SirVixIsVexed That's not what I insinuated. Questioning a right that all human beings are born with if said right improves the lives of human beings is reading way too much in to way too little.
SirVixIsVexed Thinking a right that all humans have benefits others better doesn't make it a right. That's why thinking free speech helps others more is a terrible idea, because it doesn't. It serves everyone but the enemies of free speech, inherently the enemy of the public.
one thing I should mention. Free speech shouldn't override private property right. the example of university ruled to allow gay speech is a bad example. And ofc I should never be forced to put up with solicitors at my own place.
+MagicSteel1 Texas A&M is public. They don't get to decide what sort of speech their students may or may not engage in. If a private college like Texas Christian University had said no gay rights activist clubs that's fine because TCU is private but a public college like A&M can't discriminate.
Monsuco Another reason why government should not be doling out tax payer monies. Government politicizes everything because it attracts social engineers and monopolists. Without government interference, these would be mere social issues that would get straightened out in the market place.
@WorksForMe Govt is the greatest enabler of corruption and cronyism which is how you most commonly end up with a corrupt market place. Govt can do this with licenses, regulations, agreements with K Street lobbyists and much more.
In general I agree with this video. However, I also believe it's important to recognize that calling speech offensive is not the same thing as trying to censor it. I have had to listen to far too many people speak their minds in a "politically incorrect" manner and then act like total victims when they're called awful names for it. It might not be fair that you get called a racist for disagreeing with Obama--and I would personally consider someone reaching that conclusion simple-minded for suggesting it--but that doesn't mean they're violating your rights by calling you one. In short, what I think I'm saying is that you have a right to free speech and it shouldn't be censored, but you should also be prepared to accept the consequences for saying what you do. That's why those who complain about "political correctness" actually bug me. It's like they're saying they should be immune to backlash for saying something inflammatory, like "protected speech" is supposed to be "consequence-free speech." If the consequences included jail time or the threat of death that would be one thing, but if the consequences are that sponsors no longer want to advertise on your show, or that people don't want you to be part of a group, then you'll have to just deal with it. Some speech IS offensive, and calling it offensive is not the same thing as trying to silence it.
Only one of the four activist groups he mentions are unique in regards to speech. The first three groups never sought to silence their opposition with imprisonment and death threats. Just the most recent one. That tells me a lot about the "ethics" of the movement.
Liked the content. But learn to use an outline instead of a script when speaking so you are less of a robot. You should know your stuff, you don't need a script.
"When people call for censorship, they often argue that offensive speech is harmful to the vulnerable and oppressed." ...Who exactly is calling for censorship? Who are you arguing against?

Questioning a right you have is the height of priviledge.
jpz719 Privilege isn't bad. We should aim for everyone to be privileged.

.SirVixIsVexed Didn''t use the word white nor did i say some priveledges are undeserved. ONCE.
***** I agree with that. I didn't mean we should cut people down, but rather, aim to raise everyone up.

His eye brows are on fleek!
Free speech is okay unless you're a small business owner who objects to being forced to bake a cake in an objectionable fashion.
Glad someone said it
free speech does not apply here. you can say anything you want but you cannot discriminate.
+Oscar Perez you should be able to discriminate against anyone. It's the only way to change the status quo.
M. Easton Johnston alright, i will start discriminating against the likes of you
+M. Easton Johnston i have heard stupid things, but your comment is in the top 5

And thats what makes those people assholes
A university not recognizing a club is not an example of speech infringement
People should have the right to say what they want, but others shouldn't have to listen to it...
In life it's 10 percent what you say, 90 percent how you say it. Monotone slow voice and bland background.

Most of the videos on this channel I disagree with, but I'm glad there is something that I think is right.
"When people call for censorship, they often argue that offensive speech is harmful to the vulnerable and oppressed."
...Who exactly is calling for censorship? Who are you arguing against?
In what way are progressives and minorities calling for censorship? How? What is it they want censored?
+carrierjunkie What rock have you been living under? I want to move there.

Yes. Next.

That guy is pretty hot!
This is such an awkward video.
So who is willing to promote a realistic "Romeo and Juliet" with Romeo and Juliet both being 13 years old and being in love(you know what that means).
