People walk out of festival of ideas.. because they are offended by ideas

Reminds me of Will's campfire rant

The irony is strong here.

Asking a question =/= being offended

 

[LuckyBenski]

Surely if you attend such a thing, and disagree with someone's idea, the point is to stay and show disapproval, or even demonstrate why it's wrong? Pretty irresponsible to walk out rather than raising issue with something if you ask me.

Naa, walk out and cry about it to someone who can't do anything about it is the procedure.

 

[Jono8]

What if their idea, was to walk out of the festival?

The gist of it seems pretty spot on to me. The golden age of Islam is a thing, as is warmongering and aggression. Enlightenment and and fighting aren't really uncommon traits for religions throughout the ages.

Not sure what there is to be offended about tbh.

I would love to know what it's like to be offended by meaningless crap like this. What is their end game? Do they think they are making a beneficial difference by complaining about everything? All I see is weakness.

A good sign of intelligence is being able to change your mind and respect other people for having different viewpoints, the perpetually offended are a blight on society because it's their views or REEEEEEEEE. A consistant example of this can be seen below.

The Daily Mail is renowned for the quality of its reporting, editorial and proof-reading standards . . .

St George's Hall said that it is investigation his reference to Islam

"it is investigation" WTF

Incidentally, lay off Johnny Ball, he is a gentleman of advanced years and deserves to be treated with polite, sympathetic, understanding respect

It's good that you can identify when a post triggers you. I recommend going to your safe space for a few hours.

I can really tell I'm getting old when I see stories with this:

Mr Ball - who is the father of Zoe Ball

I loved Johnny Ball when I was a kid and I remember when Zoe was first being mentioned it was the other way around... "Zoe Ball - who is the daughter of Johnny Ball"

Hated his show as a kid because he'd always be on instead of Grange Hill, yes, I'm that shallow.
