The only way you eradicate disease is to develop immunity. You develop immunity by exposure.

The PC movement is accomplishing the exact opposite. It seeks to eliminate the offended by eliminating the offensive, but it is actually making us hyper sensitive to offense, thus increasing the thing it seeks to eliminate.

Wanna fix it? Stigmatize the offended, not the offensive.

Isn't there a point at which people should be expected to grow a thicker skin? ...Isn't that point the so-called 'Terrible Twos', when you learn that life isn't just going to cave to your demands whenever you bawl and scream loud enough?

"Those people are watching a movie I don't like, make them stop" is such a self-centered, juvenile demand to make. Just don't go to the movie. It's so easy to never even let this unwanted thing enter your life. But I guess it makes more sense to demand special treatment to the detriment of all of the people who wanted to see it.

Rant over.

That's hilarious. U of M sending a message that if you want to watch movies that won't offend anyone, here is your option.

Where was this group during the football season? I find watching Michigan football far more offensive.

Stanford Is a relatively conservative University. It is home to the Hoover Institute and Condi Rice was once a provost at Stanford. A student poll conducted a few years ago found 67% of students considered themselves conservative.

Good for Harbaugh. The ridiculous political correctness in this country is ridiculous. It's a cancer.

Here's a fancy idea. If the movie offends you, DON'T GO WATCH IT. Whaaatttt? How innovative. How mind-blowingly simple and logical.

Bingo! I hate the filth, obscenities, vulgarity, etc., that is everywhere you turn in this world. I do as you suggest...don't look at it, dont watch it on TV. The generations after mine is in for a very rude awakening when they enter the real world one day.

Ehhh, relatively, yeah it's more conservative than other Universities in Northern California, but Palo Alto is most definitely an extremely liberal environment.

I think what's funny is that so many people here are saying "Oh you're offended by this movie? tough ****, we're doing it anyway" which is exactly what you should do.

Yet most of those same hot blooded americans are fighting tooth and nail to stop gay marriage because it offends them.

There is a difference between what is playing at the theater and what is legislated by government.

Dude its liberal. We just did a student body survey and the results definitely leaned left. You're right about the Hoover Institute though.

True. People just need to stay out of each other's business. Don't like American Sniper? Don't watch it.

Don't like gay marriage? Don't attend gay weddings.

Most who are fighting against gay marriages do so because it's beyond offensive...according to God's word, it's wrong and sinful. Also, have you seen any children raised in gay homes? I have, and to say they are confused is an understatement. There's a reason God made them man and woman. IMHO JMO TIFWIW GBO BBQ BGE

Even if you take religion out of it... Just from a secular point of view:

What is happening with the gay marriage movement is people are being told they MUST participate or pay the consequences. Which is completely unamerican and ridiculous.

Don't like the movie; don't go to it. Why can't that apply with the gay marriage ordeals in Indiana/Oregon/Kentucky/Washington State?
Nope. For some reason liberals can't be satisfied with the legalization of it. They have to force those who don't agree with it to view it/like it/participate in it/endorse it/keep their mouths shut/etc...

Just like with pretty much everything liberal/progressive....give them an inch they'll take a mile
