PC Speech Is Against The First Amendment

[Jack4jill]

How is 'PC speech' against the first amendment?

Enforcing or demanding even mandating PC speech takes away right of the person to speak freely.

When the government says you can't say the N word, you let us all know, okay?

Until then, just STFU already.

The FCC is government and they fine you if you use it on TV.

The **** they do.

Maybe in prime-time and I doubt that. And what you can say on TV isn't what you can say on the street corner, *****.

The "N" Word on TV / history of the N word in the media

Find the "C" word? How about the "F" word?

Why should I, you've already been proven wrong. You find them, ****.

I see. You know it's not illegal to say the word illegal, correct? It's not even illegal to say ******.

Though you may get pissed if you feel this forum is taking away your right to say it by automatically censoring you.

When you join the forum you agree to their terms. But government is NOT a controlled forum nor should it be.

You agreed to be PC, great, now prove your point.

Okay, a man cannot call a woman a "C" word on this forum.
But a woman can call a man a c#cksucker.
Is that NOT sexist.

A member cannot call another member a "N" word.
But a Negro can call you a Cracker/Honky/Cave Monkey.
Is that not racist?

See the rule is not equal nor could ever be. People simply invent new words. So what is the purpose? To stifle honest and yes sometimes harsh speech.

I totally understand about bandwidth BUT with over 500 channels you call that limited?

I'm sure there are more than 500 people who'd like to broadcast what they want.

Especially when you consider those 500 channels are owned by a handful of companies.

I guess you can cuss on tv now.

Shit yeah! FCC can’t fine TV networks for cursing & nudity anymore


The major broadcast networks won a bit more freedom today, thanks to a Supreme Court decision involving the Federal Communications Commission’s rules for keeping swear words and naked people off live broadcast television.

The high court ruled (PDF) that the FCC is now prohibited from imposing fines and sanctions of any sort for verbal obscenities and indecency. TV stations are slowly gaining the same types of freedoms currently enjoyed by Internet publications, which aren’t limited by what they can communicate.

Previously, any TV network that was broadcast over the public airwaves (free public television via an antenna) was required to adhere to a set of policies. Basically, broadcast stations — like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, and others — had to censor certain curse words within programming as well as any nudity. If any of these broadcast stations violated these policies, they got slapped with a huge fine from the FCC and subject to other setbacks.

Do you really think cracker and the n word are on the same level? Cracker is about as insulting as calling me white.

**********, really? You're offended by that, **********? However, like you already said, you agreed to it on this forum.

 

[Pogo]

"hate word" Oh for God's sake.

Utter bullshit. They are illegal because they entered the US illegally. Of course to the "2+2=5" leftist, it just can't be!

---- and there he is ...... the poster who, until recently said the "N word".....

The question is, is Cracker as offensive as the N-word, and of course, it isn't. Because it doesn't have 400 years of human rights violations behind it.

Yet none of that has anything to do with denying our lawful right to freedom of speech.

And demanding people not speak that way is romance?

That's racist. Who are you to judge how offended someone else is?

 

[MarathonMike]

But what if you say the "good" N word you know the one that ends with 'a''? Liberals may have to hold a PC summit meeting on that one.

Bullshit.
It doesn't work that way -- never did. What FCC does is respond to public complaints. If a tree falls on a lumberjack's foot on TV and he goes "fuuuuck" and no one complains --- as far as FCC is concerned it never happened. If someone does complain then they look at whether it was handled responsibly. That's how it's always worked.

There is no such requirement to censor anything per se. There's only a guideline to keep reasonable public standards, as judged by the public.

And that's part of the problem. There's no hard and fast rules, it's largely discretionary.

For instance, WE pixalates or censors things that were broadcast on "Free" TV. While some words that can't be said on broadcast TV are said on basic cable all the time.

Let's not forget, 50 years ago, broadcast TV wouldnt' show married couples sharing the same bed while fully clothed, or women's belly buttons.

I believe you can say whatever you want in government, Pinkie.

Just ask The Dick Cheney and Pat Leahy.

Who holds the purse strings to the FCC?

That's not an issue. The FCC has held that the public airwaves can be regulated because they are a limited resource. You can only broadcast on a certain channel, therefore your content is subject to regulation.

I totally understand about bandwidth BUT with over 500 channels you call that limited?

There has never been anywhere near 500 broadcast channels on the air, Pinkbreath. You do understand the difference between "on the air" -- which is finite -- and via cable, which is not?

I mean, you having an IQ of 214 and all...

How about the woman in the OP wanting to BAN the word ILLEGAL.
That word is not racist nor sexist. But PC demands we don't use it. Already a number of news outlets use the PC "undocumented immigrants".And that IS the loss of free speech. Because being undocumented IS ILLEGAL.

So is going over the speed limit, but you don't hear anyone talking about "illegal drivers".
