As an American, I reserve the right to use any word I please in any context I please at any time I please. I will not be censored! I will very happilly shoot the dumb f*ck who presumes to tell me what and what I can not say. Other than shouting fire in a public space the constitution allows me to say anything I damn well feel like saying. How do y'all feel about that?

Hey Bubba, it's no skin off my nose. I'm an old fart with a thick skin and you ain't gonna hurt me with words. I personally believe that Lenny Bruce was right and that citizen of this country should stop taking words so personally.
Offense is in the mind of the offended.
Just be aware that as long as you keep in some backwoods hole in the ground, you are not likely to run into trouble with your attitude. It is far easier for you to post what you will or will not do as an anonymous user than it would be for you to stand outside a militaristic feminist movement meeting and shout sexually bigoted remarks.
Political Correctness may have gone too far for everyone except the most rationally challenged. Use whatever words you wish, even those which carry the maximum emotional baggage. Just be aware that if you do so without manners or the common sense that God gave a toad, then you will be socially judged as an insensitive, small minded, uneducated explicative deleted person that you may not be.

You can say whatever you want anywhere in the world you want, everyone has that freedom. Individual freedom anyway. Granite in a lot of countries they will beat you or shoot you, but you still are a free willing human with all the individual freedom to do as you please, you just have to often times suffer the consequences of your oppressors. So, respectfully we should all be bound by an etiquette that is tasteful and respectful of others. Otherwise, the same crap that pours out of your mouth, will pour out of everyone else around you, creating hostility and friction, thus causing chaos and lawlessness. We have to make provisions in what we say and do to protect those that cannot protect themselves....children.

Yes, if you understand the right to other to use any word they pleased, including to “to put up with it”. The constitution allows to all to say anything they damn well feel like saying (including, if someone feel, to tell you what and what you can not say). How do you feel about that?

It is ridiculous to call fat people “gravitationally challenged” -- a self-righteous fetish of language which is nothing less than censorship of free speech.
If, in this example, the object of the noun word “fat” takes exception to the word, it is his constitutional right to pursue legal council if he so desires.
On the other hand, free speech is also a constitutional right and any attempts to limit, curtail or marginalize this right should be swiftly and forcefully eliminated.

via fact if we create quite some technology and math pupils, then they are going to pass to college and get tiers in technology and math correct fields. Then we will have a bunch of people waiting for jobs in those fields, and that they would be extremely dissatisfied approximately all the american companies that are outsourcing those jobs to people in China, S. Korea, Japan, India, and Iran.

As an American, I reserve the right to tell you that you are boring and have nothing to say. But it's fine for you to rant about how you COULD say anything. It would be much more entertaining though if you actually had a mind.

Oops! Turns out that I'm not American. So it seems I have no right to pass judgement on you.

I don't know what the deal with political correctness is--- I sure as hell don't make it a point in my life. In my experience, it's just another fad, like the infamous mullet... ugh.

Yes! We ought to be able to say any offensive thing that crosses our tiny little minds. And if society condemns us for being offensive, they are UNAMERICAN!.
