ORIGINAL: xbrand That's exactly what I said...If we cram down the throats of other peoples our values, hold their values in no regard... Some people made a cartoon. That's not exactly cramming values down their throats, is it? quote:
What makes us think we have the right to do that....the others have no say? Why would others have some say about what I can or can not say in public? After all, I'm not telling them to shut up, am I? They are just as free to voice their opinions (and many do so, without any inhibition, it seems). quote:
Free speech.....includes ridicule....right????????? No matter who or where or what......right?????? Irregardless to traditions, cultures, countries, religious sensibilities ????????? Indeed, and be glad it does all that. You understand that the nature of this site might be very offending to some, yes? quote:
The Kachina Doll is a revered image to Native American Tribes....some Company was making whiskey decanters of the Kachina. You can read, but you lack in comprehension. Good lord... ok. What if I declare that I'm a... moon, yes, a moon worshiper? And any disrespectful usage of the word "moon" is deeply offensive to me. Oh yes, in fact, any remark about the moon hurts my feelings. So, please, refrain from using the word "moon" from now on, ok? Thank you very much. Oh, and one more thing... if you don't comply, well, you have been warned; I can not be held responsible for the unfortunate consequences your blatant disrespect will have. I jest, of course. But I hope you'll see that you can't take everyone's strong belief into account. However, you can allow everyone a retort.
