It's not even the governemnt that is doing this. Small yet seemingly powerful groups dictate to the rest of us how to live our lives.
There are groups against words (no racial words, no percieved racial words, no words that could ever possibly offend anyone), against actions (gun owners,dog owners, suv drivers, joggers, jet skiers, smokers, drinking beer on the beach etc.) and groups formed to give crap to other groups.
And underlying it all is this notion that somehow through politically correct BS, we can and will some day live in fantasy la la land where everybody lives unoffended all day everyday in a socialist utopian society.
I miss America.

Stern's kinda in a class by himself. He's a rude, obnoxious asshole. Trying to get him to clean up his classless act is nowhere near the censorship being imposed by PCBS today.

Jenn,
This has gone on in many different forms for the better part of 20 years. It sucks as much today as it did then.
Lester,
We're talking about liberals and the religious right may as well be a punch of punk-ass statist liberals. That's about as much respect as I'll give their politics.
Darwin,
Censorship is censorship. You can certainly, and perhaps rightly, point to relative differences, but as you know, I make no such distinction. I treat it with equal disdain. Perhaps my disdain becomes a matter of priority as to who gets an ass kicking first.

"darwin- so imus calling the rutgers basketball team nappy headed hoes is totally different from stern?"
I'm saying the left is salivating at using any excuse to silence the right ... especially talk radio. They've been trying to kill that for years.
And yeah ... what Stern does and has done is really in a class by itself. Imus is no Stern.

Woah!
Free speech isn't being censored.
It's the old saying that whoever pays the piper gets to pick the tune.
If these muppets therefore want to start their own blogs or raidoshows, there is nothing standing in their way. Please don't tell me the right doesn't have the cash.
Every time I go back to the States, I am amazed at the ranting, on both sides, that passes as news.
It used to be that the words "nigger" and "ho" had no place on the airwaves as a matter of civility.

The point is Kris that it's getting to the point that NO ONE can say anything anymore without the risk of death, or firing....
It's out of control, and the governemnt with the help of libtards is making it law. Look to Canada. I mean "anti-discrimination" police????
You've got towns in the states that want to BAN the word nigger. Hey, it's not a nice word, but no one has a right to tell me not to say it. I'll say Nappy Headed Ho all day long if I damn well feel like it, and no one has a right to tell me I can't.
But that's not what's happening, people are starting to look for ways to take away that right.
And you, Mr. Geekioni, 20 years ago the furor was NOTHING like it is now.

There are four major aspects of this issue
1) Censorship (actively done by goverment or advocacy groups)
2) Self-censorship (encouraged by either of the above)
3) Self-regulation (or a lack thereof)
4) Over-sensitivity
Censorship is bad for the left or right. Everyone should be allowed to speak their peace. However, a little judgement on the specific words used is important. The left is focused on words being censored. I'm afraid that will translate into ideas being censored.
That leads me to Point #3. If we choose the right words to express a controversial idea, we make the same point and probably get a better response. Self-regulation isn't censorship, it's about using appropriate words to make a point. Why say nigger (which is intentionally derogatory) when negro, black man/woman, etc are perfectly acceptable.
Lastly, all these various enthic and social groups really must get over themselves. Whatever happened to "stick and stones, etc"? The use of negative words is done to draw a reaction. If you ignore the words, people will eventually stop using them.

Jenn, I've never heard of "anti-discrimination" police in Canada, where did you read about them?
I don't agree with censorship either, and I must admit that I listen to Howard Stern and I laugh hystericly.
By firing those people and causing that big uproar, those words are given a much greater power. A better strategy would have been to say "what a classless jackass, I'm not listening to him anymore", and proceeding to do that.

Yes, and no. "Butt pirate" is synonymous with "ass bandit", and in some areas, so is "turd burglar".
But, a turd burglar can also be defined as the person that tries to open the bathroom (or stall) door while you're taking a sh#t.
