"Not being able to" is inaccurate. You're perfectly able to insult retards to their face. There will just be repurcussions-- WWE sponsors will be lost. Vince will lose millions overnight, quite literally. The entire company will be dragged through the mud and in the worst case, nobody will be buying tickets to take their families out to a night at a house show/live event anymore as a result. Is this right? I'm of the opinion that just because one person (let's say you for example) feels outraged by someone else exercising their Freedom of Speech to mock retards shouldn't mean that you can impose your belief system on me. Maybe I grew up next to a house full of retards who constantly bullied me everyday, and thus I get a Driver's High effect everytime I utter the word 'retard' in an insulting manner. You don't know my life. In any case, free speech trumps anybody's butt hurt always. But personal freedom always trumps free speech. In conclusion, as long as you don't die from me calling you a retard, man up and deal with it. Freedom of speech does not mean what you think it means. It does not mean the freedom to say anything without criticism. It means that you won't be censored by a government. The consequence of you using your speech freely is that everyone else is able to use their speech freely and tell you you're acting like a complete prat, or for companies to lose sponsors and interest. What you call 'butt hurt', we call our freedom of speech. And freedoms come with responsibilities. If it's so hard for you to speak without oppressing the downtrodden in society, well... Man up and deal with it. This is the correct answer. People who weren't watching at the time seem shocked at stuff like that, or Lawler using the "f" word, but society was different in the 90's, especially the late-90's. These words were still offensive back then, it's just that the people in charge didn't care who they were offending. I know exactly what freedom of speech is. Hence why I said (and I self-quote) "There will just be repurcussions" viz. the WWE losing sponsors. In fact you basically just regurgitated everything I said, then even stole my 'deal with it' at the end. Congrats on utilizing your Freedom of Speech in the most useless of ways!

I must say, nothing quite as First World Problems as spouting off about PC police because you can't use a slur. "Waaah, those bullies won't let me call people n***** or f*****! Why can't they just shut up and take it like they used to in the good ol' days?" I see you're another person who completely misunderstood my earlier post. I was actually making a nonbiased observation on the matter of using insulting words in public, and objectively coming to the conclusion that words are just words as long as they don't be 'threats against someone's life'. This is the objective truth no matter how much you or anyone else gets outraged by different belief systems. And for the record as a Black man who's suffered through a LOT of racism whilst living in Southern USA for over two decades-- again, you don't know my life. Please don't assume that attacking the strawman of 'First World Problems' means a damn thing to me or anyone else who leaves their preconceived notions outside of an objective conversation about this topic.

X-Pac: Kane, why don't you wear the green DX outfits we got you?
Kane: The green ones make me horny!
X-Pac: How do you feel about Tori?
Kane: I love Tori!
Tori: How do you feel about ashtrays?
Kane: I love ashtrays!

I just find it funny that people who complain about people being so butthurt are usually more butthurt. I just find both extreme sides equally annoying. Being butthurt and/or causing people to be butthurt is part of our job description.

If you get a kick out of degrading others, be it those with a disability, the gay or others, that's on you. But don't try and use your hardships as an excuse. That's f***ing cheap.

I don't see the point in getting riled up over something Rock said about 15 years ago. Sure, that wouldn't fly now, but it did then. Rock also did bad impressions of Chinese people, which wouldn't fly now either.

No, don't stop him, he's on a roll. I only have to stub my toe like 3 more times to justify my anti-Hungarian rants.
