So you would put someone’s right to offend other people above the right of other people to be protected from being offended. Do you not think that allowing people to say whatever they want and then attacking anyone who disagrees with them stifles discourse?. You defend peoples right to free speech though what about defending the right to speak of people who disagree with them.

Both can speak. What is bad is silencing them. If people aren't silenced, you can learn so much about them like they are insensitive bores, racists, stupid and addled. By all means let them speak

Now see.. that offended this one... thing is.. it's really no biggy. I know I'm not a racist because I laugh at a joke or two.. specially if it's told be Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, or even Eddie Murphey. Bill Cosby is a hoot. Plus I got friends of all walks of life.

Yep.. I can be a bore too

I'm dumb... not stupid thank you.. <smiles>

grrr......... breaks out dictionary again for Addled... Gee thanks Mr Warren.. LOL

Edited to Add... Ellen Degeneres <spelling> Nathan Lane.... to name a few.. are they wrong.. when they tell gay jokes or straight jokes as well?

Goes back to dictionary again... mumbling at Mr Warren... <smiles>

• I believe in free speach even ifthat speach is directed against me.
  
• I will defend the right to speak freely.
  
• I believe that the freedom of speach brigs the responsibility of being accountable for what you have said.
  
• I believe that there is a time and place to make any statement what so ever.
  
• I believe that all things have their proper time and place.

I never tried to silence anyone. I do not know where that came from. I got no problems about anyone voicing their opinions. And yes.. it's nice if everyone... wants to even voice their opinions about me openly.. go for it. Because I know how to avoid the area where I know the offense is taking place. If it offends me. <smiles>

I very well may not be liked... but I like me... and not ashamed of it to the point I get offended when someone jokes about me. Even if they're meaning to be mean. Call me a fat ass.. i'm bound to come back with.. yep.. but it's a soft fat ass.

Learn to enjoy yourself... and stop worrying what others think... and finding every little thing offensive.

Well, the "see, you weren't silenced" sounds like you're speaking to a five-year old........"Now we can all draw our own conclusions about you" makes it seem like she's stuck out on a limb alone.........."Isn't that nice"..... sounds condescending.

Of course, I jumped the gun once on this thread, so as to not do so again, I'll say that all of the above is assumption, and the only one who knows what was intended is you *grins*.

The one thing true did that may have been incorrect was assuming your initial post was referring to her. I didn't see it as such.

I don’t agree that free speech makes people accountable for what they say, in many ways people use it as a defence and argument against being accountable for any of their viewpoints.

This is an interesting experiment in free speech. Reread my posts and see if you can see anywhere that I've said anything bad about you, yet you seem to feel I have. Now, what does that tell you?

Yes, but HOW soft is your soft fat ass, that's what this inquiring sissy wants to know? Does your soft fat ass like to be worshipped? Are you into queening? Now that's been known to silence this sissy [sm=moon.gif] ... well, for a little while at least! [;)]

Remember that most opinions are like assholes ... probe them a little and you'll find a butt load of shit! [sm=lol.gif]

Having your eyesight proven defective once, you continue to prove the point. I was not referring to her or anyone. It was a general comment.
