O.K.
What other “rules” do you want to establish regulating free speech?
Perhaps we shoildn’t discuss the Civil War, because that offends some people.
Maybe we shouldn’t criticize Islam.
How about criticism of the current pope?
Maybe there should be a standing committee to identify subjects that are out of bounds because they may offend people.
Gratuitous glee at the death of anyone is classless. But if you want me to elucidate all the genuine reasons to feel very bitter about this man and his entire family, let me know.
The coverage of the Bushes will be extensive this weekend and I do not intend to watch any of it. But I would never think of stifling individuals right to
praise him as its THEIR free speech.
I think you have to be very careful when it comes to criticizing ANYONE’s free speech otherwise you wind up sounding like an Antifa thug. It’s what they believe.
Thank you..well put.
Why ONE DAY ??? Who decided THAT?
Next we,ll have monitoring of what is ACCEPTABLE to say.
Are we now following in the steps of Google?
What committee here will decide?
No thanks to Politburea deciding what I’m allowed to say and when...and don’t make YOUR opinion a Christian mandate.
I am not in favor of stifling free speech, but I do think that having certain lines that no one crosses, for reasons of civility, is a good thing. Should it be enforced by a government? Hell no! But thus is JimRob’s property, not yours, mine or the public square - so HE decides, not you or me.
I will say to you what I regularly say to my kids: Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean that you SHOULD. Knowing when to button one’s lip despite wanting to say something nasty it inappropriate is part of being an adult.
It’s not free speech. It’s called civility. It’s something we used to have in abundance here. You’ll have the rest of your life to criticize the man and his legacy. The fact that you can’t show decency for the deceased for 24 hours speaks volumes.
