OP, Is it weird knowing your currency is worth less than toilet tissue?

  I have been to many forums.  What I found is that right now there is more freedom of speech in Russia concerning the Ukraine than has ever existed on any topic at any forum.  (The media is almost as bad)  

The left side is a photo of Marina Ovsyannikova in US media, while on the right is Marina Ovsyannikova in Russia.



So you are obviously full of shit.

  Yes, I have more.  I wish posting them was easier.

 As for what I had to say about freedom of speech, all you need to do is see what happened to my thread to make my point.  I wonder when the additional memes in my replies will last.

Freedom of speech is a concept that limits the power of the government. It doesn't apply to private venues.

  I have been to many forums.  What I found is that right now there is more freedom of speech in Russia concerning the Ukraine than has ever existed on any topic at any forum.  (The media is almost as bad)  From what I have found, they all seem to be indirectly run by the government.  It is as Lenin said.  "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."  And from the conversations I have managed to have to some degree at those other forums, all the members are just fine with that.  Will things be any different here?  I doubt it.  But feel free to prove me wrong.  Also, Frank Zappa did a song about TV called, "I'm the slime."  In it there is a lyric that I have found to be all too true.  It says, "Don't go for help, no one will heed you."

  This category is supposedly about philosophy.  Most other forums also have a philosophy category.  They are meaningless.  Because without being able to speak the truth, no actual philosophy is possible.  I will show you some memes concerning freedom of speech.  If you follow the cult of lies and fantasy over reality, (and chances are you do) feel free to tell me which one offends you the most.

How do you know what “The Truth” is? What’s your process, and can you defend it?

Instead of posting a bunch of memes, why not offer some support for your thesis?

Freedom of speech isn't just for bitching and moaning. You can also use it to make well-structured arguments.

  As I said, I have been to many forums.  I have never run across one that wouldn't allow you to post a link to a website.  In fact at one, if you are posting something in their current events section, it is required.  How big of a pile of crap does a forum have to be to not allow it.  I gave the support for what I said.  It wasn't allowed.  What do you make of that.  Also, neither have I been to a forum that didn't allow you to post memes.  This place is the poster child for the results of censorship.  What do you make of that.

Read the rules.

You are allowed to post memes...after you have been here 30 days and made 30 posts.

Don't like the rules here?  Find one of those many other forums that will let you do what you want, when you want.

You can play by our house rules or you can take your ball and go elsewhere.

You’re not being censored. 

You will be allowed to post links and memes once you’ve been a member for 30 days and have made 30 posts.

It breaks my heart that you don’t like the forum Rules. I weep with indifference.

I suspect a troll but am willing to reserve judgement,............. for a bit.

  Take a guess.  Whatever the outcome, I would prefer to be a troll.  I also see that this forum is overflowing with rules.  My avatar shows what is going on with that.  I choose to disobey.  Anybody who doesn't like truth can "suck it."
