Tolerance - Political Correctness - Liberty & Constitutional Law
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..."
Part of the US Constitution is the Bill of Rights: Bill of Rights Constitution US Law LII Legal Information Institute
Rules in effect:
"Zone 1": Clean Debate Zone (CDZ) / Introduce Yourself (Welcome Threads): Civil discourse is the focus here, regardless of topic matter. Constructive criticism and debate is the tone. No insulting, name calling, or putting down other posters. Consider it a lesson in Civics.
THE TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED: Agree or disagree:
(1) Tolerance is a one-way street allowing opposing points of view to exist side by side in peace.
(2) Political Correctness exists only in the politically correct worlds of extremists on all sides
(3) Liberty is thrown around these days like a wet noodle at a Vegetarian restaurant. It is losing it's meaning and value in our society because of those who have abused and misused the term. Think calling every sexual encounter that is clumsy or that unfortunately ends badly, rape; every battle between people a holocaust; every Republican a right winger; every Democrat...you get the idea.
(4) Constitution law is a subject most people know little about, and those who know more than a little are usually proven wrong time and time again.
