Pretty sure my forehead is normal sized... :S

The extra size may just be so your brain will fit in.

It used to be bigger

No it ain't! You could show a feature film on that sucker!

Evie makes a good point though. It may just be so huge in order to contain that massive brain o' yourn.

Till you're arrested by the government for anything said here, your free speech has not been limited.

[Edwardo Piet]

What?

I'm responding to Sae.

Free speech only refers to the fact that the government cannot impinge on your speech. Anyone who argues otherwise does not understand the First Amendment and Free Speech law.

I'm so sick of people on the internet complaining their free speech is impinged upon when all that really happened was rules are enforced, or people used their own free speech to call out their bull shit.

It's a pet peeve of mine.

It's so simple, and so many don't get it.

LOL Wut?

Funny, I was told the same thing by representitives of the State of Texas while they told me I could not offer opposing viewpoints nor enjoy the same religious freedom of expression as the God believers while on duty.

While my major malfuntion with the State was believers could wear their "Jesus Saves" T-shirts, display religious iconery where ever they pleased, even on State grounds, pray while on duty (this was actually encouraged) I could do nothing in opposition and was ordered BY REPRESENTITIVES OF THE STATE OF TEXAS not to.

That line was one that they used against me, "(Un)Till you're arrested by the government for anything (you) said (or do) here, your free speech has not been limited."

Unfortunatly responding like this;

got me nowhere. Funny how doctors and the highly educated get all bent outta shape when you point out the ignorance of something they say when you get their emotional panties in a twist.

Did you think about that statement before you posted it Eilo? Is that the indicator of free speech being limited? The government has to arrest you? The government did not arrest me, yet my free speech was targeted, limited and squashed. If you were writting an article and your bosses came to you and said; "Eilo, you cannot write anything negative about the Republicans. We will accept and print positive articles from you but nothing negative. Also please write negative things about the Democrats. You are not allowed to write anything positive about them."

If you make mention of that pesky free-speech they follow up with "Till you're arrested by the government for anything said here, your free speech has not been limited."

Would you buy that? Would you accept that as a reasonable answer to the infringment?


This is a private forum. Privately owned and operated. The forums has the right to limit speech without fear of recourse. I agree with that. No cussing, no insults, no devil worshipping whatever.


I just felt the need to point out the idocracy of how you worded your response.

[Eilonnwy]

Dotard, your argument is one for discrimination in the workplace, not for free speech.

I obviously disagree with what they did. The Government coming to the wrong conclusion? Gosh, how unheard of!

Doesn't change what free speech is and how the laws regarding it should be applied.

[Dotard]

Was my free speech limited or was it not limited regardless of whether I was arrested or not?
