Which is why the world's oldest safe spaces aka churches are supposed to be separate from the government.

Every guy I've seen that's said this kind of thing seems to just want attention, but doesn't have enough of a personality to get it normally

So bored with this shit - this horse is so beat it had a restraining order at its funeral

Being a human among humans at least suggests emotional protection.

Ouch, the edge on this post.

Im going to take a wild guess and say the OP overuses the following words: Triggered, safe space, snowflake, fee fees, offended, PC

Holy shit go suck off Richard Spencer while you're at it. We get you don't like the 10 people who want safe spaces and shit

"Article 4, sec 4: guarantee ... shall protect each of them against domestic violence." Freedom from abuse inferred in constitution.

Yeah! Especially in theatres!

Nobody has a right to not be offended
Including offense at others' offense?
BenjaminBinary
Fuck your emotions
donottouchdonut
It does guarantee bear arms.
ConcernedBystander
To think that one small spelling mistake in the passage that guarantees the right to wear short sleeves should cause so much controversy.

Right? I still haven't received mine

You have the right to bear arms. You don't have the right to a free arm. You came with two anyways.

And the forgotten text of "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state," but that is none of my business.
SomeCrazyNerd
"Well regulated". Aha.

The Constitution guarantees almost nothing
Yes the constiution is just one law documemt that can be amended like any other.
WillTheFifth
Except equal protection under the law.
ThylacineThatCominAMileAway
It is staggering the number of people that fail to realize that your constitutional rights only extend as far as your neighbor's rights.
tehtaxidriver
I have the freedom to ridicule my neighbor, hurt him emotionally. But I can't threaten him or restrict his rights.
seeingsalty
Depends on how far the 'emotional hurt' goes. Eventually it's going to slip into harassment, and that is, in fact, a crime.
Not consitutionally is it? Which is the point. Thw consititution is just the oldest law document not a holy book.
xenburn
and the bible tells us nothing of motorcycle repair
mrmander
The constitution also doesn't guarantee you won't get mauled by a bear but we still take steps to prevent it.
Chillisqueaks
No but many legal systems have protection from nervous harm or emotional damage as a reclaimable head of damages
IPostAboutPoliticsIfYouDontLikeItSuckIt
Way to go out on a limb with your "unpopular opinion", OP. Pretty sure this one is neither.
Hatrax
True. But it's also a good idea to avoid being an asshole, if you can help it.
IJustLikeToArgue
Is it? What exactly makes it a good idea?
MDtheGM
The part where you're not being an asshole? Seems like something we should all strive for.
HitandRyan
Exactly. Flag burning bans, safe spaces, censorship of gay couples and T&A in media, all are equally incompatible with the First Amendment.
isthisnecessary
I think people misconstrue "safe spaces" sometimes - what's wrong with a place where for exampleLGBT youth can feel free to be themselves?
It depends on the example. It has been used for silencing policies.
Universities have been denying right wing authors and media personalities a chance to speak on the grounds of being "safe spaces."
I believe that we should let them air their views, debate them, and prove them wrong, rather than simply suppressing them.
Omny
What about the whole "pursuit of happiness" thing? Y'know, it's one of those inalienable rights thingies?
You're free to do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't infringe upon other people's rights... And I can call you a window licking twat
But being called a twat doesn't make me happy. Seems like you just want to talk like a childish bully without being called out on it.
Doesn't matter if my words make you sad, you can ignore me... But partially I haven't called anyone a window licker or twat in a long time

This isn't really an unpopular opinion... please meme correctly
SonOfTheShire
It's not an opinion at all, is it? It's presumably a fact.
FerrousBuehler
It's unpopular for the 25 and under crowd.
Pandaphant
You do realize that like 99.9% of Imgur is under 25 and still circlejerks the fuck out of this shit, right?
Hell, we got kids suing the government because of allowing climate change.
Being on here for 20 minutes has shown me that with the things posted in usersub
What's your point?
azzurrivincitore13
that the real world doesn't give a damn if you're a whiny baby
My school recently started a policy that everywhere on campus is a "safe space," this was my opinion in light of recent events
ravedomo
It's not an opinion though
aleister94
I'm confused do you think people shouldn't be safe?
Your school is allowed to enforce their own rules.
I can have an opinion though. Does my opinion hurt your feelings?
Fatpicasso
it isn't an opinion, its a fact
LazloBasement
No, it just means you're an idiot. "Safe spaces" have ALWAYS existed, and you use them as well. Everyone does without realizing it.
No, it just means you're an idiot. The idea of, and using "Safe spaces" isn't new. They've always been there.
I don't know. I haven't heard your opinion yet.
ItTastesLikePurple
This reeks of "The constitution does not guarantee your emotional protection so shut up so my fragile emotions are protected"
Foxtrot0245
... What?
In short, the people who rail against "safe spaces" talk in a way that suggests they want the world to be their own personal "safe space".
I think you may be lumping a vast number of people into a narrow category in order to stereotype them.
SAWhowhatnow
That's 1000% what it is.
runofthemillusername
this sounds like projection
TheEightfoldPath
You don't need to have fragile emotions in order to point out that others have. It just becomes an idiotic back and forth of "no, you".
True, but I've seen a recent trend of the "fuck your feelings" crowd proving to be painfully oversensitive.
MissAizea
Mention little dicks on imugr and prepare for the down votes. Definitely sensitive people here
Tunisia
Trump begging for a lack of political commentary in theatre, for example...
Or the people who yell "facts not feelings" to the "SJWs" get caught up in fake propaganda and run 100% on cognitive dissonance...
nitrojunky24
It was nothing more then a cheap distraction from his trump university case on the very same day and most most of the media fell for it.
JayhawkSupreme
Yep. Wish others saw this too
But it does guarantee all persons equal protection under the law.
kaztas
Protection of rights, not feelings
A lot of people seem to be under the impression that expressing displeasure is somehow not protected speech for some reason
That's the funny thing. It seems more that one side wants their free speech while deeming the other side as bigotry and intolerant. -->
That not having to hear a side that offends them or hurts their feeling is something that's a right and is being infringed. That is BS to me
I don't think you understand how few people do that though. Most don't want to be one of those crazy college incidents.
