More free speech criminalized by the Left...

You know, I have to say it. And I mean it. You are truly delusional. First off, the title of the thread refers to "the Left", as a political movement made up of people who, among other things, like to use government power to silence people whom they don't agree with (In this case through crazy speech codes). Thankfully, in America, unlike in the UK, it doesn't yet represent "half of the country", which, by the way, would be approximately 140 million people. Where you got from my original post that I was attributing anything to 140 million, let alone 280 million Americans, only you, in your delusional state can fathom. Next time you have anything to add to a comment or post of mine, have someone double-check it for you first, so you don't make a fool out of yourself again. XXX -aLways.

You know, first off, I have to say it is in reality you who is delusional. The "left" is also a political movement which had absolutely nothing to do with this incident. This incident has to do with some police in one small country in the world. Are you saying you know the political affiliation of these police?

The fool, as usual...is you my friend for generalizing yet again unwarrantedly.

Why on earth would you think the "left" worldwide supports this kind of bull*****?

"One Small Country..." That's a good one. England. Yeah, just another Luxembourg there...only considered the #3 military power in the world (I would give China the #2 spot right now). Just another small country guys...nothing to see here...

From the article Legion cited (nice find BTW):

"Speech codes prohibit expression that could give offense on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, race or other 'historical disadvantage.' The codes are used primarily to protect women, minorities and gays from words or ideas that they might experience as insulting. The guidelines are often so vague as to prohibit the open discussion of issues like affirmative action or religious objections to homosexuality.

Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania offers an example. In April 2003, the university defined harassment as any "unwanted conduct which annoys, threatens, or alarms a person or group." "[E]very member of the community" was required to adopt the administration's guidelines not only in his or her behaviors but also "in their attitudes." In 2004, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania issued a preliminary injunction against the university's codes as unconstitutional and they were repealed."

Hey Steve this is right up your alley man!! More power to the PC Thought Police!! Freedom of speech for everyone (except the stupid conservative idiots who can't think for themselves anyway).

This country is going down the tubes I tell ya...

You know, ocassionally someone will make such a stupefyingly idiotic statement that mere words are insufficient to bring any enlightenment to the poor wretch. I wonder if you really "get out much". Have you been on any college campus in this country, or anywhere in Europe, anytime recently? anytime in your life? If you had, you'd realize that the "left" routinely implements so-called "hate speech" codes to muzzle anyone with any ideas they don't like, and you'd be incapable of making such a staggeringly ridiculous comment.

I don't think so. Remember me, I believe in inherent genetic, and behavior traits. It seemed to me you guys were the PC police then in saying that can't be, we are all equal.

And as I said before,
It would be a concern for all if she had been found guilty of a crime purely for the things written in the article. That would be PC BS. And then the title of this thread would be appropriate.

I'll go further, if the police had listended to the tape of the show and then gone to see here, that is unwarranted.

Interesting thread. The left resorts to name calling, ignoring any facts and the logical discusson of them. This is a common tactic used by people who can't think for themselves.

Now I predict a bunch of words calling me some kind of hate monger will be muttered, without basis in fact or logic.

I think I have fully discussed the salient points. Did you not read the posts?

Interesting, the entire premise of the thread (of the right) is to name call, ignore facts and logical discussion of them. Then, to continue, said "right" continues on with the name calling, at which time, the "left" (guess that's supposed to be me or something) uses the same exact words of the name calling in reverse, yet the "right" (in this case, you) completely ignored (or missed) the first time said "name calling" was used, as if you did, you'd realize it was not anyone on the "left" namecalling in this thread, it was those on the "right" namecalling, with those on the "left" returning said favor.

But you probably enjoy the "namecalling" as long as it's someone on the "right" directing said namecalling to someone on the "left"...so you apparently didn't even notice that your words above here are, in reality, describing said "right".....

I think she was saying that snowman was looking through a telescope (right becomes left, up becomes down) when he made the comments.

Do you know what you would see if you looked through a telescope that was powerful enough, and you looked long enough?
