Well consider who is taking issue with it, it shouldn't be a surprise

I think the effective difference is that if something comes up on TV with content you don't like, you can flip the channel or turn off. The content of a course isn't something you can opt out of. Its for that reason that I think a lot of academics feel that the warnings 'help' as you can't avoid the content. I think the crux of the matter is whether the trigger warning is ultimately effective - ie to complete the course you still have to experience the content and so the question is, is it possible to effectively mitigate that with simple foreknowledge. If the answer is 'no' then the question is raised of what purpose the trigger warning serves (and is it a step on some slippery slope type of thing) and if the answer is 'yes' then certainly they can have a place provided you look at whether in so protecting the individual are you slowing down their own progress towards recovery or speeding it along. And I don't think there's any one answer to that. Seems it's three lectures, guess we would need to know more on how that course works as well. Fair enough about the comparison with TV, but felt similar in that you get a sense of what you're walking into

Yeah, bit reaching to fight that battle over this, though. They might have a point, am not a psychologist and at worst case...some one wasted ink. Seems like a whole lot of nothing to be concerned about

Karoshi is the ideal

Who is we in this context?Well, I was really attempting to be humorous by ripping off a line from the original Planet of the Apes. But to answer your question the "we" would be the people who can read f-----g play without feeling so traumatized they need to see a f-----g therapist afterwards.Well some people that were victims of attacks like in the play might have some reason to be upset. There is a warning in the notes, how is that skin off your nose? Fine. If anyone whose lover was murdered and then dragged into the woods, raped, and had her hands and tongue cut off feels upset about it I'll sympathize. Otherwise my advice to the poor little dears is to either cowboy the f--k up or read something else. So it's just that people not as hard as you exist that is making you upset?

No the percentage affected matters as much as it is effective. They can waste their effort if they like, but not seeing how this is a line to burning books or something similar. Seeing spiders in the hall is different than material in a play as the latter is guaranteed. Again the warnings you see on TV are quite similar and no one cares.

Doesn't matter. Well unless you are really upset over wasted time and ink, maybe. Seems similar to the warnings you see on movies on TV,heh. I guess the Mail really is on to something

It's like that here, and we don't have any interesting past, heh. Unions are a dirty word for developers I have noticed over the years, heh. Not really worth it, but you get people that think crunch is normal or are blinded by enthusiasm so there's always meat for the grinder

Seems like the Viewer Discretion advised warnings . Big deal.

Yeah but I wouldn't talk to a dude in prison about anything

Kind of funny that talking to strangers is imposing yourself these days

Well was a guess at what could happen. Pretty WAG, for sure. My question there was one, not rhetorical.

So, basically don't talk to women at all in the street.

The congresswoman, you mean. And she is believing the family so if there's any lying it doesn't fall at her feet. Though what should happen even if it did? Guess she can be sued and face other non legal fallout.

Time to get Elex. When it's on sale

Should have gone with beggars can't be choosers actually

Man, you're easy

Did you deck her ? You should have done that.

Gord Downie is dead. Have to say I am skeptical of people saying they wept at the news.

Good bomb or bad bomb ?

Trump would rat himself out for 10 MM

Well it includes harassment as well, so that's not too shocking.

I dunno, definitely is room for doubt that the judge's not (people bringing the complaint probably are) given the nature of the executive order (the nice salting of Chad, Venezuela and DPRK, for example) and its origin. Anyway, the ruling is here for anyone that is curious http://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015f-2bab-d519-a57f-7fabf1450002
