In the land of alleged free speech, it seems more and more like it isn't.
Let's see...you can't call people retarded, you can't laugh at people with Tourette's, you can't tell the truth about various ethnic groups, you can't joke around about certain stuff, even say the words because it's against the law, celebrities and politicians get into trouble for making a statement and it becomes a national outrage, especially that one on the Colbert show who joked about cocaine and hookers...even though it was petty, you can't say anything about disabled people...
It's insane, North Korea must envy our unofficial totalitarian approach to speech...stop taking everything seriously!
I wonder how many Americans would willingly eliminate the 1st amendment, our right to free speech?
This country is guilty of false advertisement. People overseas, especially in Australia, seem to exercise and appreciate their right to free speech better than Americans...
It's disappointing.
