FUCK THE POLICE (04-26-2018)
A student at the University of Utah has crafted the perfect sanctuary for the panicked masses during finals week.
Senior Nemo Miller created a "Cry Closet" that will remain in the library on the Salt Lake City campus until exams are over.
A sign on the door reads "A Safe Place for Stressed Out Students Otherwise known as The Cry Closet."
"This space is meant to provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break," a description on the door read.
Five rules of the closet are listed: knock before entering, only one person in the closet at a time, limit your time to 10 minutes, turn lights and timer off before leaving, and use #cryclosetuofu if posting on social media.
Miller, who is currently buried in finals herself, said in a statement that "I am interested in humanity and the inherent complexities of the human condition.
There has been some criticism of the closet, with conservative radio talk show host Joe Walsh, a former congressman, calling the closet "pathetic."
"1944: Young Americans storm the beaches at Normandy. 2018: Young Americans need a "cry closet" because they can't handle taking a test. Pathetic. So damn pathetic," he wrote on Twitter.
However, many have praised the "Cry Closet," and some have asked for more on campus.
"The installation, available for use by all students, has sparked dialogue about expressing emotions, particularly those in public spaces," the university said in a statement. "It is an example of how art has the power to catalyze important conversations and engage the public."

I used to just go to the campus bar, or down by the pond and smoke a bhong.

Inside, the walls are padded and lined with soft fabric. The floor is covered with piles of comforting stuffed animals. The door has two soft lights which can be turned on and off to adjust to each student’s individual comfort.

I have a 'crying garage'.....every time I see the mess in there and try to clean it up I cry....Carrying stuff from left side to the right side just ain't doing it....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

I thought Gen Z were supposed to be huge manly Trump supporters?
"Do not think that I came to bring peace... I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34
Most of you dummies whining about this have never spent a day on a college campus.
.. just like to whine about what other people do who have nothing to do with you.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
