http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/general_lifestyle/august_2017/73_say_freedom_of_speech_worth_dying_for
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that an overwhelming 85% of American Adults think giving people the right to free speech is more important than making sure no one is offended by what others say. Just eight percent (8%) think it’s more important to make sure no one gets offended. Take a fucking hint liberals. Honestly, if the left wasn't so hellbent on political correctness and stopped focusing on what's offensive or not they would probably never lose to modern republicans. --- Oda break tracker 2017- 6 (3) Super Mario Maker Profile: 1237-0000-0073-02FE ...

voldothegr8 posted...if the left wasn't so hellbent on political correctness Don't worry, the pendulum always swings. Right now, Conservatives and Republicans are the counter-culture to the established and dominant Liberals and Democrats but eventually it'll stop being cool to be the former when it takes charge and starts fucking up.

The left is all about identity politics! Now let me get back to my Republican party where we're focused on building the wall, kicking out all the immigrants, and making sure transgenders know they aren't wanted.
The complete lack of self-awareness from conservatives would be surprising if I hadn't been witnessing it for a decade. --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain ... Copied to Clipboard!

IMO it's not really about the first amendment. It's about this culture of self censorship we've created where we're so afraid of offending anybody. --- I don't hate people, people hate me. ...

One thing I don't like is how this culture right now is so used to basically telling people what they should do.
You're making a movie? Oh well, you should have at least one black main character! And he shouldn't be the one who dies! Things like that. It feels like there's an invisible 1000 page code of conduct or something about everything we should do to avoid being offensive. And some people are so concerned like, is "x" offensive and is "y" offensive, maybe we should say "z" instead? I mean what's so fucking bad about something being offensive? It's so hard to get a job these days and the economy is in the gutter and the middle class is about to disappear into poverty and we're worried about offending people???? --- I don't hate people, people hate me. ...
