Freedom of speech or Free speech is thing of past and no longer acceptable because political correctness, its origin and validation is the problem. Masses say they are offended simply to play the sympathy card to try to make someone else's opinion invalid or prove them false. If indeed people have become so insecure that political correctness is necessary, then the raising of children around is the problem. Remember, "Sticks, Batton can break your bones, but words can never hurt you." It's time to teach that to our younger generation again, and not, if someone calls you a name, cry like a dumbass, and ask for special treatment because your special.
