstream conservative.
There is no such thing as protests that don't engage in violence and protests that do engage in violence. There are protests, and there are riots, and they are not the same thing. At all.
I have a literal dent in my head. I feel it made me stronger. I'm sure you guys will LOVE that bit of info though. Have fun with it. =)
It seems you are incapable of getting my point. That's unfortunate. I thought more of you than that previously.
I agree it was the parents of the bike helmet movement, that are the real villains.
Even though I think it's wasted text, I guess I'll take another crack at it. It's not just the bike helmets. It's the entire helicopter parent movement. It's the lack of freedom as youth. It's never ever taking the slightest bit of risk their entire lives, until they are grown. It's no wonder they react strongly to a world they didn't even know existed, because they all grew up basically like the boy in the bubble (Travolta hype). If your entire life is lived inside a Moon Walk, the first thing that skins your knee is something you are completely unprepared for. Hence the throwing of bricks instead of just flying of the middle finger.
Of course my generation (gen X) is not without fault. After all, we DID probably have a lot of head injuries. But this topic is relative to the current generation of students, who behave in a way that is completely different than mine did. Sure, we disobeyed authority, probably even more than these kids. But we didn't openly defy it, and throw bricks when we got mad.
It's not that everything is wrong with millennials. It's that THIS thing is wrong. This rioting, group think, fake race problems, safe spaces, denial of truth, refusal to allows others to be individuals, etc. They are good at a lot of things, other than taking irrational offense. But the topic is what it is, and I blame how they were raised, as the reason for the lack of basic human decency in their treating of others who think differently.
It's also a really DUMB mentality, to think that all of the world's problems can be solved by everyone thinking the same way. Rigorous debate is what leads the public as a whole to the right solutions, not shouting down opposing views before they can even be spoken.
Do you always do this, ask questions whose answers are in the quote you are asking questions about?
I'm making a nuanced point, while using hyperbole. Those who didn't take literature and English composition classes are just going to get confused, and there isn't a way to avoid that. /shrug
I have no problem with fuel efficient cars. I think from an environmental stand point, things like coal cars...err electric cars make little sense in the places where the electricity generation is worse than the car emissions. This has become less true after Obama regulations forced to many plants to stop burning coal, due to the increased cost of production.
I think a lot of environmentalism, from a science and engineering stand point, is a bit of folly. Like, strip mining the earth for rare metals to put in catalytic converters that cause cars to be less fuel efficient, for example. Another example was the Minnesota school district who switched the buses to 10% bio-diesel, to save the planet. They then later had the issue that the bio-diesel froze at a much higher temperature, so the solution was to leave the buses running all night. /facepalm

Topkek.
The University of California, Berkeley, (also referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley, Cal, Cal Berkeley, and California)[6] is a public research university located in Berkeley, California
The shit you guys go through to defend people targeting others with violence in order to squelch them would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking sad. You know damn well if some Left winger was going going to speak and a bunch of right winged people got up there and was acting violent forcing the college to cancel the vent you would be screaming and moaning about the alt right.
You're nothing but a hypocrite.
tell that to @Zan15 as well
Berkeley is funded by the Government, and is in fact, a public university. And actually people do not have the right to violently suppress free speech. That is illegal. They can go protest someone's speech, they can speak against someone's speech, but they cannot violently suppress it. Shock value or not, it's free speech

California has castle doctrine. If it was private property you could shoot for trespassing/any intent to commit a crime. Berkeley is not private property, though.
Yes, it is assault. Even throwing water in a person's face is assault. We can argue the validity and reasonableness of the law if you like, but it most certainly is currently assault. In this particular case, if none of the eggs hit him, then we would be looking at attempted assault at the very least.

Federal Judge ruled that a public university cannot stop someone from speaking freely.
"Citing safety concerns, Auburn canceled the event Friday. Then, a federal judge granted Spencer's request for an injunction, effectively ordering Auburn to host his speaking event as originally scheduled."
It is against the constitution, which is the law, for a public university to block free speech due to threats of violence. Whether you're a white nationalist, alt right leader, social justice warrior, or communist, this is your right. The end.

Considering it's violence that only makes people respond these days, yes.
How do you think terror attacks are so effective? Violence itself is like a wildfire in our society. Any hint of it breeds controversy while at the same time is recognizable in any part of the country, no, recognizable in the greater world as a fact of human life. They are merely using all the legal tools they can to promote their belief rhetoric, just like Miss Coulter.
They are fundamentally no different in their method, only agenda.
There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.
