My point was, there's no such thing as "you can't say"...

But last I checked, the Constitution didn't cover candy asses.

Far as I know, even candy asses are protected...as annoying as that may be at times.

There should be consequences, be it losing business, or just a sock in the jaw...or worse, I suppose. Depending upon, of course, what is said.

When did, and I mean this as just a general question, being polite become "politically correct", and a bad thing?

To be blunt, it became bad when people decided to reject stereotyping and the notion of a superior type of person.

Most people have, historically, called this... college.

It is a bit hard to deny when bodies start piling up from people who are whistle blowers or otherwise all near and around the same 2 people. Where there is smoke there is fire, in this case where there is a trail of bodies there is murder.

That made absolutely no sense whatsoever. But you get 10 privilege points for trying so hard.

I'm not sure I understand.

Maybe it's my cold/flu medicine, but I'm having a real issue deciphering that. Not saying you're wrong or right...just having trouble figuring out what you're saying.

It became political correctness (which is bad and dangerous for some reason) when manners started including rejecting stereotypes of minorities.

Ah, got it...

Sorry.

We got to this point because of a new brand of extremist "progressives" - now commonly referred to as 'Social Justice Warriors' - started their crusade of irrational and illogical attacks on everyone and anyone who dared speak words that might be deemed offensive. And the push back wouldn't have gone this far if it wasn't for the fact that the mainstream/establishment media tried to force this leftist agenda down our throats, to the point where freedom of speech is not so free as you'd like to think.
