More atrocities of cultural warfare

[aekiy]

Schools are banning hugs, the viewing of line drawings is considered a sexual offense, and I despise the imbeciles of the obsolete generation just a little bit more today.

I Never Thought I'd Say This, But...

What the fuck is wrong with adults?

I really wish I truly understood. Sometimes it seems like we really have produced a good number of people who are fundamentally broken.

Or have nothing better to do than fix what isn't broken.

Did you read the New York Times article? These are people who were shocked and disturbed to hear that people were hugging each other even if they didn't know each other that well. That's a far deeper issue than simply meddling; that's a kind of schizotypal paranoia.

::shivers:: Oh man... And these so-called decision makers are how old? I adore hugs! I like both giving and getting them! How does that make me a person of questionable morals? Does the fact that I have several roflmao moments reading manga make me someone who should be locked up or have a GPS signaler implanted into me to make sure I stay away from anyone under 20 and bookstores?

Holy Shit, Censorman!

There have been studies on the health benefits of hugging, not to mention the social benefits. It disturbs me that people would see a good thing and perceive it as bad so readily. It's so upsetting.

You and me both, sweetie. You and me both. ::huggleclings:: It IS disturbing. And the fact that some of these very same people are in a position of power... ::shudders::

::hugglesquish:: I've had an idea.
