So you're in favor of the censorship and safe spaces for the fragile college students?

I didn't say that. I'm for freedom of speech. I thought it was dumb when Carlin was arrested (well I wasn't born yet). And I think people shouldn't bitch about what people say especially when it's a paid event.

That being said, over time there's been sensitive subjects in our society that people get blasted for discussing. In Carlin's time it was battling cuss words, at a time when it was ok to be racist. Now it's about Race.

In the article, the comedian explains how a "writer" spliced what Louis CK said and took it totally out of context.

It wasn't okay to be racist in the 70s. It's not okay now. It's okay to poke fun at it.

SJW's are humorless bores. They're as humorless and fundies.

Amy Schumer is the fat chick in college who thinks the hot chicks hang with her because she’s funny.

She’s not. She’s just fat and obnoxious and makes the 7’s look like 9’s in comparison.
