Either You Have Free Speech or You Don't.

Well, what sparked your original post wasn't put across plainly was it? So it ended up being misleading and blew up in your face. You're a smart guy and I generally like your posts but you missed the mark here. And then you debated a point that no one else was aware that you were debating.

Its all part of my cunning plan.

What have weasels ever done to you that you're stooping so low as to be comparing them with HandJive? 🙄

This is my feeling, either we have free speech or we don't.

Perhaps the definition of 'speech' needs to be clarified, 'speech' refers to any form of communication, literal or otherwise. Hence, slogans, symbols, art, clothing, tattoos, hand gestures and internet avatars can be considered 'speech'.

You may find my expression of thoughts, concep ...[text shortened]... cases, be prepared to be proven wrong. Keep an open mind and don't be a sheep.

So... on a scale of speech being free? 🙄 How much is that cogent and analytical remark worth? 😉 Your two senses?

😕 Are you clinically, clanically or colonically realted to StarryWanCanOpener and his quest for Zappaphiles? 😕

Do you wake up in the mornings wearing brown shoes before you put on your make-up and fearing that weasels will rip your flesh?

that part made me think, isn't golden rule essentially the same as 'a tooth for tooth, an eye for eye'? the other speaks of love and kindness, and the other of revenge, but isn't the underlying principle still exactly the same?

No. The eye for an eye thing was a law for a judge to follow. It means that judgement was the be equal to the wrong done. Most people think it means that they have a divine right to get even. They never seem to care for the law of love that Jesus spoke of. ..... great star .... burning as it were a lamp .... and the name of the star is called Wormwood: .... .
