Ya know "shouting someone" down for saying bull**** is just as "free" speech as any idiot climbing on to his soap box to spew forth some nonsense.

You can say what ever you want but no one has to listen to you or allow you to be "heard".

If you throw out a bull**** opinion dont get pissed when some when calls you on it.

All "opinions" arent of equal value in "all" discussions.

The government in how it applies our laws and rights is obligated to protect your ability to physically speak but the Government and the rights it affords isnt there to ensure you get heard.

So if you step into the "public square" and climb to your soap and set out to lecture the rest us then be thick skinned enough and prepared to be "bashed in the mouth"; verbally ofcourse.

Do the same thing on private property dont get surprised  if you're told to stfu and get out. And if you choose not to leave then be prepared to get tossed.

I would expect that the players and owners would behave like the civilized people they claim to be.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

:D

I concur with Toad and Batdog.

It's also easier to sleep at night after you collapse one of their lungs when they resort to violence first. :)

So Funked, are you basically saying you'll quit unless HTC starts banning people who disagree with you?

For instance, I could be simplistically described as 'anti-war', although I'm no pacifist. Should HTC ban me?

War! Never been so much fun. War! Never been so much fun! Go to your brother, Kill him with your gun, Leave him lying in his uniform, Dying in the sun.

By enemies I mean terrorists and soldiers killing US troops and civilians.

I'd prolly allow Toads quiet admonition of the 'protestors'...

..after i'd stepped outside to get my louisville slugger outta the van to back him up.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Protesting the War is one thing....

Dissing American soldiers will bring me very near the brink.

OTOH.. idiotic sentiments will die much faster when spoken aloud. I think people with stupid points should be allowed to make them... Stupid will shine through.

I hate these kinds of discussions.

If it was on private property, the bartender could have made them leave. He did not, so he eather supported them, didn't care or was mute.where im from, if a bartender feels threatened. he can blow their heads off.:D  


PEASE SUCKS, WAR HELPS ECONOMIES AND PUTS MY DAD INTO A JOB since he is a fire support officer.:D :p

Is that the country you want, Funked?


"Only popular opinions are allowed."

Not true

"The united States of America does not care for any freedom of expression, only proscribed views are tolerated."

The USA is made of freedom of expression. But the cost of freedom is accepting the concequences of your actions. If you want to run for public office and use the argument that the general public is dumb, so they need a smart guy like you to lead them, you reap the consequences.
If you take advantage of your freedom of speech/expression to bash the president of the United States, and you happen to be an entertainment professional, and your audience happens to have different views than you do, then be prepared to accept the consequences. You are always free to say what you want in this country, but freedom of speech does not give you freedom to escape the freedoms that every other citizen in this country, of the world, is born with.
