Freedom of speech means freedom for all to say what they want

in #politics7 years ago

Make sure to never forget what freedom of speech really means. Everyone has a voice to say what they want even if you disagree.

Too many people forget that, true freedom of speech has not censorship, no political correctness. If you don't like what is being said, change the channel.

Exactly which I feel sets a dangerous precedent. Just because someones words offend you does not give you the right to censor what they say.

Exactly, too much censorship in the guise of political correctness for fear of offending someone.

I agree. People need to realize that you can't let words control you to the point where you become thought police. That isn't true freedom. Sadly I feel like we are getting further and further away from that.

Too many people get too upset when something controversial is said. What ever happened to the saying "sticks, and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"?

This generation has gotten sort of off the rails I'm afraid. Now worry to much about words hurting.

Not just this generation, a number of people my age (born in the 70's) or older as well.

This is true. I just hope we can steer people away from this way of thinking.

Like lamb to the slaughter! Ha! That's exactly the pint nowadays! No guns, so free speech, no right to choose, no freedom! But you are quite vigilant for acknowledging these modern day woes! <_~

Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.

Yes. Need to change peoples hearts and minds. I think cyrptos will help change things as well.

Crypto it's going to make a whole shift into the way we use money. It's going to make to the economic system what the internet made to the comunications.

I completely agree. While just in its infancy now cryptos stand to change the world and how money in general works.

Exactly. I can't wait for that to happen. :D

hah hah thank you. ^_^

Just hope more people will remember that.
