Free Speech Rules!!!!
@@littlemoutha9998 Your fascism don't work in a free world to think of its own.
Ben is obviously highly intelligent, but what's probably more impressive is his willingness to simply say "I don't know" when he's faced with a question that he's unsure of the answer.
Agreed.. it is a amazingly rare quality.... and one that should be emulated.
It's obviously better than the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez approach which is basically saying nonsense and then when asked to elaborate just say "Oh, actually I'm not an expert!"
In my opinion, the willingness to answer a question with "I don't know", is a sign of intelligence. Only an idiot believes that he knows everything.
He does say "I don't know much about the subject" pretty frequently. You'd know if you watch him often.
In this speech at 50:49
I’ve heard him talk about the same thing a million times and I still can’t get enough
Me too
Jesus Christ says it better. But - yes - Ben is good . Yes he is .
Factsss
Too bad Ben is getting cucked by groypers these days. He wants to be Israel first? Fine, that will be his downfall.
When everyone is wrong, it's refreshing to hear people who are right. Same with Jordan Peterson et al.
Wow as someone who was in a coma following a car accident I'm so glad the kid who saw no such reason for me to be kept alive wasnt in charge of my life while recovering. So grateful to have a family who cared about me enough to see the benefit of allowing doctors to help save my life.
Wow. Amen. Just crazy
Ben: So, let me get this straight
The other guy: Why do I hear boss music?
Hamish Cormack this deserves more likes I’m dying
*"fetch me their SoULs!"*
@@ColinWeeks llqpAZpxlllll
Hahaha😂 the tension during the wait was palpable
Me after watching half an hour of this: "Wow. People really get excited over facts. It's almost like they hardly get to hear any."
they dont they listen to CNN hahaha
I know!!! When I am class now a days I just get pissed off because a lot of what my teachers say is 100% untrue
Julie Symonds this dude had no facts. He is purely contradictory and stupid
@@hardwrkmadesimple1036 please give examples of what you are saying.
@@HolyGround777 _"because a lot of what my teachers say is 100% untrue"_
Yes, they are lying about mathematics and lunch time.
I wish every college campus would host this kind talk. Young people need to hear this.
Open debate on campuses!
The left is terrified of common sense talk from people like Ben Shapiro. This is why they do everything they can to keep young people from hearing these messages. Radical leftists do not want young people to think for themselves and instead stoke hate and violence.
@@lincbond442 Their view of the world is through emotions. Logic and reason is cruel in their eyes.
They try to but get blocked by the left wing indoctrinators that run/work at the universities and/or met by violent left wing student protests organized by their indoctrinators.
They can see it on TH-cam 🤷🏼♂️😁
I am NOT Fat: I Identify as Skinny. Therefore I am *Trans-Slender*
ahahahahahahahah lmfao this is good
I'm gonna have to steal this sorry
Oh I am sooo using that first chance I get lol. I’m a father and grandfather so I have poetic license to tell corny jokes as much as I feel like lol. My son always rolls his eyes when I tell a particularly extra corny one. Recently I’ve caught him telling my grandson some of the jokes i use to tell him when he was just a boy.
There’s a question for everyone
Is it “I used to” or “I use to”?
✊🏽
@@prepperjonpnw6482 this weirdly halsome
Ben- “take personal responsibility” and “facts don’t care about your opinions”
ENOUGH SAID!!! Thank you Ben! ❤️🙏

I would pay to see Ben Shapiro and Justin Trudeau in a debate.
Justin trudeau would be crucified by Ben. Justin is already a joke + he has a hard time articulating in press conferences (he shouldnt have such issues when hes the prime minister)
Yes. 🙏🏻
Ben Shapiro PM 2020
@legopopparty Ben's presents doesn't allow for such cowardice tactics.
I’d give my left leg to see that.
I'm glad UBC had the courage to let him speak there.
@mysteryman2024 Aww, thank you so much. :)
I’m glad you decided to put a picture in your profile ;)
@@blacjackdaniels200 @bLaCjAcK Daniels - Lol. :)
Me too
Dani marry me?
Incredibly impressed with the Canadians who exhibit respect and when in disagreement with Ben. America’s left can learn something here.
The majority of liberals in American universities have perfectly respectable conversations with him. The ones that *really* need to learn something are college kids in the UK
Wow I’m so glad he had such a large positive crowd in Canada
And at UBC of all places
*Ben Shapiro Invades the UK* severely needed.
I dont want ben to get arrested
notthat shafiq yea right lol, he would get “how dare you”d to death before being hauled away for months. Only if he was from the UK though 😂😂
No they'd hold him under terrorist laws like they've done to Brittany pettibone, her boyfriend (activist) & the other who wanted to interview Tommy R. Banned like Pamela gellar, Richard Spencer & dr. Bill Warner.
@@notthatshafiq8674 There was never a risk for him to be arrested,. These things do not happen by police arrest. They happen by "human right courts" that work by lawsuits and fines. And the human right courts hate having flashlights aiming at them. When they did this shit to Mark Steyin he turned up the heat to eleven and they probably know better than to try the same shit on a person with a big persona.
I’m a fan apart from his religious views and criticism of the Nhs.
I was pro choice, I am 100% now PRO LIFE! Arguments for this were made clear and precise and any level thinking person should understand this.
Reading this gave me hope! So awesome. Good for you!! Every life matters.
The fact that you thought any other way concerns me! I have been against abortion since I was in my early teens. The fact that you don't have the wit to figure things out for yourself means that you could probably be persuaded to take you original stance, doesn't it!
Glish the fact that you arnt pleased with someone changing their mind after being presented with the facts, Then there is something wrong with you. That’s the entire reason we have Q&As and debates. So people can be persuaded. Wow you sound so arrogant and egotistical.Smh.
Glish your argument has no basis and completely uneducated. I had a view based on what I knew and now that I've LEARNED and understood more about the choices, I changed my way of thinking. Logic overcomes opinions every time. Good luck to you though... You sounds like a swell person to be around. "What?! You spent $50k on an education you could of learned at the local library for $2.75 in late fees?!". Grow up kid! 😀👍
@@TLifeDailyVlogs Ignore people like. It takes a lot of courage to change your mind, it is a tough thing to do. 10 years ago I was pretty much a hardcore socialist, after finally digging deep past the surface, I was forced to change my whole world view. The amount of humility required to change your mind should never be understated, it was tough!
That exchange was fantastic. As a young French person, living in Canada, I find such views really positive, refreshing. They contrast starkly with the ubiquitous voice of big media pushing leftist and a victimization agendas. To hear these views from articulate and genuine people, most of them are young like me gives me hope! I'm not alone and these points are shared by reasonable people too!
Such a pleasure to see so many decent conservatives in Canada . Love that you have such courage . Your leader needs to be voted out . Keep up the good fight !!!
Thanks man hope that liberal leaves I hope conservatives come back in Canada for us :(
Yes who voted for this one???
CONservatives, lmao u guys are a dead mouvement ^^ woOsh wOosh see you in history book in 40 years on how yall where stupid anti progress for society ^^

"facts don't care about your feelings"
My favorite quote of Ben Shapiro
the book is even better
it's just important to not use that as an excuse to use facts to primarily offend people
Use facts to support your claim validly
then once they bitch about their feelings
pull that card
America loves Canadians. I consider ya'll my fellow brothers and sisters
Yes so true many of us love you guys and Pres Trump!! 🌹❤
We love you too!

MAPLE SYRUP!!!!!
Way to go, UBC! I think all Universities should have a FREE SPEECH CLUB!
Ben Shapiro is legit a ninja Jedi with words. His mental acuity and ability to think quickly and speak articulately is remarkable
As of Jan. 15, 2019, Ben turned 35 and is eligible to become president of the U.S. But will he run? If he ever decides to to run, and if I'm still alive, he will have my vote. The first Jew ever to hold that office -- and to be a conservative -- would be AWESOME!
Please Ben, you would save this country.
Is Ben an American born citizen?

@@Eric-nk3mh that's 4 things
@silkhead44, you need to define
"hurt people"..
Fantastic. As a former Vancouver resident, born and raised, UBC has a reputation among some as being a far-left indoctrination institution that does not welcome free thought. I tip my hat to all those who participated and, even if they disagreed with Ben, were willing to listen to and engage his opinions. Well done.
I’m watching this a little late but honestly I love that he has the courage to say what so many people are scared to because they won’t be considered “PC”. I love Ben !
"If you want to have a good life look in the mirror first, then start worrying about everyone else." This is my take away from this.
*applauds from home
lmao
I also did it when he said "it's a full house". Look like there is some hope for Canada
care to share your superpowers?
I thought I was the only one. 😀🇨🇦
I have been watching Ben’s videos for 5 hours and those five hours have been the best.
My father was in a coma for a year. Woke up a different person. Had some memories. I was the child born after his coma. Raised me with his disability and all I saw was my dad.
God bless you and your father, my friend
You can’t have a rational argument with facts. Which is why the left don’t like Ben. He is so intelligent and well prepared
92alphagal lol he really is
Free Speech, ALL of it, the good and bad, MUST be protected, or we are NOT FREE PEOPLE!!
This Canadian man is with you
You are Canadian, you are not a free person.
@bob wach wat
Not all speech is converted by the first amendment
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!! You take my freedom to speak you've taken my freedom to think
Got to admure the balls in the guy to stay consistent in his argumentation whilst in front of a massive crowd booing at him. People usually cave in those situation and try to excuse themselves for making the argument. Respect mate
Ben - I’m not nice enough to be a Canadian.
Canadian - “ you’re nice”!
Ben - Thank you, that’s very nice of you.
I cant believe Ben was allowed to speak anywhere in Canada 🙌🙌🙌
Ben would be very welcome here in Alberta.
volcano804 Me too! I'm in the lower mainland, God I wish I knew this was going down.
P.G. Reitsma I bet he would. All of my friends ended up working/living there. I'm from BC. You are our neighbors to the right, in a lot of ways.
Donald J. Trump Mr. President. You're absolutely right. I have it on good authority he's still retired to his safe space, wearing his newest, gender-appropriate, lgbtq socks. Please keep up the excellent work to the south of my border. The states are lucky to finally have a President with balls, with all due respect, and a first lady who doesn't.
MrLolmaster101, Pewdiepie will command his 9-year-old army to protect him. He loves Ben Shapiro.
The guy is not only trying to help people. He's trying to save lives.
How he's trying to save lives by paying him you fake people
As a Canadian im proud of the questions asked by these students. Reasonable questions without attacking the guest speaker.
I love Ben's talks. Hes very bright and mostly correct. I do love the slogan "facts dont care about your feelings." So many people need a reality check and I think their eyes are being opened in 2020. The sad state of the U.S., and the world, is in is the result of massive stupidity run amok over time. Perhaps we'll wake up and get it right. We are most definitely at a crossroads. The more difficult road, through the narrow gate, is probably the right choice. Thank you FSC and mr. Shapiro, from the U.S..
I'm an Aussie, obviously here in Australia. Americans need to push for him to be your next president. I'm not religious. I'm not aligned to any political party. I'm not a homosexual. I'm not a transgender male. I'm definitely not a lefty nut job. I'm just a normal single childless employed white bloke who knows Ben Shapiro talks sense, truth and logic, something lacking in many people today.
Amen - fellow Queenslander. Hope he comes to Australia sometime as we need a straight talking brave conservative to jolt the voters out of their apathy.
I know this is a random 2 month old TH-cam comment but do you have a cone to spare mate?
@Roland Deschain Nah mate I'm talking about punching a fat cone, already rezzed out the billy
Yes he does need to come here. This PC crap is ruining our society.
@@purple2275 Hope he goes there. Afterall you deserve him after voting down the bill to make Australia a republic.
I had the pleasure of flying from Los Angeles to Vancouver with Ben. He was so hospitable and friendly. I really appreciated his grace and demeanor. What a class act!
He left California, lives in Florida now
He's afraid he might end up in jail for stating obvious facts? I'm so glad I don't live in Canada.
Pretty sure he was joking
@@kenahenakew8761 I am Canadian Ben is right no such thing as freedom of speech
I wish I lived in America I'm actually planning to if I can get enough money together
And Canadian health care is horrible you could wait 4 years to find out if you have cancer depending on which province you are in
@@kenahenakew8761 No, he wasn't. You can be arrested for saying anything about Islam or about a person who happens to be Muslim.
Whenever I see any audience give Ben Shapiro a standing ovation I get all choked up.
As a young Canadian in high school, ben has converted me from the mainstream Canadian norm of leftism.
Good. Because if you came to a high school in Saskatchewan, you would get glares.
High school student from Ontario here! Thank you for having an open mind.
KING DOY from America in most of the states the do this through leftist beliefs but Ben sharpies and Steve crowder changed my mind
Welcome to the party pal, articulate your views whenever possible and when a leftists tells you you're wrong make the best defense you can; then go home a look up as many facts as you can on the subject and by the time you get to uni, if that's your plan, you will be so tough and articulate you will be able to really push back against the Marxists. That goes for every high school student! learn young, we can't let the left virtue signal us into submission any longer.
Me too

Best comment
lmao you are a legend
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
couldn't stop laughing
Lmfao
That is SAVAGE! Put Canada's speech code to shame. Love it.
Ben's comment on Trudeau - "Being a handsome version of Bernie Sanders does not qualify you to be Prime Minister." That was the best line of of the whole night! Go Ben!
If Ben Shapiro says Bernie Sanders and Justin Trudeau are the same this dude has no idea what he’s talking about. I can’t believe he said that could you post the time stamp. If he really did say that wow
Nima Bernie Sanders is very progressive Justin Trudeau is not. Justin Trudeau should be compared to Obama more here’s why. He supports the pipeline, gives out corporate tax cuts and welfare, continues to arm Saudi Arabia, is for free trade deals, his carbon tax does not go after the biggest polluters and still has not done much for free college or universal pharmacare. Justin Trudeau is like I said a Obama. He is centre right and Bernie Sanders should be compared with Canada’s NDP party not the liberals. There’s a lot more but that’s just the stuff I remembered off the top of my head.
Matt Murdoch - the time stamp is 1:22:18
As to the other reply saying that Liberals can more be compared to Obama - Ben's comparison was to the man not the party. Having said that I do believe that as time passes the the difference between Liberals and NDP are less and less distinguishable.
Nima ok but none of that is policy. I could care less about what they say. When looking at these people it’s important to look at how they govern because that’s what their job is. I can almost guarantee that Trudeau says those things to get media attention and it works. Instead of covering actual policy they constantly cover how he said peoplekind or whatever other silly thing he does. That way Mr. Progressive is able to pass right wing policy and still look good to his base.
lmbc well he’s head of the party and if right wing policy’s keep passing under him he is not a “handsome Bernie Sanders” because Bernie Sanders would not do that.
His defense of fact and open discussion is very refreshing. I think he's an incredibly positive influence on society. That doesn't mean I share or agree with all of his opinions, but overall he's great to listen to.
He is interesting because he states the truth and can support it with facts.
That one guy who was taking about pulling the plug on a guy in a coma is the definition of why u don’t argue with Ben Shapiro
Thank you, UBC for at least allowing Ben Shapiro to speak. This put Berkeley to Shame!
You are welcome in Canada anytime Ben! God bless you and thank you for being a voice of reason and common sense in an unreasonable and no common sense world.
Late, but did you hear Trudeau on the Paris attacks?! "We have free speech but we must be careful with what we say" is NOT an appropriate response to a teacher being beheaded for showing a cartoon of Muhammed.

OMG!!! 😳 I am honestly SHOCKED that UBC has allowed Ben Shapiro to speak on their campus!!! BRAVO!!! 🥳🎉👍👏🏽 Congratulations to the Free Speech Club! You’re AWESOME! 🌹
Such laws do violate free speech. USA is blessed to have freedom of speech
@Claudie LeBeau that's kinda depressing
Sun Shine not for long the left is trying to get rid of it and as they do the 1st will be gone as soon as they get rid of the 2nd and 14th in that order and the college students being taught by liberal standards are the ones who will be giving away there rights thru indoctrination The professors dont care your opinion only if you spout what they want you to think thats there facts not true facts
@Claudie LeBeau freedom of speech means that the government can't silence you. It does not apply to a job.
@Claudie LeBeau if you work at Wal Mart and start telling people to shop at Target, they'll most likely get rid of you. It's sometimes unfortunate when people get fired for something they said, but again it is not protected by the constitution.
Gerry Lee Do you know how an Amendment is removed? First, no one can remove a god given right in the U.S., the president of the united states cant even remove a right. Because our rights were not given to us by the government.
The only way to remove an Amendment, is by a 75% majority rule by BOTH political parties, the right and the left. And thats just to put it through the process. Many many times the demacrats tried to alter or remove the first and 2nd amendments, but they never could, because they never could get it passed that first stage of voting.
Thats why you barely see the gun control debate on liberal media networks anymore, because they know its a loosing subject for them, it always was.
Claudie LeBeau - In a court of law, yes free speech is protected. No one can take you to court for bad mouthing someone, and you cannot be arrested for it either. However, if you say "Im going to kill you", thats not speech, thats a threat and a call to action.
But yes, free speech is protected in the US, even in a court of law. And if you have proof that your rights are being violated, that is very serious federal crime.
I am an Albertan and had given up that there were thinking people left in BC. This gives me hope. Thanks for hosting this event.
Well he went back to the US after he was done. So there are still no thinking people lol.
This guy is a hero... Well done. Incredibly articulate and has the willingness to speak the truth within a logical context in attempt to educate people for the betterness of society. Everyone else seems to be making laws, policies, and rationalizing by looking at society through a pair of binoculars with the lens caps on.
“That’s just silly talk” Ben is awesome
Ben Shapiro, the man who can give an hour speech in 30 minutes without skipping over anything.
… And, answered 45 minutes worth of audience questions.
As a Canadian I would love to have free speach but need to cross the border into the US to do so.
Ya we have the illlusion of free speech... there is a compelled speech law being pushed through, its an anti Islamaphobia bill, we need a licence to do everything but make babies. Lmao
Same, but at least we got the int- oh no....
*It's the Anti-Free speech police, RUN!*
Trust me Godric, you’re not going to find too much of it down here anymore either.
@@urban1413 still cant be arrested or be legally punished by the government for what you say.
how do you feel about it now lmao
There is seeing Ben doing a QnA happy. Then there is seeing JJ asking Ben a question during QnA happy.
Congratulations to Free Speech Club and UBC for allowing free speech to happen on campus. Its refreshing to see a leading Canadian university allowing conservative views to be heard by students who can then judge for themselves the merits or demerits of the views put forth. I hope more universities will follow this lead.
I was there! Great to see him live in person!
Jordan Boostmaster , lucky bugger. 😂😂😂
Jordan Boostmaster - OMG LUCKY YOU...!!! What's it like to be in a roomful of RATIONAL AND SANE PEOPLE...?!? 😂😂😂 Being in Winnipeg ... I figured that Vancouver - of all places - WOULD NEVER ALLOW BEN SHAPIRO TO SPEAK...!!! Maybe there's some hope left for Canada after all ... maybe logic - rationale and reason will spread across Canada just-in 😂 time to KICK TRUDEAU IN HIS FIRM ASS AND OUT OF OFFICE before the end of 2019 ... where oh where is OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP...?! I WILL FOR SURE watch to see who President Trump approves of before voting 👍 Anyone who has their head shoved up Obama's ass and between Hillary's Cellulite Flaps THE WAY JUSTIN TRUDEAU DID 😱 SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF CANADA...!!! Trudeau smiled like a silly schoolgirl who was "near her crush" WHENEVER HE WAS WITH THOSE TWO CORRUPT AND EVIL PARASITES 😵 LET'S MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN...!!!
there were actually no protesters either! Just some safe spaces made for those that had a hard time dealing with the presence of the Shapiro
Same here. Surprised as hell there was no protesters. Thought there was a chance me or my friend may get bikelocked on the way there lol.
Lucky you!
I've never seen so many MAGA hats being worn freely in the open at a campus before... in Canada, no less! Impressive.
Right on! If evil isn't conquered by righteousness righteousness will be conquered by evil.
@Tereigh Keating-Hart Hopefully, Max is our "Trump", cuz it sure ain't the Beave...
Easily half of the "free speech club" are likely antifa NPCs or liberals who would vote for Hillary that don't believe in gun rights either.
These kids with MAGA hats are either idiots or trolls and are no better than the idiots on the left. They are probably worse as those people sincerely believe they are trying to make the world a better place while these kids are just trying to piss people off. You live in Canada, Trump isn’t your president and Ben Shapiro isn’t Milo.
@@60degreelobwedge82 kinda like the assholes who wear those Che Guevara shirts, lol
LOVE when he says that people who have children out-of-wedlock are irresponsible!
I don’t think a person is irresponsible if they then follow through and raise the child and stay together as parents.
I love how Ben puts the conversation to the person asking the question about abortion to rest at about 41:40 by exposing his thought process.
"So killing Fluffy, the Hamster, not cool, but killing someone who will wake up in 9 months with memories problems, totally fine."
What is that guy thinking? Did he not recognize the trap that that Ben used? Nine months is the time it takes for a baby to develop inside the womb. And putting value on animals over someone that is a family member? That's utterly cruel. The worst thing is to think and act so poorly towards someone, then when they pass, that individual will regret their decisions for the rest of their lives because they couldn't bring themselves to apologize to them. That's the power of psychology, and Ben probably realized that this was how this guy actually felt and thought.
Thank you for coming into Canada! We need more conservative voices here.
That MAN definitely deserved the standing ovation at the end
I've liked Ben since the very first time I heard him speak. And after all these years I've never been disappointed even once.
Who would have thought that things would go downhill so much and so quickly for Canada.
1:03:34 "Politicians are in the business of lying to you" - Shapiro's best statement.
What a man, husband, father, and citizen should aspire to be.
What, a book selling shill for corporatism?
His wife is a doctor
I totally agree.
I could only hope to be half as smart as this man. Highly intelligent.
I'm surprised Canada allowed this free speach.
Great to see again. I save to go look up information for debates. Also, what intelligent students in Canada
Wow! Bravo to Canada for receiving Ben in a polite and respectful manner. Sad he can't get that treatment in his own country.
Here in Europe Canada is considered the ,,sane“ country in nordamerica. After hearing these stupid laws against free speech i changed my mind:)
Canada is a trainwreck compared to the US
Europe has laws against Holocaust denial and the UK in particular JAILS people for expressing hateful ideas. Canada is a beacon of hope compared to most of the rest of the west.
The only reason Canada doesn't have a permanent left wing government is because we have two federal left wing parties. @@clearsky4042
Here in North America we believe that any country that host US military base is not a sovereign country.
We also believe that if US did not get involved in WW2, the Red Army would have reached the Atlantic Coast.
We also believe that most of the world looks up to US as a leader in science, technology, business and democracy.
With Trudeau in power here in Canada sanity is gone. #Trudeaumustgo
He is such an SJW that he is single handedly ruining our country.
He should run for President!
I love smoking a joint, then sitting down for a great Lecture from Ben!! This is one man I'd love to shake his hand!!
I was there. What a roller coaster of an experience! Definitely worth it to go see him live
We are incredibly happy to hear you enjoyed the event!
Free Speech Club?
I don’t understand how you could edit/cut a portion of the talk out!
Even if compelled by law or basic human decency, it’s your job to run the damn video out whole!
Whether you agree with Ben or not, he really does provide a good example of constructive debate.
Love me some Ben Shapiro! 👍🏽
"Gender equality means that sometimes women make choices that feminists don't like." This statement reflects my thoughts about how disconnected leaders of feminism are from my own views and desires.
He was spot on that today young adults of a certain group are threatened by any sort of challenge against their narrative ,in normal life it's called disagreeing but they see it is everything but disagreeing.
The amount this man cares about people, children, decency, and freedom is so refreshing these days!!!
Crowd: Cheers
Ben: oH shIT a chance to hydRATE
😂😂😂😂 so true
I see what you did there ;)
That wasn't water, it was lubricant. Otherwise, it's impossible to talk so fast. ;)
Hard work I'm sure

In Canada you guys have Jordan Petereson who makes similar points.
Hey... you created Him, you keep Bieber...
In the USA we need less Israel and more America First so I hope you get your wish and Ben stays in Canada.
The fact a brilliant person must spend an hour stating common sence facts says it all. A shocking time to live for an intelligent person over 25 . 1984 was 30 years late .
Kenneth Edwards Ummm, Did you not see how you spelt ‘sense’ in your comment about intelligent people?
C Hartnett shut up, how are you to say how smart someone is just because the spelt something wrong?? What if it was an accident
Rebecca It’s very easy Rebecca, for instance, I know you are an uneducated
twat by reading your comment.
- ‘how’ as you wrote it, should be ‘who’.
- ‘the’ should be ‘they’.

I'm a gay man in the UK and I can find nothing with which to disagree in Ben's analysis of sexual/gender orientation. There are indeed two genders, one has a willy and the other does not, it's quite simple.
Whatever factors are involved with gender confusion, they cannot be treated by having the rest of society pander to the whims of immature, insecure morons. I have children and grandchildren and all I want for them is the best possible.
Neither of my children have homosexual tendencies and my grandsons are too young to be concerned about such things. If one (or both) grew up with such tendencies or even some form of gender identity conflict, they would continue to get 100% of my love and support.
As Ben says, stating the facts has nothing to do with trying to be mean to others, they are simply facts and this propensity to mollycoddle people into a false sense of identity or entitlement is dangerous, not only to them but to the rest of society.
So far as Ben's stance on gay marriage or relationships is concerned, that's his prerogative and I don't plan to lose any sleep over such things - he is perfectly entitled to his view, just as I, and everyone else is - that's what freedom of speech is all about and on that subject I agree 100% with Ben.
@@kevinklassen4328 I see your point but I am happy being a man but just attracted to masculinity but at the end of the day, I quantify and identify myself as a parent and grandparent. I know that being gay was not a conscious choice and that no amount of denial would make it go away but the only real danger is external in that it is what others think and feel that have a serious impact - at least in the early days - so there is enormous pressure to conform.
Now that people are minding their own business and not making out of hand assessments based on sexual preferences, the landscape for 'acceptance' is much clearer.
My concern for transgenders is that many appear to be self-destructive, wanting to have pieces of their body removed, or additional parts added. There comes a point where this might be the only course of action for the individual and I wholeheartedly support them in that informed decision but again wonder how much of that decision is based on non-acceptance by society - are they being pushed into rash actions rather than being allowed the space and time to consider their options?
There is an increasing trend to force vulnerable children into the confused state that leads to those with gender identity problems to consider taking their own lives and I cannot understand why a parent would wish that on their children. If, by their own processes, one of my grandsons (or both) came to determine that they were gay or perhaps felt trapped in the wrong body, I would be accepting of that but would not go out of my way to nurture it.
My daughter wanted to be Scooby-Doo when she was little, then a ballerina, then a wide range of other things which caught her fancy along the way, the same was true of my son. They, being twins raised together, had ample opportunity to play with each others toys - as they often did, but they each gravitated to the things which interested them personally but I never once told them what they should or should not be interested in.
May daughter has a friend from college who now identifies as a man. My best friend has a daughter who became, in her own time, to acknowledge that she is a lesbian. You see, I come from a mixed background where gender and orientation have come about as a natural process. I have no idea if my daughter's friend has undergone surgery and I would not ask but I call her 'Adam' as that is her chosen name. I would not ask whether she had undergone surgery and if, by any chance, she were to ask my advice on it I would caution her to be very certain before going ahead.
As I say, I am concerned where children are expected to make life-altering decisions about their sexuality or their gender at a point in their life when they are unable to deal with such things. The fact is that there are only two biological sexes or genders or whatever other word is used - in binary terms you are either a one or a zero and while you may alter and adjust, through chemical intervention, the outward appearance of the one or zero, they will revert when such interventions are removed.
We now have the prospect of 'gender fluid' which is the most inane concept imaginable. Something in a state of fluidity can be seen as constantly changing, this is simply not possible yet society is expected to honour that fluidity with an every growing range of pronouns which are nonsensical and, in many cases, offensive - I have no intention of calling anyone 'it'.
If a person presents me with their chosen name - whether it fits their apparent gender or not, I will be more than happy to call a female 'Adam' or a male 'Eve' but I will not bend to the suggestion that the fluid river of their gender is such that you much fish for the appropriate pronoun and then be berated for getting it wrong.
The case for nature over nurture is difficult to answer but your suggestion that my being gay is a product of my environment cannot be ignored although I can't identify anything in my life to suggest that I was influenced in any way.
As I say, my concern is not that there are transgender people in society although I empathise with those who have been treated so poorly that they wish to end their lives and I wholeheartedly support their decision to take whatever steps make their lives worth living. I do not however, feel it is appropriate for parents to coach their children in such a way as to force them to explore something which may never have crossed their mind and then to rush immediately into surgical interventions before the child has had time to really get to grips with what is being suggested to them.
I raised my children as a single parent so my influence was there all the time but I was not a 'gay' parent, I was simply a father, a role which I thoroughly enjoyed and miss now that my kids have grown. They are both heterosexual but also kind and loving to everyone, they accept people for who they are and by their actions - kind people are welcome, unkind people are not, it's that simple.
Parents should teach acceptance of others so that children can go into society with an open mind, without preconceptions and without bigoted views and outlooks towards other people based on colour, ethnicity, race, creed, gender, age or sexual orientation. Perhaps in this way, we can build a society where everyone can feel comfortable in their own skin and not feel obligated to rush into making decisions by cruelty and bigotry.
@@DiogeneseAssociates I agree with most of your concerns. Don't want kids doing life-altering surgeries early, or being convinced if they are effeminate or a tomboy that they must be the opposite gender etc etc. That said there are legitimate people who are born appearing one sex but feeling they are the opposite sex, and that feeling is generally not 'fluid' in the same way that sexual preference is quite permanent.
Lastly, there's only two genders male and female, but there are certainly people who may not have a strong identification with one or the other. It's narrow-minded thinking to assume that gender is black-and-white. Just the same way as there are many strongly gay or straight people but also many bisexual people. It's a spectrum. I don't agree with there being 30 pronouns though, it should be either you're a man, a woman, or you're not sure.
@@kevinklassen4328 Taken from a biological standpoint, gender is, in fact, black-and-white but that has nothing to do with how people feel and how they develop ways in which to deal with that.
Part of the problem is that both concepts are being mixed together to push an agenda which is neither real nor acceptable because it leads to the notion that indoctrination is permissible, which it is not.
As for the fluidity I mention, this is not the same as being uncertain from one day to the next, feeling anxious about how one feels and going through the whole spectrum of self-loathing, denial and arriving at a point where a path has to be taken.
I cannot, and will not, prescribe to the silly notion that someone identifies as non-binary or gender-fluid, especially as the rest of society are expected to understand something which is incomprehensible. If some is 'non binary' then what are they, can they tell us or is it simply a way of getting attention?
If an individual can arbitrarily 'identify' as something they clearly are not (such as an adult male who identifies as a 6-year-old girl but still drives a tractor) then the whole notion becomes idiotic and actually undermines the genuine situations where someone is struggling with an identify crises and all it entails.
We are creating a society which abhors facts and seeks to cater to whim and fancy under penalty of some form of backlash. Such nonsense is actually undoing much of the hard work and achievements of the LGBT community (now apparently LGBTQ+) members of which have suffered appalling discrimination over the years to reach the point of public acceptance only to find the agenda now hijacked for something which has an agenda which appears to me to be other than acceptance.
Can it really be that there is such a global epidemic of people claiming gender confusion - all at one and the same time? Or is it more likely that something else is behind the wave of nonsense?
Many in the LGBT community are experiencing anxiety and stepping back into the shadows because the ground gained in simply being accepted by society has been overtaken by this epidemic, they are reliving the old fears because of the backlash caused by this situation.
Alongside this, we have imported a very dangerous ideology into our society which believes that homosexuality should be illegal and, in the country of origin, men and women who are found to be gay are being thrown from the top of buildings to their death.
The reality for gay men and women in western society is that they are once more living in fear - this cannot be right.
I sympathize for your situation of being lumped in with a crazy far left agenda. However, gender is by no means black-and-white. As someone who studied behavioral neurosciences for 4 years prior to medical school, I will have to tell you that you're dead wrong on that. If you're referring to sex, that is also not completely black and white.
The actual development of gender identity is strongly biological and for 99% of people it aligns quite strongly with their external development (and chromosomal sex). Not everyone is as lucky, and for about 0.5 to 1% of the population there are various issues in fetal development that cause this to go haywire. That usually means identifying as the opposite gender, though to be honest when it comes to people who are gender confused, I haven't studied that in a lot of detail to know its validity, but certainly it has biologic plausibility that some people may end up not strongly identifying as either male or female. It's certainly biologically similar to bisexual people who have attraction to both sexes instead of ending up strongly heterosexual or homosexual.
As to the more recent movements in the past 5-10 years, I do have concerns that a lot of people are getting falsely identified as transgendered or gender fluid etc. who are not, but there's no question that a lot of people are legitimately and biologically have brains that align with the opposite sex. If you're interested in learning more I can refer you to the scientific research on the topic.
@@kevinklassen4328 I can only bow to your superior knowledge having not studies the intricacies as you have. Perhaps then it is a matter of labels and of interpretation of those labels.
When a fetus develops into one of two 'genders' what would be the most appropriate term for the result? I have been saying gender because that is what I have become used to saying - hence the binary male and female 'labels' - one has external and the other external genitalia; what would be the most appropriate label for this?
We have the word, sex, which can refer to the act of intercourse or the gender of any creature. In all aspects, these terms do refer to a binary result in which specific chromosome pairs are in use. Again, what do you feel would the most appropriate term?
It would be helpful if everyone agreed on such terminology and I think there is a clear delineation required between the physical and the psychological states because this is where the trouble begins. I wholeheartedly agree that there is often a difference between how an individual presents physically and mentally and a differential is the cause of the identity crisis we know exist.
Personally, I believe there is a world of difference between someone who experiences this differential from birth and they certainly fit into the category of misalignment you mention and the middle-aged father of three who suddenly identifies as a six-year-old girl because he finds the pressures of life to great to handle.
As part of the local over 50 LGBT support group, I regularly meet and offer support to gay men and women and this includes transgender individuals and what I can say with certainty is that such individuals are a far cry from those men we see on social media who wear age inappropriate clothing, makeup over a five-o-clock shadow and slingbacks who, when called 'sir' rather than 'madam' proceed to smash up a shop premises because they were 'misgendered'. This applies equally to the arrogant students who claim non-binary status while protesting but upon arrest for violent behaviour present themselves as their true self in order to gain leniency from the court for being a 'female'.
As I already mentioned, I will happily call anyone by any name they chose, but I will not bend to the will of an agenda which seeks to persecute those who get the pronoun wrong. This does nothing whatsoever to further the cause for acceptance and tolerance by those in the transgender community who are genuinely battling with identity crisis.
While I'm sure the research is fascinating, I am more than content to be having this dialogue with someone who is as willing to engage in an exchange of ideas, or indeed to reach agreement and, in my case, to absorb the result of metered study.
If everyone could agree on specific and acceptable terminology to use, perhaps the entire debate could be more convivial and productive, while ultimately leading to greater acceptance and less intolerance of those with genuine identity issues and put to rest, once and for all, the hysterical hijacking that is taking place.
If he ran for president I would vote for him
I can never get enough of Ben Shapiro! he is what the world needs in my view! total fan!
I think ive heard the grandfather explanation about 100 times now and it still never gets old LOL
And his wife is doctor. Who knew?
Very sharp young man with good conservative values the Western world needs young men like these to inspire this lost generation of our time.
Imagine Ben on presidential debate.
I feel like we need leaders rather than politicians leading the nation.
Thank you UBC. THANK YOU BEN FOR COMING TO CANADA PLEASE STAY.
M RG we need him on the front lines in the Great War taking place in America
nope he's ours
Sorry, you can’t have him!
Darn
He has to run for president in 2020, so he has to come back to get ready.
As an ex BC’er and friend of UBC, I congratulate UBC for allowing Ben Shapiro to speak freely. The students of the Left Coast showed amazing backbone. Your actions change minds!
I have to say, I never thought I'd watch a whole speech and Q+A from Ben Shapiro. He's actually quite bright and does seem to have quite a lot of good ideas. He does seem to keep the religion out of the politics which I think is very important, and does seem to focus on what is actually going on.
