FCC commissioner: U.S. tradition of free expression slipping away

• orionblastar 11y ago
  Our freedoms and rights seem to end were the people who get offended and have hurt feelings begin. Have an opinion that is not in the majority and you might get censored? Free expression and free speech means you can have your opinions even if the majority does not agree with you. Without it there can be no honest debates that lead to learning. The majority is not always right. Like when the majority supported slavery or killing Native-Americans. Things have changed since then, but censoring the minority opinions is just censorchip and has no place in a free society.

    This 1000 times. We are also doing our college students a disservice by creating 'safe spaces'. This is just a continuation of the mentality that 'everyone should get a trophy' that started in the early 90s. I still remember when I was in school (which is when all of this started) and we would be required to end kickball games early, so we could 'tie'. If you can't handle being offended, you won't ever learn how to overcome it.
