Save the Snowflakes
2017-01-05
[MRC TV] Our nation’s snowflakes are being cared for by colleges and universities across the country. These schools ‐ no, HEROES ‐ are financially supporting cry-ins, hot chocolate, bubbles, kittens, puppies and ponies, crayons, and Play-Doh to comfort these wounded snowflakes. Some schools even canceled exams and classes to ensure that America’s youth are treated with extra care and understanding during these difficult times.

But clearly, state funding ‐ tax-payer dollars ‐ are simply not enough.

State budgets cannot be expected to bear this burden alone. It’s going to take a far more sustainable funding source to ensure special snowflakes have the emotional support they need. In response, we here at the Media Research Center have launched the Save the Snowflakes project to respond to this emergency and bring crucial attention to this devastating human crisis.

The media may not choose to expose this atrocity, but the Media Research Center, through our Save the Snowflakes initiative, is doing much more ‐ we’re taking action! We won’t rest until we save each and every special snowflake from the horrors of exposure to ... things they simply do not agree with.

This is only the beginning! Please make sure to check this site often for vital MRC updates of how our country is coddling the melting snowflakes of American youth!

#9  The millennials in question are the ones in the mid-to-early twenties or younger. Came of age during Obama basically.

#8  OK guys what age do you have to be to earn the default approbation of "an entire generation in their parents basement"?

I've got two sons who will turn 31 & 35 next month. One is a self employed gig type worker doing lighting design and operation at clubs in Boston. Married and been self supporting for years. Wish his work was steadier but the entertainment industry ain't known for that. and he works long hours and late nights.

The other one started his own net working company based on his idea of "Social Made Simple".which is the name of his company. He's making it slowly, just starting to get a salary after 3 years but he's still going strong 2 years after that so he surely doesn't fit the snowflake model.

Yes that is some humble brag but the knock on all millennials drives me nuts since they're not all like that.

Oh yeah the Boston area has a lot of them.that fit that model, like some of my daughter-in-laws brothers but my kids haven't lived in the basement in many years (thank God).

#7  Pampering these whiny kids is not going to serve our country well.

#6   Can you imagine one of these infantile little asses trying to work in manufacturing or construction?

Lucky for them all the manufacturing jobs have moved offshore and the construction jobs are all taken by illegal aliens.

#5  Peoples' Cube is fantastic.

Probably in-part for the anti-paleo agit-prop on that dung-hill campus. Probably in-part their outrageous parodies become pre-cursers of leftist thought....life imitating The Cube. So much so they get the debunking treatment.

Part of the You Shut Up campaign getting started.

#4  In the old days (back when merit counted), colleges were suppose to 'weed out' those lacking in the ability to deal with reality. Then again, the curriculum was a lot smaller and fed dollars were a lot shorter (see-GI Bill) before the Academic-Technology Complex leeched on to the public treasury.

#3  It's the 'People's Cube' at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People's_Cube

While you're there, check out the talk page, it's amusing!

#2  Fuck em,

I gotta tell you the entire generation will spend their lives in their parents basement. Can you imagine one of these infantile little asses trying to work in manufacturing or construction?

A normal conversation on a construction site would probably send one of these little darlings home in tears.

#1  Snowflakes in Wikipedia are trying to remove the entry for The Peoples Cube. If any of you are Wiki-registered editors - help them out.
