Their is no such thing as free speech

[actsnoblemartin]

Because employers can fire you over it, people will verbally and/or physically attack you over it

you can be arrested over it

liberalism has killed any chance of a free exchange of ideas, let alone free speech

thanks liberals, now we have politically correct speech where i have to be my own speech writer, thinking 3-4 or more times before saying it, then maybe not saying it, and still getting in trouble if someone is offended

the word "free" is grossly misunderstood in this country. "free" does not mean "absolute." many say this is a "free" country. does that mean anarchy rules?

What exactly would you want to say that may have you fired by your employer?

[actsnoblemartin]

my ex-boss is a jerk or lay off


What exactly would you want to say that may have you fired by your employer?

[MtnBiker]

You want the US Constitution to protect you from calling your boss a jerk without reprimand?

[actsnoblemartin]

sure, why not? :laugh2:

You can call you boss a jerk all you want, but at your own risk. The consititution will let you do that but it does not protect you from a possible termination. Unless you are violent or threatening about calling him a jerk you will not go to jail for calling him a jerk, see how that works?

[actsnoblemartin]

yeah

So you were just misunderstanding the application of "freedom of speach"?

[actsnoblemartin]

yeah

[mrg666]

basicly you can say what you like but be prepared for any reprisals ,
the thing is nowadays so many years after the cold war not many folk really appreciate the freedom they have speach or otherwise
