Are our freedoms being taken away by being "pc"? or health issues like smoking in public?

Question

little by little ,ordinary things are becoming taboo? is it an effort by religious or political zealots to change America?

Answer 1

It's an effort by liberals to make everyone "tolerant" or "sensitive" to people who are.....different.
It's ridiculous and it is taking away our freedoms. Freedom of Speech is a big one.......Just look at Yahoo Answers. I can't count how many people report me for "offending" them or the thinking that I may offend someone else. It's complete BS.
Now we can't even say Christ or have the 10 commandments in courthouses and what not. It's crap.

Answer 2

i imagine that the reason that human beings "unmarried out those who smoke" is because smoking is undesirable for you. Smoking can kill you. i'm particularly confident at the same time as think about a vehicle, or vacation a bus, or have used a vehicle to get from aspect A to B, so isn't that slightly severe? Thats why your vehicle has to bypass an emmissions try each and every 12 months... foodstuff is better for you no longer dangerous... a loud baby isn't putting your wellbeing in risk, and neither is a lady with to a lot purfume. You used a computing device to put up this question, and it provides off extra radiation than a cell telephone or an ipod (it really is hardley any)... so hell, why dont we only ban technologies all at the same time? So at the same time as all of it comes right down to it you may risk your own life, by taking in all those volatile chemical substances, and filling your lungs chalk finished of tar... thats all as a lot as you. We shouldn't might want to.

Answer 3

It's the libs, socialists and other touchy-feely types who think there is only one way of doing something and it's their way or no way.
It's the thought police and the speech police. We're all supposed to behave in a certain way and not do certain things or say certain words because we might offend someone or hurt their feelings.
We can't have a Christmas display because an atheist might walk by and have a heart attack.
We can't be patriotic & wave the flag because it might offend someone from Zambolia or Zuckland.
We can't call someone a name because somebody's ancestor was called that 500 years ago.
Political Correctness begat Zero Tolerance which means you can't bring aspirin to school or you might get thrown in jail.
It's a nutty world.

Answer 4

yes, we are becoming droids with no personality, no happiness, no anger, no sadness, no nothing. human nature is being slowly drained into just an oozing pile of goo. it is unnatural to believe that a creature can have its instincts trained out of it. we love, we hate, we are kind, we are cruel, we are smart, we are stupid, we can learn, we cannot learn...we were all created with the ability to grow, we were not all created equal..we have different colors, abilities, sensibilities, accents, voices, we are each unique. we can not have our cake and eat it too. we can not be unique and special and all equal (the same). that is a conundrum. we need to get a grip and regain our sense of humor and reality. we are all prejudice concerning some things. and we need to except that and attempt to be as controlled and kind about as often as possible but it can't be mandated. we are becoming a society of Borg...i hope that resistance is not futile.
