The United States is rotting from the inside from political correctiveness and the ability of people getting rich from someone "offending" them. We CANNOT offend anyone without getting sued, fined or punished. We cannot call someone stupid, because they can claim mental retardation. We cannot call someone a fag or queer because it might hurt someones feelings. We are the nation of FREE SPEECH! yet we cannot speak freely. i just want to hear some of your thoughts.

Yeah, I hate political correctness as well

Not true, if you are of the minority you can say as much shit as you want.

Well it's also a matter of common sense.

Calling someone a fag on the street is just stupid. You would deserve to be slapped with a fine.

Now, people crying over the release of GTA:SA because it's so violent and explicit is equally stupid.

It would be more correct to say "if you are of a recognized minority...." We left-handed people don't get any special benefits.

You can get away with saying a lot if you arent a public figure.

This is true, even though the majority of geniuses in most fields are lefties.

well...atheist-bashing is still not very punished..then again, neither is insulting christians

...the majority of geniuses [sic] in most fields are lefties.

I'm going to quote you on that. :D

Right.

the fact that minorities can say shit and majorities can't w/out being crucified is a load of crap. soon, whites (leading majority) will be the minority, but we still won't be able to say anything

As I said before, you have to be a recognized minority.

We know, dude. We know. Stop reminding us.

Can one be a personal minority? Be minority by myself alone? So I get priviledges just because I'm me?

finally, the cause I have been fighting for!! LOl, jk.
while it is tru that minorities can get get away with saying anything, this is different for diffrent minorities. as lon as they dont bash each other, Jews and Blacks have a carte Blanche, homosexuals come next in the list

In New Zealand, the minority of the population can get what they want, do what they please and even get compensated for being in the horror of prison. These are murderers and rapists and our Prime Minister gives them money, then sets them free. Think of South Africa, with all of the whites getting out, and it is a carbon copy of New Zealand; tens of thousands of whites are leaving, moving over to Australia. Believe me, you guys in the united states have very little to worry about.

OF COURSE the United States is messed up. Look at who our president is! THAT ALONE should explain it!

We know, dude. We know. Stop reminding us.

ha... never expected this many people expressing their ideas so thanks guys/girls. back to the post, i have never understood why blacks can toss racial slurs at each other but if a normal white guy(normal being a non-wigger) goes in the middle of detroit and just yells out the N-word (see, i can't say it cuz it would be offensive) he would get his ass shot back to the stone age.

Bull, your allowed to say whatever you want. You just simply don't use the power enough. Quit blaming us and get to fixing the problem, mmkay?

And you've still got a long way to go before becoming a minority. Might wanna teach your children the benefits of being open-minded.

northern, shut up, we don't care if you are being ignored

I agree on this. I'm sick of hearing the word thrown around, period. I don't care if a white says it, a black, or a Mexican. It sounds the same to me. And I don't like the sound.

I am extremely open minded,im just speaking with sensible people about a problem with america. america is being swamped with A)illegal immigrants from our neighbors to the south B)true americans having to bend over backwards for them

Yeah, it's not fair for immigrants to do stupid things here for us to pay for. But no reason to whine to the ones that are legal and are actual born citizens now is there?

And I try to speak to everybody, not just an individual.

Bush's fault, all I gotta say

This is true, even though the majority of geniuses in most fields are lefties.

Wow, I'm actually in a minority group, as a right-handed (actually, nearly ambidextrous) genius?

i wouldnt say america is rotting, but this is definately a problem. Our judges and juries, for the most part, are way too sympathetic. We need to stick to the law, and now our feelings. Just because some kid got fat from eating McD's, doesnt give his parents the right to sue.

i have absolutely no problems with people that come here legally. however we should not have to print things twice, once in english and once in spanish. almost all of our families came from foreign countries. when they got here they had to learn ENGLISH to survive, and had to adopt SOME of the american way but they still retained some of their culture as well. this is NOT THE CASE TODAY we (americans) are being forced to become bi-lingual and to bend over backwards for illegals, and our tax-money is being used to pay for social security and welfare for the before mentioned illegals

OF COURSE the United States is messed up. Look at who our president is! THAT ALONE should explain it!
how is the us messed up, aside from you living in it?

Does not exist. Simply left-handed envy. Keep practicing though.

Yeah, that has to be it!

If you want to find someone that screw up the country, look at Clinton. And now he's telling the Democrats that they have to focus on moral issues! It makes me sick!

Come now, do you think it's impossible for both Bush and Clinton to have screwed up the country? Those two embody quite well the problem with America. On the right, there are fascists and theocrats (Lawful Evil). On the left, there are hedonists and commies (Chaotic Evil). Their combined influences are what is ruining our country.

Are you under the conception that the US alone has this issue?

In the UK we have % more illegal immigrants than you guys. When "We the public" complain the government tells us to embrace diversity.

About 10 years ago I had an argument with a woman of east asian extraction who was complaining that the indigious population had not provided a community centre for her ethnic group and that not all forms and signs were in her native language. She came from China! they have so many dialects even ther Chinese government doesnt cater for them all.

As other have said, I don't have issue with helping those who arrive from bad situations, but that doesn't mean I want to roll over and play dead.

Diversity is fun, but please follow the rules when comming to my country with the intention to stay:
1) speak my language
2) respect my flag
3) Support the national. including sporting teams, not your old country's team
4) don't expect me to change to make life better for you, you chose me remember that.

Biggest one Get the chip of your shoulder, You all know what I mean.

1) My mum can't understand Glasweigan or Belfast accents - do they have to leave?
2) I personally don't as its a piece of cloth, do I have to leave?
3) Do you mean England, Scotland or Wales cos I can't find a British football team.
4) How about we all change to make life better for everyone?

1) that is thier local accent therefore, No they don't need to go anywhere
2) by flag, I refer to all terratories that are included in this country
3) Whichever country you are in, scotland, wales, northern ireland, greece...
4) The point I was making is that if you are attracted to go to a country dont lose sight of that. If you start changing things to suit you you may end up with the same situation you left. Like a marrage, don't marry someone to change them, they won't end up the way you want. So dont change the country as you it may end up worse than you thought possible. I could go on but your smart and get the idea.

While I agree with what you say - I am heartily fed up with politically correctness - to be fair, it's not just applicable in America. Here in the UK and Ireland it's reached ludicrous levels as well.

(PS - Sorry if someone already pointed this out)

Yes, we here in America are merely at Warp speed (which makes us warped), but in most of Europe, they are definitely at Ludicrous speed (which makes them ludicrous). :p

I'm just curious? You are objecting that people take issue with the use of bigotted comments? That this relates to the decline of America?


Are you suggesting that things were better when every white guy could call a black man "******" as they walked past you to the back seat on the bus?


There are many reasons why I might agree that America is in decline, however limiting the social acceptance of intolerance is certainly not one of them.


Oh, and for the record: you can call anyone "fag" or "queer" that you like. Just bear in mind that actions have consequences, and in those cases I usually enjoy watching the consequences play themselves out.

Are you guys serious?

We have one congressman who claimed unwed pregnant mothers aren't fit to teach children.

An admitted white supremist who supported eugenics against minorities to eliminate the "poverty gene" got the Republican nomination for a House seat from Tennessee.

Cleveland, Ohio kept the peace for a Klan rally on August 21, 1999, at a cost of $537,000.
