You don't have to be omniscient to know that certain kinds of word choices are inflammatory, inappropriate, tasteless, offensive and, in some cases, dangerous.

If you want to learn this lesson the hard way, as it appears may be the case, by all means go to the south Bronx, the southside of Chicago, south central Los Angeles or many other areas in the United States and start throwing around the word "nigger" as you did here yesterday and report back to us on how the free speech argument has fared.

Quality post, Chris. Real high quality.

rather it is politically correct or not. This due to it hurting some of the nice
people of that race. However I dislike the politically correct liberal left
“inn crowd” of this country. If someone respects me and my views I will
respect them. We don’t have to agree just allow one another to have a
different view. There are political and religious philosophies that humanity
could do without. I don’t believe in the right or left, I think the logical
path is better.

And you have a way of judging this? Interesting that an omniscient being is
among us....
