America is like this. Do u realize that 20+ states decided isolation in prisons make the prisoners more hostile so they are fazing it out for punishment. Ex. If an inmate cussed out an officer or gets in a fight they get locked up in a cell for a cook down period. They go to an open dorm the next day so they take classes..so are prisons are even getting softer
How the fuck do you make this analogy? Isolation is ineffective but also a punishment for prisoners.
The OP was about the disparity between yesteryear's youth being tough and modern kids. Firstly, much as I hate modern kids (I'm 31), most of us have lived pampered war free lives, so we cannot say, with the odd exception, we saw war at 18. Secondly, adults should be adults - ie lead children. This whole bullshit of safe spaces etc came from some wanker somewhere saying "think about the children".
What worries me more than safe spaces is the proliferation of bans on people speaking at universities instigated by students. Ie the shutting down of free speech.
