NON-WHITES have a similar view...which is why more immigration = less freedom.

I’m offended by the Millennial vote, so we can ban it. /s

This is the result of limiting human contact through the overuse of the iphone and other smartphone devices.

How about banning speech offensive to majorities? Would that be okay with them?

Political correctness will destroy this country because we won't even be able to talk about why it is going to Hell in a hand basket.

Wait!

I have an idea!

How about we just be free to speak our mind and let the chips fall where they may?

Yes, and no...

Revisit the education levels and note that with more education, people surveyed wanted more freedom of speech.

Maybe the indoctrination isn't working.

(And maybe that's why the big putsch to limit speech.)

In another generation, we likely won’t have a judicial branch of gov’t fluent in the constitution. Kind of hard to have any optimism.

So..this basically states the people should stop talking to each other as anyone can be offended by anything. Well, that’s just great. Sigh

American Millennials are far more likely than older generations to say the government should be able to prevent people from saying offensive statements about minority groups,

I guess the Millennials are ready to surrender the English language to the largely illiterate minorities.

The perpetually enraged minorities are constantly finding new words to by which to be triggered.

So given enough time and if the minorities have access to a large enough dictionary eventually every member of the majority in the US would be functionally mute and the minorities would have control of every conversation because they would be the only ones aloud to speak.

I’m watching The Man in the High Castle: Nazi/Japan-occupied US following the loss of WWII. The speech control and anti-semitism are where we are now. But at least there’s finally some authority in the country.

This is a result of banning History in our schools. America is headed for the Mother of All Train Wrecks.

Civil war maybe? On second thought, probably not. They will keep picking us off a few at a time. The government will never allow a white backlash, so what do we have to look forward to?

They are all for not offending anyone—except Republicans. Love the line in “The Affair”... “I’ll date him as long as he is not a racist or a Republican.”

On one hand, Holder castigated us because we were too "cowardly" to conduct a national dialog on racism - and on the other, we're not allowed to say anything "offensive."

They got us coming and going!

Regards,

Poor wittle babies. ....I’m a War Baby (1942), so I guess that puts me in what they are calling the “Silent” gen.

These little tinkerbells of today would have apoplexy and keel over if they heard the language we kids were using from before first grade through the end of my active duty in the Navy in the early 1960s.

Appears that my generation figures on the graphic agree with my views about saying things publicly. Going down the list, it’s 80, 73, 77, 72 and 75 %.
