Notice I said for now. There are international issues that I will write about soon that will threaten the Constitution if we continue to go down this road of getting our feelings hurt for no good reason. Be very careful when you say something is hate speech, because you might be labeled a hater next. I am also going to write on how to keep from getting offended by discriminatory stereotypes and racial slurs. It seems like OCA and a few other people could use the advice.

The idea of free speech does not give one a ticket to say everything and anything in his mind. You can't stand in a crowded movie theatre and scream "FIRE!" without getting in trouble. The same goes for supposed ethnic humor...you can do it if you want, but you are going to have to face the consequences. If you allow people to spew their discriminatory stereotypes with out consequences, the younger generation will learn that it will be okay to do such things. When do we stop? When do we start taking responsiblity for our actions? I get called a chink by 7 year olds, I have supposed adults in their middle age going "ching chong ching chong" and "Go back to China!" (When I'm a born American). It's not about denying people their rights, it's about changing the future so my kid doesn't have to go through this, so my mom and dad (who speak perfect English) will no longer be ridiculed, it's for my Grandmother and Grandfather...It's for a better future, so that maybe one day we can end hate, hate against Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latinos, Martians...But I must say, your debate against Albert was great. Have a good one. What the special interest groups are fighting for does not destroy the Constitution. The idea of free speech does not give one a ticket to say everything and anything in his mind.
