Tongue in cheek surely?

There are too possibilities here , firstly it could be that the people that complained are over the top parents who found the good old Christmas panto offensive. It mentioned in the article that they went to an 'annual' panto, this suggests that they have been a few times before. As they...

Now adding paranoia to your list of disorders Looney. It's not my fault you can't engage is discussion without losing your shit and abusing people. Not being able to take responsibility for your actions is one of the hallmarks of generation snowflake. Face it, the majority of this board...

The presenter used the analogy of being born with a certain type of car and learning to drive. In simple terms this means that if I was born with innate talent I would be driving a Ferarri without the innate talent maybe someone else would be driving a mini. So on simple tasks and activities the...

We recently did some work on 'Growth Mind Set' an the idea of limited innate ability was at the core of the ideas. Along a similar idea as the '10,000 hours' from books like Bounce. Basically the idea is that we can succeed in any area with enought quality practise and coaching/training...

:lol::facepalm: Ahh the 7 year old response. I know you are but what am I? Only a short exchange of posts with you and I remember why I don't bother with your nonsense. Your posts contain nothing of worth. See ya Snowflake.

Almost anything is easy to pick apart when you only have the slightest grasp of logic and reason. Lets face it Looney, this is why you spend so much time de-railing debate.

I think he has disappeared to his 'safe space', poor lamb.

Even with the increased understanding of brain plasticity? I would have thought that given the brain's ability to rewire itself we would be looking at larger increase on the nurture side.

Losing your shit again Looney? If I didn't reply to those that disagree with you I would never post. Thread after thread is seeing you 'owned' by poster after poster and the best you can do is whine that someone is agreeing with them. Snowflake indeed, much like your hero.

It's what happens when one tries to defend the idea of trump not being a delicate snowflake.

I meet a fair few around and about the place and I agree with your perception. Having been one in 89 I would also agree with this observation :)

I agree that banning such books is ridiculous and that it is a stretch to suggest this is evidence of regressive liberalism in academia and education. It is evidence of schools not standing to their parents and pandering to the vocal minority.

not per se no, depends on what you say.

I agree that the culture of gratuitous labelling of people and crass generalisations is stifling debate and discussion. However I see no particular pattern of this across the generations or the political spectrum. I have noticed it on this thread from your good self, it was only a few posts ago...

no one ever said it does. See my last post for definitions that cover religion. or from your own merriam-webster dictionary 'a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics' Shared interest would cover religious beliefs.

- A group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group: ‘we Scots were a bloodthirsty race then’ - A group or set of people or things with a common feature or features:‘some male firefighters still regarded women as a race apart’...

My experience is that it is usually the people who nitpick about the word's meaning that stifle debate. These people choose to make a big deal of it rather than take the word as it was (usually) obviously intended and continue the debate. the purpose of language is to convey meaning so we can...

Most if not all of them use the word 'verse' as a verb as in 'we versed the other team'. I used to correct them and find it irritating when I first heard it but soon realised that this was language evolving so I embraced it. It is a judgement call like most things, is it an individual making a...

You may not have appropriated it but most current definitions have been appropriated or changed through use at some point. Which definition though? - The fact or condition of belonging to a racial division or group; the qualities or characteristics associated with this. - A group of people...
