A lot of the things people label as "politically correct" are actually just plain old CORRECT.

Yep. If people want to hide behind "free speech" so they can let whatever racist/sexist/bigoted verbal vomit drip from their mouths, other people also have the right of free speech to put them in their place.
No violence to protest anothers free speech is always wrong.
So i should allow a person to just say anything to me without any consequences, and just let it ride?
Pfffft....yea, ok. I can deal with a certain amount of political incorrect free speech, but i'll be damned if you're going to just say ANYTHING and i just ignore it. Oh hell no...that aint happening.
So like, if someone calls me the N-word in a pejorative manner, i shouldn't be trying to completely tear his/her head off?

That's exactly right. There is no harm that a person can do to you by speaking to you that justifies whatever harm you would do to him by physically assaulting him.

LOL...c'mon..get real.
Wow, a violent reaction to a person exercising their rights. If you don't like what someone calls you there isn't anything you can do about it so deal with it. It's gonna happen, you can't stop it.

Physically assaulting them also gives them full reign to eliminate you from the gene pool. Some people just need thicker skin.

Yea...ok. Keep believing that.
I don't plan on stopping it. I WANT you to say it.
But don't pretend like folks don't know who they can and who they can't say certain things to. You're not going to call me a racial epithet, i know that much. You CAN...technically. But you won't. And if you do, i'm not going to be the bigger man....and you can put your paycheck on that.

Sorry, but I have to disagree...physical violence is not the answer to other people's verbal bullsh*t. If someone called me the N-word, I wouldn't give them the pleasure of feeling as if they had some power over me. Besides, why would you want to prove a racist right by behaving exactly the way he/she expects you to?

Elimination can work both ways....don't forget that.
