Not people wanting people to have the freedom to use racial slurs freely without consequence because it's 'free speech'

Were they though. My Dad worked on the buses for 40 years and left the county as soon as he retired cuz of the years of racial abuse he had to endure in that job. It amounted to not much more than name calling but 40 years of it took its toll on him. He made his money and then left the country taking his money with him. Cool guy.

Who said anything about slaves?

Educate yourself my love. If you think the slave trade was the only thing done to black people then you're seriously naive. They were treated as second class citizens in all areas of life.

40 years before he decided he didn't like it ? can't have been that bad then could it ? ,people today are just bloody stupid, ask the majority of black people, its not THEM who moan, its other tree huggers who do it for them, its the tree huggers who cause the tension

The old adage of live and let live is true today as long as there is a lawyer, a court and a politician there to benefit from it.

The opposite of throwing around offensive language is kissing arse?

Ok. You must have very limited conversational skills if that's the case.

I don't have to kiss arse to not be racist or homophobic.

Tree huggers? I've no idea who you're talking about.

Yes 40 years. HE hated it but appreciated the money he was getting so he retired in Sept 2000 and by December he was gone. He'd been planning it for ages. And BTW he's much happier now.

[Daniel.]

It's not free speech, it's racist and sexist, his behaviour should not be tolerated. It's the same thing if someone was homophobic to me, it would upset me, his removal was fair.

[Liam-]

All non-racists being deduced as being 'tree huggers'

Nobody is telling you what to say or think. But you can expect consequences for using such disgusting language.

And black people aren't slaves anymore so they should bloody well appreciate how good they have it.

[Daniel.]

Because it's offensive to others, surely that's obvious. You can't just use free speech as an excuse to be nasty.

Exactly ive noticed the people get offened by everything are usually people that wouldn't know the first thing about being trully discriminated against there usually far left leaning Liberals that believe we are all equal and we should all dance round a conker tree holding hands. This level of disingenuous fakery makes me want to vomit.

I don't care about the size of your ego.

I'm just saying, you can say what you want but if you are racist then you can expect consequences.

"Free speech" isn't as simple as you seem to think it is.

[Daniel.]

No, I believe in free speech, but only when it's not insulting to others or minorities, that's just nasty. There's a difference.

We have free speech, what we don't have is the allowance for racists and bigots to freely spew their bile and i am more than okay with that, I'm sure 90% of the world is okay with that.

That's just using the opposite extreme the same as you used tree hugger earlier. You don't need to switch to the opposite unless you have bipolar disorder.

Exactly.

They always have to have the reverse extreme. So overly simplistic.
