In my experience, those who speak in such a "politically correct" way are the ones who have the most to hide, usually about the subject they are downplaying by being politically correct.
"Politically Correct" ... simply meaning that it's worded in such a way to be as inoffensive as possible while white-washing it's actual public revulsion.
Basically, if you want to be PC, you go ahead an be one of the "many bloodsuckers" re-writing what is "correct"
First off: my car is mine, and I can do whatever I want to it.
Second: Every part (including 3rd party mfg replacement) has to adhere to ,or be better than, OEM specs already. If it's not passing any sort of "emissions standards", it's most likely the owner's fault for failing to keep up maintenance.
Ever since the addition of the yellow notice box asking for support, the <next article> link between articles have been missing from random articles (but the missing link is persistent even on refresh/ cache clear).
The previous article (Florida State Police raid) doesn't link to this article. This article does have the the link to that article though (all articles missing the next article link still have previous article links)
Even Better: The "Yelling 'Fire' in a crowded theater" was a rhetorical device used to evoke a certain feeling. That "famous" quote is talked about in Make No Law Podcast: Episode 7. A later court decision defined the "strict scrutiny" standard which would be talked about in the next episode. The yelling 'Fire!' in the crowded theater being unlawful would be determined by what the totality of the circumstance. i.e: Was it meant to evoke a panic?, etc...
I just want to say that it was a great video! Whomever was offended by it (especially as it only used Downfall meme as the setting for the angry rant) needs to get their head outta the sand (or wherever it may be) and face reality.

Lack of understanding
What about "NO" is so hard to understand for these people?!
Is it the "N" or the "O" ?!?

It's a certain kind of satisfying to see someone declared as libel-proof.

And this is why I'll never install, let alone buy, anything from the Epic(ally horrendous) store.

About the video
I just want to say that it was a great video! Whomever was offended by it (especially as it only used Downfall meme as the setting for the angry rant) needs to get their head outta the sand (or wherever it may be) and face reality.
