Why are people so freaking sensitive now that everybody is on this ”PC wave” Does freedom of speech still exist?

I remember only a decade ago when you could have an opinion about something without ppl becoming all crazy and ****! You can actually be thrown in jail for saying something that isnt ”normal” like wtf. **** THIS MODERN WESTERN SOCEITY!

    I try to ignore these insane people as much as I can. I MAY have to return to the hills and hollows, and caves of the Missouri Ozarks' woodlands, where I was born and raised. People back there MAY be like in the old days, SANE.

    Your rights to free speech end where my rights begin. Free speech does not mean you can say whatever you want. A verbal assault is still an assault.

    Its embarrassing really,that there exists people that would put freedom of speech behind personal feelings of things mankind needs.We need to move back to reals and not feels.

    Could you imagine being a snowflake in doctors office being told you had terminal cancer only to reply(because you didn't like the truth) I don't feel you are right...?

    Bad example,but the point stands because they do it with every other fact the dispells their bullshit.

    "Freedom of Speech" never existed in the sense that some people THINK it does.

    The powerful always have and will continue to control what is said.

    The Amendment ONLY allows the public to speak about government to the government.

    It does not protect the specific individual or the individual statements.

    Also, while the "freedom" allows a person to speak, it does not protect the speech being Heard. Mobs frequently shout down speakers without punishment.
