Words to be avoided in Polite Conversation
#23
RE: Words to be avoided in Polite Conversation
"Freedom of speech" frees no one from the consequences of his or her words, in regards to ordinary citizens. I think what certain individuals actually expect is the ability or right to say "uncomfortable" things, without they themselves being subjected to "uncomfortable"responses. 

It just doesn't work that way. 

People can say what they want. Others can, as well.

If you choose to make disparaging comments, put on your big-boy/big-girl pants and be prepared to deal with potential backlash and/or fallout.
If you can't handle that, then reconsider making such comments. Or just shit and run.

That works.
