#1 Like somebody once told me, there's no amendment in the constitution that says you have the right to not be offended.

#3 Ptah,

I wasn't aware you had your own website. How about sharing the address? Thanks.

#4 tu - there isn't one yet.

Interesting article. I suggest everyone read it:

So, first you demonize speech refutative of your agenda by labeling it "offensive," which cultivates social codes and attendant social pressure facilitative of the change you desire. Then, as these social codes become more widely accepted and entrenched, expressing them through rules and laws becomes more acceptable. This leads to the next stage, the organizational expression of them - the speech codes in various private institutions. And once sufficiently inured to these, it's time for the last stage of this imprisoning of ideas: The legislative expression of these social codes known as hate speech laws.

Case in point: It becomes harder for traditionalists to argue against homosexual marriage if they're scorned and ostracized for saying homosexual behavior is sinful, destructive or disordered. It becomes harder still if those who do so are punished within the context of our schools and businesses. And it becomes impossible if the government arrests you for such expression.

Example: Heard on the news the other day that there was a fight between two people. It was being investigated as a hate crime simply on the basis that one of the people involved used the N-word (and yes the N-word user was white while the other was black).

#7 Isn't it funny how GLOBALISM, SOCIALISM, + STRATIFICATION/CANTONIZATION, etal. only applies to Amerika. Caring about the world = defeating andor deatroying the USA-West, NOT having to teach the world to feed and care for itself. THE SOCIALISTS LOVE SOCIALISM AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T AFFECTED BY IT.

#8 Spot on Joe, and I'd like to take this time (while I still have the 1st Amendment and Fred's blessing on his private property) to tell all those socialist countries that are willingly sleeping w/the enemy to go F*CK THEMSELVES IN THEIR STUPID *SSES. What you sew so shall you reap.
