Sticks and stones may break my bones but word will never hurt me, most everyone in
this room is probably familiar with that saying, and that it mostly holds true unless someone is
directly insulting you consistently then it may get annoying, but in today's world that is no longer
the case, in today's world for some reason words hold the weight of a nuclear bomb, and god
forbid anyone actually speaks their mind unless they are a social justice warrior because nothing
they say is factually inaccurate at all, none of it is ever taken out of context. Think about what
you would do if one day you woke up for you job as a university professor held in high regard in
the biochemistry region of science, then one day at a speech directed towards women scientists,
as a joke to break the ice you say the only problem with girls in the lab is, You fall in love with
them, they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry. Now imagine you said
that in a lighthearted fashion and even had a few laughs out in the crowd, you continue your
speech flawlessly. Then the next day you go to work, and you're fired and kicked out of the
scientific community because your joke offended someone who wasn't even at the speech. This is
what happened to BioChemist and professor Tim Hunt. Now does that seem right? A man who
has held such a prestigious position, someone who enlightens young individuals, a pioneer in
biochemistry, now lost to the world because of the speech police or social justice warriors
This is just one example of someone losing their job due to this group of activists trying
to padlock your mouth shut until they get their way. Not just individuals can be hit by these
extremists, lately Berklee college was almost burned to the ground as a result of these people all
out rioting because a speaker they did not agree with was going to come to the college and speak.
Instead of just not going to the thing they showed up in masks, dressed in black, started attacking
people entering the college to hear the speaker, the collage shut down the speech and the speaker
never showed up due to fearing for his life and the extremist set fire to the campus causing
almost $100,000 dollars in damages, none of them are being held responsible as they were
scared and in fear of this speaker to whom they never had to go to in the first place.
Businesses and websites also can be hit and even completely ruined by these radicals, ONe big
example followed the election of Donald Trump as President, and even his presidency was an
outcry by the public to express their hatred of our current PC culture, At Hampshire college some
of these radical burned multiple american flags and called it a symbol of racism. Now i'm not a
fan of the whole AMERICA thing but it's about respect for the people that gave their lives for
the flag. Outraged by this almost terroristic action, an advertising website TurtleBoy was
attacked by these radicals on social media for showing their disapproval of the action of these
college students burning american flags because they didn't get their way. The head of the
website was maliciously attacked and called a confirmed pedofile when no such legal
conformation, nor and reports that would suggest this at all, they also immediately came at the
website with accusations of being rasist and sesist and classist, two of which were eliminated by
one of the black editor of the website and also one of the female editor of the website.
Now does this seem right to you? Sure you may disagree with someone but will you take
away their right to say it? What stops them , from their perspective, as perceiving they are right
and you are at fault and they take away your right to say that you wish, if we get into the logistics
of banning word outright as these extremists are trying, and unfortunately making headway due
to many businesses and companys being afraid of being driven right out of business by this
current generation of Snowflakes ( the current generation of imbeciles tha take offense to every
little thing they can). Not only is it wrong, IT'S ILLEGAL, but due to the pressure caused by
these irrational people many courts have caved in to avoid being called classist or homophobic or
sexist, or whatever other words they decide to slam the court with when they don't get their way
because hate speech is horrid. Unless it's them spewing it at you telling you how and why
you're wrong only in terms that make sense in their made up world of thought policing.
I have my opinions and you have yours, but what right does either of us have to stop the
other from sharing it even if we may disagree everyone should be able to speak their mind, and if
every little thing someone says offends you, STOP LOOKING TO BE OFFENDED, get some
thicker skin, or just deal with it and avoid that person just as everyone tried to avoid these
ridiculous savages that burn american flags and want the american president to die, now if that
