Has PC (political correctness) gone too far??

Question

what happened to freedom of speech???

Answer 1

To say "freedom of speech" is politically incorrect.Kindly be politically correct and choose another terminology.

Edit.....Yes,to a certain extent it has but,it has to be acknowleged,that there were a lot of hateful things said,under the blanket protection of "freedom of speech".

Answer 2

I believe people should have the right to freedom of speech. A person may have the right to say something hateful, but I have the right to retort back. PC has good intentions, but it just makes everyone more sensitive; to the point where a person is afraid to say what's really on their mind, because of the fear of being called a racist, sexist, etc.  I just don't like PC comedies though. lol. It seems weird, yes. But I hate when a comedy is all PC. Comedies should poke fun at our society and things and shouldn't be PC at all. Which is why I'm glad there's still movies like Tropic Thunder out. :D Could you imagine a Mel Brooks film being PC?  

Answer 3

That depends.  I mean if you are purposely trying to offend a person..then no, it hasn't gone too far.  Freedom of speech has gone too far if a person thinks it's OK to use racist comments just because he wants to.
