Do you think people have taken political correctness too far?

Yeah, I do. But I also think some people are intentionally offensive. There should be a middle ground.

Then you should just stay away from offensive people.

@SteelHands yeah, but everyone is offended by something, no matter who.

@basilfawlty89 Sane people aren't supposed to thrung themselves on the floor and have temper tantrums or excuse violent physical abuse, call them vile names, demand their silence or shouting over them when it's their turn to speak.

When you demand others silence, you will be silenced eventually. When you don't listen to others, others won't listen to you. When you scream at someone they will return likewise.

Thus it is true that youth rises in ignorance do become the aged that fall in folly.


Mark my words well. So it is wrote. So it had always been done.

@SteelHands tldr. Don't whine about being insulted when you were the one starting the insults. That makes you look like a bleeding hypocrite.

@basilfawlty89 You can read. Not well.

Go back and try again.

@SteelHands go read your other post. And I love how right wingers say this shit, but if you say anything against Jeebus evangelicals shit themselves in a hundred places. Face it, you lot get offended too.

@basilfawlty89 I'm not in the slightest.

You stuck your bone head in because you actually think the government should stand on your tongue.

You sir, are what the Royals refer to as a twit.

You can't talk so you never hear. You never hearing anything but approved speech is why you never learn. You never learning is why you think I think like you. You thinking that I think like you is why you think I'm offended.

I'm not offended. Because I'm not amid the silenced. I'm mildly amused, a little sympathetic but I can't help you pal.

Your own head is your prison. I can't set you free of the only reality you've ever known.

@SteelHands Damn, you guys got into a real argument on my comment 😥 I should rephrase what I wrote... I think some people go out of their way to offend people. I mean, they're not just blunt or telling it like it is; they're so engaged in politics and so passionate about defending their side that they'll degrade their opponents whenever they can. They're too reactionary to the political correctness people. We need some middle ground.
