I was wondering when the generation that was too young to remember that absolute horror of the 9/11 attacks was going to let their ignorant voices be heard.

Prayers to those lives lost in 9/11 and lives lost in the War on Terror.

I work with college students.
None of them believe this.

I love the internet.

Five people can say something...thanks to the internet, it goes 'viral'...and now it's "College Students say such and such nonsense thing - let's all berate them."

This is seriously getting old.

The Daily Beast wrote it and it was pointed out here. Yes it is getting old but those liberals want to be heard. No matter how silly they are.

This is the way many arguments go here. One, two or a handful of people say something and others try to paint every group they dislike with a broad brush of condemnation.

This is seriously becoming EVERY argument, every MEME, every article of "outrage," etc.

It's like we have access to all this information, and everyone keeps getting dumber and less capable of applying rational/reasonable logical thought.

Preach.

I am a college student and no one I know believes anything even sort of close to this. If I ever met someone who told me they think this, I'd laugh really loud because that's absurd.
