That is the usual problem with ideas about monkeying with the Constitution. Everyone likes it just fine when it solves their "problem" but never considers what might happen when the shoe is on the other foot.

It is just as upsetting to me that the generations before millenials are almost as in favor of limiting some speech because it is "hate speech."

Maybe someone should offer a law to criminalize all advocacy of "hate speech" laws.

I suppose they'd be oblivious to that point, too.

I agree Para but, I see the problem now is life doesn’t or isn’t allowed to kick the shit out of them like it used to. There are so many “safe zones”, etc... in the workplace, classroom, world, etc.... that, I think, life isn’t allowed to be as harsh to libs.

Speaking of free speech I heard on the radio yesterday that a legislator in MA has proposed a bill to ban the use of the word “bitch” in MA. Punishable by fines and/or jail time!!! I doubt, even in MA, that it will be a go. Talk about nuts!!!

The majority of millennials are blithering dolts. But then again, we were raised at the University of Hard Knocks...got my PhD. Just sayin'...

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

This was on OAN/Tipping Point last night. At first I thought it was to ban 'Boston' or 'beans'. Either one would eliminate a lot of gas.

They don't really know what they believe. Remember how confused you were when you were young. You really didn't know what to believe and you allowed your peer group and teachers to influence you more than you allowed your parents to influence you. Your parents were kinda dumb and old-fashioned. Remember? You were much smarter than they, right? But your friends and your leftist teachers, well, they knew about things. Totally predictable. The only difference is that these little idiots are up against this stupid shit a lot worrse than we were, but life is gonna knock that shit right out of them. Won't take that long, either.

Life and experience will wring this stupid shit out of them, or most of them, anyway. They may "want" to restrict freedom of speech, but they would have to change the Constitution to get what they want. Ain't gonna happen. All they're doing when they make silly statements like this is putting their naivety and inexperience on public display, and most of them will come to regret it.

So we should limit the franchise (voting) to folks 35 and older . . . .

There are people rioting, actually risking their well-being and the well-being of their families in Hong Kong...for the same Constitutional rights that many Millenials and other jackasses in the U.S. are willingly supporting restrictions on.

More good news:
The people who advocate this are breeding. What will their offspring want to bring about?

The millennial/commies want to limit our free speech, not theirs.

The next generation rebels against the last, and adopt their own ideas.

There were people dying here for that same right about 250 years ago.

Same with a little over 100 years ago in Europe.

Then a repeat 75 years ago in Europe and in Asia.

Then there's the ones putting it on the line in Iraq and Afghanistan because some religious extremists wouldn't mind killing us because of our Freedoms.

I guess they don't teach history anymore.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind a few restrictions... Next little snowflake that whines about restricting free speech, and the 1st Amendment needs to go to jail for Treason or Sedition.

Kinda a "Ok, YOU FIRST" Attitude. Let's see how it pans out for them.

The problem is that these little shits have been indoctrinated by their retarded parents, libtard educational system and reinforced by the social media system.
Anything they don't believe in is hate speech.
Most all of it it is intense liberal indoctrination starting at birth.

The world is hard and they are soft as kittens. Bunch of bitches.

For what it is worth, the average life span of a democracy is about 200 years. We are at about 230.

The last thing these idiot millennials want is "free speech". It makes them think about stuff they should have learned in grade school, at home. But since the schools have been turned into indoctrination centers, and parents over the last 20+ years have come from those places, why are we surprised?

What did Saul Alinsky say about it?

Those rioters are in their early 20s, too. Young.

Interesting observation. How ironic...young people in one country denied freedom and rioting to demand it...and young people in another country basking in Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms demanding restrictions on them.
