The VG Resource

The rising spectacle in society that is ever growing today.

In a nutshell, this concept boils down to limiting the most basic inalienable rights, such as Free Speech, under the pretense that use of such rights will hurt someone's feelings.

Is it worth losing the ability to mention or discuss anything that may be considered sensitive, just for the sake of feelings, or should we be allowed to say whatever we like, as is the right of Free Speech?

The constitution doesn't protect your feelings from getting hurt -my history and ethics teacher

That statement is offensive. Mods please remove

Freedom of expression through physical means is also being attacked. Is this really what the world wants?

Feelings are one thing (as mentioned, the constitution doesn't care), being physically attacked is another.

Coercion is also a thing, you can't just babble to a person without any limits if the person doesn't want to speak with you.
