The night of October 21, 2015, I couldn’t sleep. I had just witnessed a little boy, about 10 years, named Butters, lead a public hanging of an older man, named Reality, in the small Colorado town of South Park. You see, under the tutelage of PC Principal, Steven Seagal, Vin Diesel and Katie Perry, people in South Park had discovered that they could retreat into a Safe Space every time someone said something unpleasant to them. They realized Reality was their enemy.
And when Reality crashed their Shameless America charity event, they decided it was time to kill him once and for all.
This deeply disturbed me. With no ability to "offend", how can we enforce our laws? Already, the extreme Left condones rapists and gets sworn into the DNC under the Qaran and not the Bible.
So I guess I've no choice but to ride my unicorn to Whiskeyland and hide out there until America gets some sense again.
Two things....
Shameless? We do not need to hang our heads in shame at a parody on life. Most real art pushes the boundaries to help keep folks thinking.
It is just that too many sleep through it now. When was the last time you or someone you knew went to a museum? Or a city meeting to challenge something, anything?
This is an active participation game. If you don't like the "shame" why are you posting the videos?
And you can offend.... Did you sleep through the recent supreme court ruling?

The best quote specifically starts of..... Justice Alito:
"[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”

Hi clevercreator, I think you may have misunderstood. I'm definitely not hanging my head in shame at a parody on life. Quite the opposite actually. The First Amendment is protected - for now - but when a society changes its values, the laws will eventually follow.

Then do not let them change their values.
How can you help and what can you do to ensure that free speech is maintained?
