I was wondering where in our constitution does it say we have a right to not be offended ?

Question

why is there so much political correctness ...has The U.S. become a nation of weenies wusses and pansies...this nation was founded on blood ,sweat , raw guts and ingenuity... did we use it all up?

Answer 1

People nowdays feel it is their God given right to always feel good and be happy, and everyone must make sure to accommodate them. They think this "pursuit of happiness" thing means they are guaranteed happiness. Incorrect. Instead, they are guaranteed to not be hindered in their pursuit. So yes, you are correct, PC culture is destroying our nation and making it weaker

Answer 2

It doesn't say it anywhere in the Constitution. And, frankly, it's not really the courts who are driving political correctness. It's the media. Actually, you can't be sued for calling someone a name, even a racially motivated one (unless you employ that person). But people won't like you too much if you call someone a name, so people are scared to do it. Moreover, employers and landlords are so scared that the person, either an employee or a tenant, will sue and then lie about what the employer or landlord did, that employers and landlords will go overboard to avoid a suit, which causes folks to be even more politically correct. And even if the employer or landlord or other person wins the suit, it costs so much in legal fees that a win isn't worth it, so most of them settle. Moreover, suits have an emotional toll that people don't want to be involved in. In my opinion, political correctness is based on a desire for power by the formerly powerless and based on the lies of the formerly powerless.

But no matter how much raw guts you have, lawsuits are scary and cost a lot.

Answer 3

Obviously that does not appear in the Constitution, for good reason. I agree about political correctness has gone too far, and I believe most of the country feels the same way. The pendulum will swing back sooner or later.

Answer 4

This is a kind of mindless rant. I can't even tell what you're complaining about, except "political correctness." So, ....... you want to offend other people? Calling the majority of Americans "weenies, wusses, and pansies," is a good way to offend people.

Congratulations, you do have the right to offend people. You've done so right here.

But in the meantime, I wish I knew what's upsetting you.

Answer 5

People are too easily bored and need something to complain about. If it sounds mildly offensive you better believe that someone would be more than happy to point it out... We have lost our balls and now we have to pussyfoot around all the issues because some people cant deal with it because they are weak and even though it may not offend them, they will pretend because it could get them retributions. Like sueing a school because they teach evolution or sueing the state because the state flag has "God" in it. Please people. Get over it, no one cares.

and yeah I said pussyfoot, you wanna get offended?

Answer 6

I've read the Constitution very carefully. I haven't found such a clause. I'm faitly sure that there is no such clause in the Constitution of the USA. Maybe it's in some state constitutions.

Answer 7

That is where the constitution went No Due process Law ?
Unless you can afford it in a secret War ?

Answer 8

I agree... but there aren't any PC laws last time I checked... so no one has to be PC

where does it say in the Constitution that someone can't be PC if they want to be?

sorry if it "offends" you that they are PC...
