"liberal" society does not police speech Cannoli Send a noteboard - 19/08/2018 03:31:54 AM

Classical liberalism fully supports the right to criticize and demean persons and concepts. Otherwise what is the point. Claiming that freedom of speech, a bedrock civil right of liberal societies, does not apply to negative speech invalidates the whole point.

Say what? The Shrike - 16/08/2018 09:47:19 PM 648 Views

Says who? ßelals Girl - 19/08/2018 05:05:37 AM 674 Views
However much of a hypocrite moondog is, the article, I feel, represents something else Cannoli - 16/08/2018 05:51:59 AM 660 Views
Agreed that they went way too far by including everyday useage of the word, sucks. damookster - 16/08/2018 02:15:54 PM 633 Views
Phobia fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:55:05 PM 689 Views
You don't even understand oral sex? Cannoli - 17/08/2018 12:43:50 AM 649 Views
Get to a sex education class, won't you? Or at least, use Google fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 05:29:25 AM 583 Views
I am a normal male person, who had conversations with other male people. Cannoli - 17/08/2018 08:25:48 AM 639 Views
Yes, yes, you're so male, your penis has a penis. We get it. fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 04:13:09 PM 669 Views
Re: Yes, yes, you're so male, your penis has a penis. We get it. Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:23:10 AM 654 Views

Re: No Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:29:15 AM 699 Views
Cannoli is right: "sucks" implies the active party in oral sex Tom - 17/08/2018 03:04:40 AM 761 Views
That would be the "receptive partner" in scientific terminology fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 05:44:16 AM 624 Views
Fuck scientific terminology. It blows. Cannoli - 17/08/2018 08:26:16 AM 628 Views
Regarding phobia Jeordam - 17/08/2018 06:30:51 PM 690 Views
There's a pretty simple test, I think fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 08:02:31 PM 645 Views
Once again...who are you to make that determination. Jeordam - 17/08/2018 09:54:41 PM 616 Views
*I* don't make the determination, liberal society did. fionwe1987 - 18/08/2018 12:02:22 AM 641 Views
So for clarity damookster - 18/08/2018 01:28:17 AM 648 Views

"liberal" society does not police speech Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:31:54 AM 643 Views
You don't need to protect speech everyone agrees with. *NM* Hieshyn - 19/08/2018 06:02:17 PM 440 Views
It most certainly *does* police speech. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:01:32 PM 644 Views
But to follow up on that. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:16:07 PM 646 Views
Well, that's why we didn't stop with the FIRST Amendment *NM* Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:53 PM 317 Views
That's individuals policing speech, not society. Agregate individual action =/= collective action Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:23 PM 660 Views
I completely agree. LiterateDog - 21/08/2018 04:35:38 PM 647 Views
heh, heh, heh damookster - 21/08/2018 05:00:32 PM 614 Views
Hump it like you mean it! LiterateDog - 21/08/2018 07:00:01 PM 678 Views
Exactly. "Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons." Tom - 20/08/2018 08:54:03 PM 644 Views
I reiterate that I sometimes expect it from people who may be right of center/right. The Shrike - 16/08/2018 09:52:08 PM 682 Views
About the casual part fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:33:45 PM 607 Views
I don't think it's appropriate, but I think it's more about sexual shaming Tom - 16/08/2018 10:35:53 PM 692 Views
Precisely fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:59:42 PM 690 Views
You are absolutely correct damookster - 17/08/2018 02:43:21 AM 672 Views
I, for one, am glad to see this topic go flaming. aerocontrols - 17/08/2018 05:16:55 PM 726 Views
Yes, it is a tool used by those who should "know better". LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:14:30 PM 613 Views

Sigh I foresee 7 days of homosexual prison jokes in the near future in media adjacent places Roland00 - 22/08/2018 04:42:23 AM 599 Views
I think our casual acceptance of rape as part of prison is a major moral failure random thoughts - 22/08/2018 03:41:38 PM 611 Views
