Free speech

[Thetan]

Why let this die? I will keep making these threads intill something is done.

I don't care if this does nothing, I don't want it to be forgotten, I want changes in the way people handle others opinions.

This still makes me laugh. I've posted it enough times before: Free speech is a fallacy, it doesn't exist. You have the right to say what you want, but with that comes the responsibility to use that right wisely and not to annoy/offend/insult people with it. When you ignore that responsibility, you lose the right and are punished accordingly.

As I said in another thread:


Maybe in your eyes, mate, but other peoples eyes it means something.

Also, agreed Thetan

Free speech DOES exist. However you have to be alone in a soundproof box.

In normal day-to-day terms everything has a consequence. For example racism is frowned up because its discrimination, e.t.c.

I speak my mind however it is tastefully done unless I am angry at which point all sense goes out of the window.


EDIT: Just reread the thread: If you don't like the way management deals with comments on the forum

1) Don't post,
2) Leave.

I think the management of this forum do a great job. Some decisions at times I will disagree with however they are human just like us and do make mistakes.

And most people must think the same or why would there be

Well, it should be valued, and respected no matter how negative it is. I know, alot of users are going to reply "JUST DROP IT!". But do you know what, I won't. I will "kick up a fuss", because recently somebody got banned for speaking his mind. The "habbox lovers" excuse was: He always posts negatively. But did he? No, he occasionally posted an opinion, that differed from everyone elses. Was it negative? You could say it was, Im sure I would be irritated too if somebody advertised their website a bit, saying theirs was better. But he never said habbox was bad, he has been trying to help it. I enjoyed having him on here, he posted alot of good stuff. What has this forum come to?

What do you class as free speech if I may ask?

Being able to give an opinion, say something that needs said, even criticize without being banned!

Well I don't know what habbox thinks is free speech, but I am quite sure it is the ability to give your opinion, without getting banned.

Free speech doesn't exist and never will any where. Name me a place where you can do anything you want and say anything you want without getting punished?

Habbox alows free speech upto a certain point just like any where else in the world.

Does that mean it is right? I see lots of others posting their opinions, yet the one they don't agree with gets banned? Is that right to you? If it honestly is, then I promise I will leave.
