Free Speech
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
People think that this amendment allows them to say anything they want, whenever they want and wherever they want. That is not correct. It only prohibits the government from restricting your right to free speech.
Owners of websites do and can legally prohibit the use of free speech when they feel it violates their TOS. Members of some of these sites are also given the right by the owners to prohibit speech that offends them or for any purpose they choose.
Thank you!
Ouch!!! Truth be known, I’m glad you cleared this up for me.
thats becuase websites are owned by private parties who actually these rules you agreed to when you signed up.
Yes but some members who sign up to that agreement will backtrack on that agreement once they violate the terms of that agreement and claim that it is they who are being singled out because of their social or political affiliations.
However it is important to note that not all members agree with the members in violation views….
Me and Kitteh all we smell is Fail…..gawd that smells terrible….lol
D.
I might get bashed for what I am about to say, but I think people should be able to say whatever they want on here. If someone bashes or name calls someone, so what? As long as first and last names and RL personal information isn’t posted, seriously who cares what someone says about someone else?
And what offends one person might not offend another. So I say grow some and deal with it or ignore it..whatever.
You seem to be trying to push the envelop. You seem to be taking the blog personally.
Not a pass or fail issue. Just facts.
