  • No, you see, that's were you're wrong. People have forgotten that freedom of speech is a privelage and not a right. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to be an asshole. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to promote rape, racism, hate and child molestation. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to bully, harass and target individuals on this site. That's not freedom of speech, that's just wrong.

    • Rights are a privilege, in fact if you look up the word "privilege" you will probably find the word "right" in the definition.

      What is "racism"? The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics specific to that race that distinguish it as inferior or superior.

      Now with that definition being said I have an honest question for you. Take a look at European civilization and compare it with African civilization.

      Why do you think there are such vast differences between them?

      • Your definition of racism is wrong. Racism is discriminating someone of there race or culture, pure and simple. No one has the "right" to discriminate.

        • Again you just have a differing opinion on the actual application of how the definition is interpreted. I interpret it as my choice based on real world observations, you take the conclusions I come to as racism.

          You also interpret "racism" as a negative. I just view it as simple logic.

          • There is no such thing as an opinion on the definition of racism. Your opinion is wrong.

            • Websters definition of racism.

              1:a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

              2:racial prejudice or discrimination

              • Those definitions do not describe what N_O_P defined above as his interpretation.

    • No, that is exactly where you are wrong. I saw through this post immediately. There is no legally binding contract to set up an account here, and users are free to say what they wish.

      You just disagree with opinions outside of your own.

        • Who says it is wrong? You? Who says it is being an "asshole"? You? That's your opinion. It doesn't mean you get to censor my opinion. And yes you need to familiarize yourself with freedom of speech rights. If I am not putting anyone's life directly in danger i.e. yelling fire in a crowded theater, I have every right to say what I want.

          • You're a moron.

            You don't have a "right" to freedom of speech on a privately owned website. This website is not a government entity, it was created by an individual who can set forth whatever terms of service he wishes.

            Any moderator would be here to objectively enforce the terms of service, which can be anything the site owner wants. If he wants to ban anyone who uses the word orange, then he has the right to do so. You've violated the TOS of this website on multiple occasions, which is why you have been banned on multiple occasions.

            If you don't like it, go start your own website, you whingy twat.

            • Yes I do have "freedom of speech" here. Are you a first amendment litigator? I freely admit that I am not. Are you familiar with the ACLU?

              The ACLU believes in an uncensored Internet, a vast free-speech zone deserving at least as much First Amendment protection as that afforded to traditional media such as books, newspapers, and magazines.

              The ACLU has been at the forefront of protecting online freedom of expression in its myriad forms. We brought the first case in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared speech on the Internet equally worthy of the First Amendment’s historical protections.

              As long as I have not threatened or outright talked about such things as a terrorist act I am planning, i.e. the equivalency of yelling FIRE! in a crowded theater. I have every right to say what I feel regarding any topics that I care to comment on.

              You also used a couple terms that a reasonable person could consider offensive towards me and you are commenting from an account clearly created to harass an older gentlemen that frequents this site.

              • *rolls eyes at your absolute fucktardation*

                Let me elaborate, you nickel that even drunk homeless people won't pick up because it's laying on a pile of dog feces...

                The key letter in that fancy acronym there is A for 'murica, which means that you are discussing "rights" that are only applicable to a fraction of the internet population. When you're discussing the right to free speech on the internet, what you are referring to is the allowable content on an American based website...what is accessible and legally postable, but these freedoms obviously don't extend to the entire internet or what is accessible in other countries.

                This has nothing to do with the terms set by private website owners, it merely addresses the broad notion of censorship, and as America seems to value private enterprise over personal rights, I don't see your utter douchebaggery here as a protected right in any sense of the word. Simply put, your argument only holds water in a very limited context.

                It doesn't matter how you try to spin it, website owners are still entitled to set their own terms of service...fucking deal with it.

                Oh, and by the way, I haven't used that account to abuse the sailor in ages...

                And, as someone who's always crying more bitch tears than a hooker gagging on a smelly man's penis about how awful political correctness is, I figured you'd be less of a fucking pussy about a few insults...but of course, pussy is pussy.

              • I disagree. The ACLU is something different.

                The The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has been protecting Freedom of Speech on the internet.

                You must be that dirty Jewish rat, can't agree on everything but at lease we have the same skin color.

            • You immediately lost the argument when "You're a moron" was the first thing to come out of your trap. I love debating but sadly I didn't read the rest of your comment on general principal.

          • No, you don't have a "right" to say what you want. That "right" becomes invalid when you promote hate towards other people.
