Banning the use of fighting words on the internet or media

[Questioner]

Technically, the Constitution, as per originalism, doesn't give one a right to use fighting words on the internet, much as it doesn't give one the right to yell "fire" in a movie theater.

If we just started enforcing this, it would be a nice caveat which would allow us to shut down 90% of the left-wing media and social media, given that arousing the feral sentiments of the underclass is what most of it is predicated on to begin with.

You have every right to yell FIRE in a movie theater, but you will be held liable for any damage or injuries resulting from your doing so.

You will be punished for the effect, not the word itself. If people in the theater laugh and go back to eating their popcorn, no harm no foul.

Boxing?
Wrestling?
Karate?

How about instead of banning "fighting words", we each take responsibility for our own actions?

I have been online and using forums since the AOL days of dialup. I have been called all sorts of names and even threatened. But since it is online, it has no real effect on me.

I would be curious to see a list of "fighting words".

And you do know that pretty much any word ban can be circumvented, right?

 

[MindWars]

They arent banning just the words YOU WILL NOT be able to " DO ANY OF THESE " sports boxing, kick boxing etc..

And because one person will not look at words the same way compared to another word, who has the finally say on what is bad and what is good?

God bless you always!!!

We have Hollywood celebrities threatening the President of the United States with everything from assault to mayhem almost on a daily basis and you want to ban so-called "fighting words" for the rest of us"?

Not really actually. My message was supposed to look like this:

Sorry about that. My temperature is currently like the gas prices, up and down.

God bless you always!!!
