What is it that you wanted to say that made someone so angry? Nothing wrong with speaking your mind, but there are some things that you just dont' say. Perhaps you crossed that line.

That said, yea, there's too much sensitivity. But so what?

I posted that one specifically for you since your posts have your personal experiences in them as examples.

I think the PCness has gotten out of hand. You have lawsuits now regarding what someone said about someone else.

As long as you can make fun of hayseeds, homophobes. fundamentalist Christains, southerners, rednecks, meatheads, cavemen, and other species of Republican, I have no complaints. I love bashing these cretins. I hope they don't get all pansy on me and cry to mamma that it's no fair. Ha ha ha! They need to put their big girl panties on and quit being such wimps.

As a Republican I can tell you that, considering the source of these jibes and adolescent insults, we pay it little attention. Simple minds crave simple entertainment.

Anything but your opinion.
If this is true, show some studies.

And I boggle that you think violence is the answer to anything.
That is shameful.

Again, you do nothing but promote violence.
I don't want to live in your violent world, and I choose not to.
Good thing cooler heads prevail.
Violence is violence.

Defending yourself against bullying and harrasment is not "promoting violence".

That's easy: Liberalism. There is no other answer.
