Would it still be a free society if people were not free to be unarmed?Because not everyone was armed. There has been few if any societies where ALL the people were armed. Even in Sparta not everyone was armed and they were the closest.
There's that little Constitution thingy in the way.
Are you a racist? I don't know. You sure as hell are asking some dumb questions about it, though, as if you don't know what it is to be racist. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that while you may not be a textbook racist, your ignorance is going to land you in racial hot water occasionally.
Disagreeing with Obama doesn't make you a racist unless you're just disagreeing because he's black. If you choose to sell your house to a white family over a black family, that could be taken either way, depending upon your own race. As for refusing service to someone because of their color, well, that's an easy one, Mr. Bunker.
You serve my point exactly,, You basically called me a racist ( Mr Bunker) just because I asked a "dumb question" They may be dumb questions to you,, But people get called racist all the time for just disagreeing with someone ( of the opposite race)
Maybe you can define for me just what is "racist" I mean it's a word thrown around so easily these days.
These questions may be "Cheesy" but they sure got a rise out of you, You instantly assume I am ignorant & very possibly a racist, all without knowing who I am, Or what I am.

The sad thing is that some people think that being openly racist, vulgar, discriminatory, hateful, aggressive or anti-gay/muslim/christian/etc. etc. etc. is nothing more than no longer being politically correct.
Sorry, but that is not being "not politically correct", Lewis Black is not politically correct, some others are just racists/hatemongers or think that lacking civility is destroying a country, which of course it is not. Not being honest might be but not being a total dickhead towards others is not really going to destroy a country now is it.
Or at least that is my opinion.
Would it still be a free society if people were not free to be unarmed?
Lacking civility is destroying this country. It goes back to basic human respect for all.
Until they demonstrate to me or others, that they don't deserve our respect, they should get it. If they don't, than our respect is misplaced.
In my entire career, I did my best to show respect to all. Most of the time, it paid off, but not always.
Lacking civility is a big problem but people claiming to want to stop feeling the need to be politically correct are people who do not want to save the society from lack of civility, their goal is to increase the lack of civility because they want the absolute opposite of civil behavior.

I don't agree. PC is BS........all PC does is create a society of mental midgets and hand wringers who depend on nanny govt. for all their needs!
IMHO................PC restricts free thought, and is cause for robotic behavior. The US of A was not founded on PC and I will rail against it, always, just like I do with ill conceived liberalism!
Were you standing in a carnival "house of mirrors" when you typed this?
Nope, being an asshole in public (like for example Trump) may be seen by some as someone who stands up for being politically incorrect but I see it very diferently, I see it as the ramblings of an demagogue populist who uses insults, assholery and vile comments as so called "standing up against the PC culture" but he in the end is, is a jackass with lacking social skills and immensely thin skin.
shows limitations in thinking

In other words, he compares well to his component?
Or they're just sick and tired of people telling them what is ok to say.
I am sorry but I think that is BS, being politically correct and civil has nothing to do with a nanny government, that is just ridiculous.
The USA was founded on a lot of things, but thank goodness mankind has grown from the day when women, minorities, gays where treated like scum in word and reality, so thank goodness civil behavior has become the norm, you may call that be politically correct, I say that is a lot better than being politically incorrect.
Like how car maker Ford was once very politically incorrect with loads of horrendous anti-Jewish comments, now if politically correctness means that people who spread such bigotry and anti-semitism is frowned upon and not respected or stood for is a great thing.
Because nobody in the US has ever been banned from being politically incorrect, the response of the public is the only thing that has changed IMO.

Nope, he is much much much much much much much much much worse than Hillary.

Truly amazing these days how so many will ignore or trash the Constitution....to fit their ****ed up agenda!
Thank God the Founders of this Great Country, wrote up documents that must be adhered to.
So far Trump has trashed the first, fourth, eighth and tenth amendments and the separation of powers to fit his trumped up agenda.
So if you care so much about the Constitution then perhaps you should reconsider your feelings for Trump.

I totally agree but notice you skipped over what President Barack Obama has done and what Sen. Clinton has done and wants to do.
Watch the YouTube video of President Obama maintaining he isn't an emperor shortly before he decided he is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBzodV1c3vg
I'm glad you agree....but Obama isn't running for election and the heavily edited video isn't relevant to the topic or the discussion.
At least one of us can see that a bastard ignoring the Constitution is simply a bastard ignoring the Constitution and ideology doesn't change a thing. But, I do understand that Clintonista, Obamabots, and Trumpkins totally support their Glorious Leaders in ignoring the Constitution.
The constitution was damaged more by George Bush's Patriot Act than anything sense. Regardless, it seems like our founding document gets arbitrarily interpreted, like political scripture, and justice and freedom for ordinary people are relative to those interpretations. I personally feel that we deserve better but there's a lot of voters on the right that think that "better" means more war, bigotry and wealth worship and it's hard to find any justice in those things.
