Pew Research poll

Note that the question was should the government be able to PREVENT people from saying things offensive to minorities. Focus on PREVENT. How does gov't prevent something?

Have we really come this far.

I'm not okay with limiting speech in any form unless said speech actively puts someone at risk for self harm (the extreme example being that girl goading her boyfriend into committing suicide).

Not sure of that. Seems a majority of those who think government should be able to limit speech offensive to minorities don't even have a college degree.

I think the number is a little low personally. If we can get this to a majority then we can take to the streets and protest and hopefully get a law that makes racial slurs or offensive language to minorities a hate crime punishable by lots of jail time. I feel guilt everyday that I am white and have so much privilege while across this country minorities are called horrible names and offended on an hourly basis. Wake up people and join the fight to make racist thoughts and views and anything deemed offensive by minorities a crime and help to slowly erode the white privilege we have.

And that has what to do with what I said? I said Social Justice Warriors and Leftist... Did I say college or degree?

wtf does that have to do with what he said?
Is GreenWave16 for real or he does have a goal of reaching Savacool's negative reputation?
I'm not sure where they are finding these millennials. There is a concerted effort to paint millennials as being overwhelmingly liberal when in reality we are not.

I think the reality is that millennials are more extreme in their views, both left and right, than their parents.

I think he is a parody account and a damn good one.

Yep. I've come to agree with this also. At first he/it annoyed me pretty good, it was a head shaking embodiment of all that has gone so far off the tracks around this joint. Now that it's kind of apparent it's good stuff.
If his goal is to get some negative rep award, I wish we'd know that, I'd be happy to help him out in that regard. Otherwise, I hope he sticks around and sticks with his "causes". 03-thumbsup
