And keeping it simple. As I said, just like with discrimination, all forms of censorship are not wrong. You seem to hold a view opposite to that, and I don’t agree. Quite frankly, I believe that sometimes some people need to be told to sit down and shut the fuck up.
In fact, it’s well-established constitutional law that sometimes speech can be dangerous and therefore subject to regulation and prohibited. It’s not illegal to hate. But it is to hurt. And when the hurt crosses the line, the speech can be curtailed.
The thing is that you have to be careful because freedom of speech is guaranteed in the Constitution. Too many arrogant Americans thinks that means they can do and say whatever the hell they want. Well they can’t. Your rights end where my nose begins. Americans are always quick to assert their fucking rights, but not too quick to carry their obligations.
In any event, nothing we’re talking about here is quite that weighty. And there’s certainly no government nexus involved. Nobody here has ANY right to be heard by me or anybody else. And if I don’t want to hear their bullshit, then I or anybody else have capacity to put them on ignore . . . shut them up . . . so I don’t have to read anything they say.
That’s where Submission52 is for me. And there he shall stay.
discrimination and censorship can not be a one way street...either you have it or you don't....the censorship is an easy fix and we have laws regarding it....freedom of speech....but it is different when they incite...………..discrimination has to be taught...we make fun of the jews and the plo...they have been fighting for centuries....but is the rest of the world any different....wars have been fought over it......probably never go away......that makes the education part that much more important...it is where the discrimination...and other things (some republicans) all come into play
will agree freedom of speech ...along with several other rights have been twisted to please the last few years.....but hopefully we can get that back under control
Oh I can agree on submission....irritating to say the least....but I have the choice to either read or not and move one....respond or not and move on....but then people like ALLFOR...who fought for this country...supported whom he thought was right...and admitted he would support the next pres...pushing him out was wrong....we can not become tyrannical in this now we have won.....makes us no better than what we have fought against
bottom line...I just don't like the censorship or pushing them out.....some of these republicans maybe we can educate....others....ignore and move on...as long as they do not pose some sort of threat their talk is harmless
