Lucy Van Pelt:
Are you afraid of staircases? If you are, then you have climacaphobia. Maybe you have thalassophobia. This is fear of the ocean, or gephyrobia, which is the fear of crossing bridges. Or maybe you have pantophobia. Do you think you have pantophobia?

Charlie Brown:
What's pantophobia?

Lucy Van Pelt:
The fear of everything.

Charlie Brown:
THAT'S IT.

It is ironic that the term is tossed around by adherents to a political movement rooted in self-pity and victimization.

Statism?

OK, so what derogatory names are we allowed to use? Some have a great and glorious history.

Heck the old saying of "you can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" seem to be lost on the last few generations.

Sure no one likes to be called names or ridiculed, nor do they like to be shoved or intimidated by the school bully. However such minor stress on kids is actually healthy in many ways. The future adult life will be filled with much greater challenges, and kids eventually learn how to control their emotions and govern themselves properly, by being exposed to minor stress they can handle when young. They can learn how to handle smaller slights/problems before the big stuff comes when they are adults.

Rest assured if our culture were to go back to the 1940's-50's on how to raise kids, that would help to straighten this society out faster than just about anything else we could do.
For that matter, even the way kids were raised in the 70's-80's would be better than how parents are raising their kids today, to be emotional basket cases.

So you think the baby boomer generation, born and raised in the 1940s and 1950s, is the ideal, right? I agree!

People believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.

In this instance, UK insurance giant, AVIVA surveyed a whopping 2,023 adults in the UK to dertermine their perceptions about the term “ snowflake”
