Re: The "abortion" joke

LOL

To everyone new to the list: This is obviously absolutely not
appropriate, and it is not at the slightest representative of the glibc
community.

When one doesn't filter what's coming through the "waves [...] on the
Internet", sometimes it just brings a whole lot of garbage that
otherwise circles around itself out there on the ocean :)

If you can't deal with text on the Internet in an adult manner, I don't know how you can manage to lead a responsible life in the first place. If you need safe spaces everywhere, what the hell did your parents do to you?

They conjure up an imaginary offense in order to play the heroic white knight, that saves society from grave injustices. Then they circle-jerk about how they all strive to make society better, while simultaneously making it worse by stifling free speech in the most ironic way possible.

You people are so far off the political correctness cliff, it's about time someone called your bullshit for what it is. And if you wonder how Trump got elected, this is exactly the kind of bullshit that pushes truly free people over the edge. You snowflakes had it coming.
