this is a simple question for those of you who have taken more than 3 seconds to read about social sciences.(you know who you are )

some of you aspiring social scientists out there believe that when it comes to politics, you can't legislate morality.

if that is true, that morality cannot be legislated, how in the world do you expect common curtisey to be legislated? i'm referring specifically to the politcal correct police out there, who attempt to ruin anyone's life if they think that something coming out of that person's mouth is "offensive".

so have a go at explaining how this could be.....

go.

PC, whatever its faults, is not legislation.

"might as well be" does not make it law....

So people should be immune to any reaction to their words? That makes no sense.

Calling for a boycott is exercising free speech in response to someone else's exercise of free speech. Imus cannot be jailed for what he said; that's good. Imus could lose his job for what he said; that's life in the marketplace.

i find it ironic that people are more acceptting of hearing the f word in public than people using the word gay. i find it ironic that jesse jackson and al sharpton have said worse about their own people, yet no one raises a finger to criticize.

yeah.... your explanation really explains it all.

I don't think that's true, except when gay is being used as an epithet. And then the difference is that the f-word is merely vulgar, while the other is a personal attack.

No one cares if Jews tell Jewish jokes. There's a difference between poking fun at yourself and being made fun of by someone else.

I wasn't attempting a substantive reply to your question. Simply noting a flaw in the logic.

I don't understand what you think your post proves.
