Which is why I get so tired of hearing that I'm squashing their "free speech" if I say they're saying something stupid.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-55028018797439052752017-03-14T12:46:08.165-07:002017-03-14T12:46:08.165-07:00All true.

That should be taught right after learning about the first amendment because people have no idea what it means. There are entirely too many people who need to shut the hell up when I tell them they're being assholes instead of whining about their freedom of speech.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-32927236377062671962017-03-13T09:40:19.276-07:002017-03-13T09:40:19.276-07:00Most of the time, when I say "freedom of spee...Most of the time, when I say "freedom of speech", I say it really fast, and when mashed together it kind of sounds like "freedoma speech."<br /><br />Maybe I DO sound dumb saying it. You have really given me something to think about.<br /><br />I'm going to go ponder this on myspace. And just to be clear, when I say myspace, I don't mean my <i>actual</i> space, I mean the 2003 social network Myspace. I'm burned out on Facebook.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-31365653167770414152017-03-13T08:02:39.519-07:002017-03-13T08:02:39.519-07:00These blogosphere owners do exercise their rights ...These blogosphere owners do exercise their rights to censor things placed on their pages in their Terms of Service Agreements. For full freedom someone would have to create their own server and hope that Google would come along and propagate their link - which they don't have to do either.Symbologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602452302393058810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-80400992026044871342017-03-13T07:32:52.910-07:002017-03-13T07:32:52.910-07:00Ooh, that last line. Nice one.
The answer to spee...Ooh, that last line. Nice one.<br /><br />The answer to speech we don't like is more speech. My own pet peeve is when people confuse a boycott with an infringement on speech. Boycotts aren't infringements. They are speech of their own, protesting speech someone else doesn't like. Personal/private action to shut up someone who says something dumb isn't an infringement on First Amendment rights. It's a First Amendment right in and of itself.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.com
