What is becoming increasingly clear to me as I look into this is that Richard Dreyfuss is in a very poor state of mental health.

He has been suffering for years with bi-bipolar syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. Numerous reports of bizarre behaviour at public engagements and TV interviews; one in particular where he slipped down and half off of the armchair and instead ...[text shortened]... .

"They caught A shark. Not THE shark."
- Matt Hooper (played by Dreyfuss in JAWS 1975)
Exactly.

You shut these people down, you don't give them a forum to continue offending people.

It's like how people have agreed to say "the N-word" because actually saying the word is offensive in the extreme. No one is printing what he said because it was offensive enough the first time.

The idea is to not give these idiots a voice.
In this case Dreyfuss (or anyone else for that matter) disagreeing with a particular viewpoint regarding gender reassignment and using his right to freedom of speech to say so, should be stopped… is that what you’re saying?

People who say something which you personally find offensive should be “shut down”?

No, challenging some the notions around the promotion of gender reassignment is not “like saying the N-word” Suzianne.

Given what Suzianne has just written, it’s hardly surprising that there is little or no intelligent political debate in the US and the country is sinking into a mire of bi-partisan entrenchment and a culture of wanting to “shut down” those with differing opinions to oneself.

Aaaaaannnnnnd, the other shoe drops.

Are you going to admit that this kind of character assassination is why you started this thread?

Happy now?

You know what Suzianne; and I’m being completely honest here, your “shut them down” shrills come from the same place as all the MAGA rhetoric.

What a ridiculous comparison.

Left wingers are the ones who got all offended about words. They are the ones screaming at everyone and everything about what can and can't be said.

MAGA just wants to get rid of the weirdo freaks who turned up in the last 10 years or so.

Are you seriously going to call a bloke in a dress, ma'am? Do you like how London has become? Or do you ...[text shortened]... evious time?
That's the MAGA mindset.

We ARE the ones happily offending the sensitivity clowns.
You’re part of the problem, not part of the solution.
