If being offended is a 'great injustice' and you're offended that people get offended....
I just don't know what to type in response to something like that.

As to the Access Hollywood tapes, I'll just quote Eminem on his song 'Heat'...
about the only thing i agree on with Donald is that
Seriously though, people obviously take life way to seriously... but, so what? It just sounds like a them problem to me.
You can either drag yourself down to their level and get yourself all worked up over them being offended about total nonsense... Or you can have a little fun with it.
Just strike first, then ignore the replies... That's my motto.
That’s a fair take. For my part, I see it as an injustice and will fight it tooth and nail.
LOL. Now you're being a SJW like the rest of them.

Another great example of virtue signaling. Good job Les, you're getting very good at this.
You mean like Trump sycophants do?
Or activists like me who criminally damaged Monsanto's crops, got aressted multiple times, got official cautions, then eventually court and a lame fine of 200 quid?

No, I mean activists. You know, the ones who like to take part in camp little marches, with camp little chants, kind of like the Nazis of old?

I've never been censored outside of places like ATS where I have clearly violated the TOS I agreed to.
My thought's have never been policed by anyone.
You haven’t lived. It is likely you have no sense of justice. I haven’t been raped, but that doesn’t mean I am not offended when someone is.
Oh, I haven't lived?
Tell me, which activity should I partake in to experience this censorship? Shall I proceed to post stupid # on the internet with a picture of my face right next to it?
I've never been raped either, nor do I use those that have to further my point....

The government didn't want GM crops and didn't crack down on us as they could have easily.
I may start a thread, sorry for going off topic

Freedom of speech only applies to the government. You are not free from consequences. If you are going to say something that is potentially damaging to the company's image, don't be so shocked when you get fired.

That is fundamentally false. Freedom speech is a principle and a human right. In other words, it applies to human beings. You either believe in it or you don't.

You can start by laying off the straw men. Censorship is the injustice I am speaking of.

You would have to give me examples of people getting fired over comments that have nothing to do with the company or reflecting the company in a negative image on social media.
And twice now you've managed to avoid telling me where I can go or what I can do to experience censorship in the United States.

So you think we can say anything we want in workplace without getting fired?
Only if they worked for me. Most people do not believe in free speech, and will fire their employees for something they said.
