I NEVER said we should abridge freedom of speech. I'm a JOURNALISM MAJOR for god's sake!
And, don't accuse me of being PC. I'm talking about being respectful. Read any political science book EVER that discusses tactics, and it'll talk about creating a respectful dialouge, that's different from "political correctness". In a respectful dialouge you can talk about race, religion, anything without offending anyone.
I've cracked racial jokes to people of those races, made fun of people's religions to their faces, and they've laughed because they knew I was joking, I had proven already that I respected them, made jokes about myself as well, and I knew where to draw the line. And, that's how it should be. I'm not PC, I'm Gen Y, and my generation doesn't need to be PC because we're actually tolerant.
We can say whatever we feel? Really? Even the truth? This from a man who thinks he can speak on behalf of a woman's uterus.
Sorry, but your generation is just the next in line to claim something that was already being done before you were born.
I'd also be willing to be that if you said some of the things you say to your frineds to people who don't know you, you would quickly come under at least verbal assault. That's how it's been in my experience.
I'd also consider how wide a brush you paint your generation with. Your generation has produced some of the most politically intolerant people since the days leading up to the US Civl War.
