No. I audited a few lectures by Prof. Peterson-as a matter of interest- my mother happens to be a shrink and I've always had an interest in psychology. His statistical analysis is something to behold and his approach and the treatment of his subject IS the explanation why he is a popular and extremely well respected by students and faculty. He is a brilliant scientist in the world of Twitter.

Great, like Chomsky he knows his field. Most of his time in the news though is for things outside (or at least on the fringes of) his field so like Chomsky is just a well spoken guy with an opinion.

In every grade school class, there's always a child who needs to take a tantrum - usually the kid who thinks potty training is an infringement on his rights to wear a diaper and poop himself.

And sometimes those kids never grow up. They just become Republicans.

To be fair, plenty of left wing Karens too.

The decision to discontinue printing of certain Dr. Suess books didn't originate with kids. It's a decision that was made exclusively by adults who were offended by the imagery in the books, ...

Sorry but it's a decision made exclusively by the company that owns the publishing rights. Are you saying that the owners of property shouldn't be allowed to decide what to do with it?

The woke crowd is composed mostly of cowards, ...

As opposed to alleged conservatives who suddenly decide that corporations shouldn't be allowed to make decisions?

The right had a problem with Michelle's sleeveless outfit but not with an escort and soft porn model in the White house.

How come, we get to see images like this and Sharon Stone's cookie and we don't get to see the "offending" Dr. Seuss images??

It is the same deal with lead paint on toys, it was not the kids that complained that their toys are making them retarded, it was adults making the decision.

With regards to statues, there are some statues which I agree should just let be. But statues of people who fought against the US should be removed. If the US has statues of Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden or Ho Chi Minh, I think they should be removed and so should statues of those who fought against the Union during the US civil war.

Somebody needs to come up with someplace for pigeons to take a dump. Lots better things to do with the bronze.
The term "retarded" IMHO, should be reserved for those who are really behind on everything by their own choice. Ted Cruz would be a good example...

The woke crowd is composed mostly of cowards, which means that Koran is safe. Das Kapital killed more people than Mein Kampf, yet the scribblings of Marx are not on the endangered list.

This better?

Yes, that is what they have said repeatedly.

Well, the people who threatened to kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer and those who stormed the Capitol like Hitler and the Bible way more than they liked the Koran or Marx. So maybe Hitler and the Bible are simply more dangerous in the USA right now.

Bet if we banned compulsory Bible shit in Alabama, America would be far less polarized and dangerous.

I find it hilarious how the right-wing snowflakes get so wound up over a children's book.

All they have is identity politics, so that's what they go with.

Don't be too hard, their reading list is pretty small to begin with.
Nothing about the gays, no hint of communism, even Huck Finn is too radical.

I am suggesting this as their go-to reading material for the next few days:
