Well there are plenty of countries you can move to where that's welcomed. Usually doesn't end up well for the people living there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never figured out why so many people think freedom on speech means freedom of repercussions of speech. People REALLY need to learn some history and what freedom of speech ACTUALLY was intended to protect, and from whom.

Well Norm I can tell you what I think is wrong and what you think are probably on opposite ends of the spectrum judging by your posts. So I'll leave you to your opinion and move on with my day.

They figured it out. They want to silence others all the time. They want to mock **** they say that they don't agree with. It's all an act. That being said, yes there are morons that have no clue what FoS really is but most of them understand it more than they pretend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 As long as you understand some of the subtleties (like FoS can be used as a shield to hide behind) you are good. If you are spending even a little time thinking about this stuff, you are probably better than most others, already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People REALLY need to learn some history and what freedom of speech ACTUALLY was intended to protect, and from whom. I think NAZI Germany is an actual great history lesson as to why there needs to be both sides being heard. Look at the Brown Shirts. Their sole purpose was to oppress opposition speech. Their job was to intimidate so the other side could be marginalized. Maybe relate it to what is happening now, to a much lesser degree, in America. History always has a way of repeating itself. Genocide never happened because there was too much debate. It happens when one side gets marginalized and are not allowed to speak. Actual science is all about vigorous debate until you can rule things out. Not at all what has been happening lately. I'm not getting any deeper into this, because you are dug in with your beliefs and so am I, so it serves no purpose.

MacReady Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 If I was President of the United States, nothing would change. I really need to just be world dictator.
