wel dont know for your country. But over here prettymuch ever $ in education is wasted. I think someone like ben was going to visit a university in my country and have a speech or a debate or whatever. And then last second the university didnt want him anymore and they changed all kind of stuff because the didnt like his opinion and he was a guy that would win prettymuch every debate. And offcourse it was not good if a right wing politician or something would actually manage to convince some of the brainwashed left people there that they where wrong. So what they ended up doing is prettymuch make it so that he couldnt talk much at all and they let their left wing brainwashing people do the talking... I myself got kicked out of school prettymuch because i was kind of like Ben, i would win an argument with every teacher and the teacher would look bad. To the point where 1 of them wanted to hit me because i pissed him off so much as he couldnt win the argument because his arguments where shit. Prettymuch like this kid calling him a racist. I think it started with the clothing brand i had on. According to him the teacher it was a racist brand and because i wore it i was a racist. So i asked him what the history of the brand was. He said I DONT CARE, ITS A RACIST ANTI BLACK PEOPLE BRAND. No, its not, its actually founded by a black guy. And then he went on and on about all things around it. But he didnt have any fact ready, he just had his opinion ready. You dont win a debate with your opinion dumbass, you have to get your facts ready and be able to throw them out there. And then the class started to choose my side. Wel guess what? If you piss off a teacher and manage to get a whole class to agree with you you wil get in trouble....

@@CM-iz5ny defending harmful falsehoods for social gain, and failing miserably because a person doesn't really care enough to discern the truth is something you consider brave? Well, that explains a lot of the people claiming to be brace. That's what happens when you try to change the meaning of words. Apparently courageous is now a blend of laziness and stupidity. If that's the case, I agree wholeheartedly. According to your definition, this idiot is a superhero!

[@blablablabla691]

@@Pipizzakitchen To be fair, Ben has an amazing track record at making people who argue against him look foolish. To even try to debate him is stupid unless you really know what you're talking about (which this guy clearly didn't). So it was stupid on the guy's part, but also almost "brave" in the sense that he was willingly walking into a battle that he was almost certain to lose and be humiliated by. Still very stupid though, can't emphasize that enough.

Wait, I've got this. I"m all prepared, been being prepared my whole undergrad indoctrination course. My prof says I can do it. I choose the topic ahead of time, so it will be the enemy caught off guard, he'll be the one who has to react to me: I get to be... what is it that I am? Oh, right: elegant! Elegant and Superior! Nice... ! Wait, why'd they shove that mic in my face before I was ready? Yeah, yeah, I know I said I was ready. Well, okay, no problem! I got this! I'll just start over.... Wait, what? I already started unprepared and no facts and organization all to shit... already? Okay, well at least I was "elegant," oh, wait, no, don't tell me! Damn!... At least this racist hack doesn't see that he's knitting the rope I'll use to bury him! He's asked me if I mind if he supplies my facts to use to argue against him? Yeah sure, that'd be a big help, Ben! Nice: name your poison! Wait, why am I talking again? The coach on my sideline seems to be waving me out?! Nah, I'm fine, I'm ready to go... wait what?! When did I... ? Noo...! I actually asked that, on mic?! WTF was I thinking? Could you, Mr. Shapiro, please let me continue on in my inelegant, unprepared way, so I don't really get any worse than I am right now? Now before they give me the hook, I'm taking ... this .... [YELLS] "RACIST!" down, *drops mic* and big grin! Owned... again!.

@Joe Griffin shapiro was arguing the same points when he was about 14, 15, it's not an age matter with Shapiro. The college kid is an idealist , Shapiro is just very intelligent and hasn't changed his viewpoints since he was a 12 year old , arrogant genius. They're kids , of course they're not 35 yet, I don't see any of the 35 year old's in the town hall asking questions, just making comments about he's nervous or stumbled. Kids are supposed to question things, and then when they go off to college, learn more than us, or don't have to go war, we resent them? You should be proud if your kid's got courage to gulp nervously, but had the intention and confidence up until that point, but still managed to finish a sentence.

[@yupyup2967]

Yeah, I'd also think living through unnecessary bullshit while being molded by others would change some kids' mindsets. Hopefully he won't fall for that trap, and will shape his beliefs with his own experiences and thoughts. And not be a crab in the bucket.
