| Oct 31, 2019 at 16:16 | comment | added | stupidstudent | you can let smokers smoke outside or have two seperate rooms. But to forbid adult people to decide what they want to do is an absolut no go. And someones preference is no reason to deny other people their freedom. When you prefer non drinking this is fine, maybe someone else prefers to be around non religous people. This does not mean you can ban alcohol or ban religous people. Your preference is your choice but you can't force it on other people. And the eating habits of your friends have nothing to do with this answer. | |
| Oct 31, 2019 at 15:21 | comment | added | gerrit | Considering your last paragraph: if you ban smoking to please the non-smokers, would you also argue that is infringing of the freedom of smokers? The smoking lobby would seem to say so. As a non-drinker, I've universally found events without alcohol more pleasant than events with, and my omnivore friends are often happy to join me to a vegetarian restaurant. | |

| Oct 29, 2019 at 23:56 | comment | added | stupidstudent | The grievance studies claims are backed up by evidence. Please read the article and the collected evidence. They puplished in the journals with the highest impact factor and one paper they puplished was "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, Chapter 12, with "white men" for jews and "women" for "oppressed arian people". They had a controll group for serious sociology, where no paper came through. Please read the article and check the evidence before claiming it is nonsense. In the end over 90% of their papers were accepted, when they cited someone important and work backwards to prove your claim. | |

| Oct 29, 2019 at 21:21 | comment | added | Elizabeth Henning | @llama Yes. And let's be clear that what the "grievance studies" people did is outright fraud. Fields that aren't perpetual targets for this kind of maliciousness never seem to have to put up with this crap. | |

| Oct 29, 2019 at 20:31 | comment | added | llama | I downvoted because the "grievance studies" outrage is a load of nonsense. People dedicating thousands of hours to making things up and getting a small fraction of them accepted for publication is evidence that bad papers can get through peer review (which is true in every field), not that whole fields of academia are irredeemable. They don't even live up to their claims, see eg slate.com/technology/2018/10/… | |
| Oct 29, 2019 at 16:26 | comment | added | Tommi | Asking for explanations for downvotes does not improve the question, so I rolled that edit back. There is, in general, no obligation to explain downvotes, but some people may do so, if they want to. | |

| Oct 29, 2019 at 13:57 | comment | added | stupidstudent | Thank you, you are right. Most of the points are for extra activities. But some points are also useful for the class room. Don't use flashy animations and loud noises for people with severe sensory impairments. Use the simplest language which is sufficient enough to explain the topic, for people who speak English as their second language. Use an official mailing list for people who don't use facebook, whats app etc. | |
