    People can hate or love whatever that bit of paper is.

    But freedom of speech (the meaning of those words not some law) is not something most of the world likes.

    The principal meme is that the bottom text is incorrect. He is wrong.

    But he isn’t wrong people do hate freedom of speech.

      The meaning of those words is absolutely some law, whether natural or governmental, and depends entirely upon the context of the power structure involved.

      If you got slapped in your goofy ass face every time you said, well let me just pull up a real, actual quote from you:

      "Women do not want to help men but they expect help from them.

      That doesn’t make me miserable that’s just accepting the world the way it is and it’s a life lesson men tend to learn the hard way."

      If they slapped your extremely goofy, unserious face and called you a generalizing, pathetic, and small person, that wouldn’t be them hating free speech.

      Hell, they’d be exercising it! How wonderful!

      Now, if the government came to your door and impounded your 4 wheel drive incompetence with relationships, then you might have a victorious day in court.

        Freedom to assault and freedom of speech are two different things.

        I respect your right to say I got a goofy ass face and generalizing, pathetic, and small person. I’m truly happy you are able to do that. I just don’t think you disagreeing with me gives you the right to assault me.

        Obviously that thread was full of generalisations and that wasn’t a all women situation it was more about the everyday occurances of everday men. It was written like that for simplicity rather than needed to and “not all but a lot of” every 5 seconds. Still stand by the spirit if that point, which was the important thing.

        Uh yes actually if you physically strike a person when they say something you find “pathetic”, or any other adjective, you are in fact against free speech.

          No that’s excercising freedom expression. You are free from persecution from the government, not ostracization socially. Nazis should be punched, not protected. There’s no such thing as free speech for Nazis. Same thing in this case, you say bullshit, people are “free” to react how they will to it.
