Liberals don't get much right but one of the few things they had gotten right were on free speech and against censorship. Nothing you've been complaining about us attacking your free speech But yes, you and your right wing friends on here completely flip on certain issues when you don't like the results anymore. Everything was fine when trolls were going after liberals. Now the sides are flipped and it's so horrible we need to break up Facebook. Christ... And yes, there are liberals doing the exact same thing, flipping based on party and interest. But as much as you and others may wrongly believe, they're not on this board. The conservative version though? We have that in spades. This "break up Facebook" issue is just the latest example. I mean... More regulation comrade! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no ,no 😅 Actually Woody I wasn't any part of what you are talking about. My objection to censorship has nothing to do with that. In my younger days I was more of a censorship kind of guy. If there was an objectionable book in the library I would say get rid of it. I thought censoring of things objectionable on television was a good way to go. Later I learned a better way to censorship was self censorship. I just wouldn't take out the books in the library I thought were offensive. I just would turn the channel on television if there was something I found offensive. I learned to appreciate what the ACLU always preached: the answer to speech you find offensive is not shutting down speech you don't like or agree with but more speech (that is go out and speak up yourself for what you believe). It is better to counter offensive speech than to shut it down. That was a good principle the ACLU used to stand for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Living Translation Acts 19:19A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation and climate change theory books and burned them at a public bonfire. The value of the books was several million dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
