I am pleased that the liberal political correctness crap did not prevail. It's the epitome of hypocrisy. Fuck that. Enough with the pathetic cry babies. I'm not responsible for your sensibilities. But most of all, I'm glad that your ex president, the pathetic weasel from Kenya will finally be gone. I hope he goes back to his country where he belongs Side: Yes you have this right

Listening to Dimwits, Yes.....but its not every right you have to exercise.........Or it will go against you.... I think weak minded people easily get offended. Getting offended in the head breaks you down.... And in the heart if you should react(always) will give you some critical heart problems in the future....you might probably die from a heart attack oneday from one slight silly anger.. Words i see on this debate are just symbols that i give understanding to...and i choose to relate it to myself or not. Cos i have a dictionary for myself.....myself definition..... So someone's definition is just his definition.....different dictionaries.....i can't use two.... So i choose to be offended..... Rights are priviledges.....getting offended is not a priviledge Side: Yes you have this right

It seems more and more today, people believe that those whose opinion they do not agree with want to limit what they say and insist they shouldnt be llowed to express it. We see this in the creation of "safe spaces" which are public areas that limit what others can say because some particular members will be offended. This is creating a culture/belief that people shouldnt be allowed to express opinions no matter how offensive they are while in public. This stifling is leading to heard mentality where people follow blindly others without critically thinking about the issue. Take for instance climate change. While I personally believe the climate is changing and that humans have contributed to the change, I dont feel the scientific community has been free to debate the issue and properly challenge the accepted hypothesis. This leads to decisions that are not well thought out. Side: No, you dont have this right

In today's world, quite literally anything you can say could be construed as "offensive". If a law was passed stating that you can't offend someone, saying anything at all would be a risk, much less expressing an opinion. Further, what if someone's offense at your words offends you? Then who's charged with "hate speech"? Side: No, you dont have this right
