For Adults Only

This past week has taught me that "higher education" does not necessarily result in "higher intelligence". My mind has a difficult time grasping the concept that people need Trigger Warnings that a discussion or an article might, just might offend the listener/reader. Or that people require a Safe Space where they don't have to have reality intrude on their concept of self.

If you believe in closing your mind to other ideas and if you feel threatened by other peoples thoughts I suggest you stop reading now:

If you need a Trigger Warning or a Safe Space, you are a child who should not be allowed out in public without a responsible adult to watch over you.

Because you are not an adult.

An adult accepts resonsibility for their own actions.

An adult isn't offended by someone who disagrees with them.

An adult knows how to have reasoned discourse without getting emotional.

An adult does not require others to support him/her.

An adult knows that words are just that, words.

An adult knows that their actions define who they are, not what others may think or feel about them.

A child, throws tantrums when they do not get their way.

A child wants others to do everything for them.

A child screams and yells at others when their own wishes and desires are not met.

A child cannot stand not  being the center of attention and being pampered.

A child is incapable of having reasoned discourse or a civil conversation.


So if you need a "Trigger Warning" or a "Safe Space" you are NOT an Adult.

You are a CHILD.

Maybe it's time you grow up like the rest of us.  and if someone who claims to be an adult tells you that you need those warnings and spaces?  They are simply children trying to masquerade as an adult, and trying to lead you into being just as self centered and spoiled as they are.
