alright, drop the argument. I do have one last thing to say and then I will no longer repond. to Lil'ho...Everyone has a preconceived notion of what free speech is...... everyone. If they did not have this notion, there would be no notion of free speech. Thats what it is, everyone having there own Idea of what should and should not be allowed to be stated. How is this escaping you? You obviously have a notion of what free soeech is, and it apparently came to you before you wrote this message, so guess what, you haev a preconceived notion of what free speech is. I mean, why do you think this concept was put into our laws? It is a mediator, something to allow the government to stop some of the things said in the media, in public, whatever. When the government oversteps it bounds the system puts it in check. Soemtimes it fails, ususally it works. But whatever the circumstances, it pushes forward because people have these notions of what the first amendment should mean.

Oh, by the way, it is a long standing legal precedent that slander and libel are not protected under the first amendment. Think of this as you, predictably will, continue this line of criticsm.

That aside, personal insults, especially those thrown at signficant others are childish, petty, mean and a sign of a sloppy/immature mind. So, if you feel the need, keep trying to get your free speech on this site. Just make sure you avoid those "preconceived notions" that you hate so much.

It's nice for someone to learn just what free speech is all about, and to expose someone's prejudices that they have hidden from themselves for so long. Bully to you.

Author: Floppy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 08:46:31 04/02/01 Mon Oh, I thought the conversation was about fre speech in general. That's what I thought I was reading, about your views on free speech. Did I miss something? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
