[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3284334, member: 5412"] Earlier this week. Oxford University student council voted to abolish clapping at all future commencement ceremonies because it's offensive to the hearing impaired with sensory sensitivity. “Loud noises, including whooping and traditional applause, are argued to present an access issue for some disabled students who have anxiety disorders, sensory sensitivity and/or those who use hearing impairment aids,” the UK student council representatives wrote in a statement on Oct. 23." [URL]https://nypost.com/2019/10/25/oxford-bans-clapping-to-avoid-upsetting-students/[/URL] Are you shatting me? Our snowflakes are so sensitive now they consider noise like clapping when those that are hearing impaired are in a room with those that are not? I've had a major hearing loss since the 70's when in my 20's. How about all of you STFU when I'm in attendance at an ENS at one of our ranges? I might be offended by golly!! Some of you hit the keyboards too hard! QUIT!!! I'm offended. WTF is this snowflake world going to do next? What could possibly be the next "offensive" thing that these shrunken minds be thinking? I'm offended by reading the link. [/QUOTE]
