Re: Freedom of Speech

The freedom of speech ends when it starts to get insulting.

Nowadays it seems people feel the need to blurr out everything they want without remembering the rules of decency.

Why should free speech end when it starts to get insulting? If a thing is true then that should be the only determining factor.

By restricting what is said or written in case of offending someone only succeeds in offending everybody.

Inspiring crime, that's one thing same as rabble rousing, but such things as hate speech?

No matter what legislation is introduced if someone hates a thing or ethnic group it won't have any effect other than driving it underground where it will fester.

Social engineering such as we now see on television, especially in the case of advertising where even puppets and cartoons have to have an unrepresentative percentage of obvious foreigners are simply WRONG.

I find not being able to call a spade a spade but instead "an hagrocultural hinstromint" offends my sense of decency.

Without sounding paranoid about all of this, I really do believe it's a conspiracy, LD.
There is some kind of 'interior power' that is made up of a secret government department, who are probably liaising with the BBC, who have dreamt up this new way of saying how we should be conforming publically.

It's a combination of brainwashed and headstrong students, internet 'trenders' and the new wave of do-gooders who are hell bent on everything being "new-PC" and anything old hat and/or practical common sense being thrown out. They are making way for this new type of "person".
I'm thinking we are now only one step away from total manipulation by a media-controlled government.

It all sucks and like it or not, it probably began in America.

I've been thinking this for a long time and it gets worse as time goes by. I;m surprised they haven't created remote controls for us little robots that we are fast becoming.

I remember an old man once saying 'I'm glad I'm on my way out and not on my way in' this was back in the 70s, can you imagine what that man would be saying now, I doubt he had much to moan about back then.

I don't think it sounds paranoid at all Floydy. There is definitely a plan in place to condition us all. Pretty soon, Britain will end up like the bar scene from Star Wars.
