> maybe just content on making non violent jokes about blacks or gays

The nonviolent "jokes" have a habit of escalating into real violence. If you let enough people post N-word rants without consequence and with validation from their hateful peers often enough they will egg each other on until eventually someone burns down or shoots up a church.



Yeah, I guess that's what I'm starting to see.

Like I said, "This is why we can't have nice things."


Ultimately you can only have one absolute principle or right; if you have two, eventually they will come into conflict and you have to decide which is really absolute and which is just mostly absolute.
