" Freedom is the right to tell people what they don't want to hear. " George Orwell

Doe the Freedom of speech give us the right to offend? Do you support the freedom of speech, even if it may offend someone?

 

How do you deal with topics or speech you find offensive?

 

What's the difference between free speech and hate speech? Aren't they the same thing but you just find one that doesn't agree with your view?

 

”In order to think , you need to risk being offensive” Jordan B peterson. Do you agree with him?

 

NB: we're only talking about speech, not a call for violence/action.

 

Go.

Wrong - not anything - a health condition - which suggested ' no foul play '.

 

If you don't think forensics these days can't pick up anomalies - think again.

Sure, but what was the exact cause, from the list of possibilities She-el posted. Do you know?

For instance, do we know Melissa Craddock's cause of death?

Oh for heaven's sake - they are only just finding remains - given those remains - it will be more than likely - DROWNING.

And just to add - I think her name is Melissa Caddick. 

 

But let's not draw too fine a line - on FACT.

It's freedom of speech for the press, for instance, to tell us things they want us to hear, or not tell us things they don't want us to hear.

Re Melissa, thank you for the correction. So do we know the cause of her death?

Some of the worst offenders are malicious gossipers.

 

They tell you something hurtful that somebody else has said about you, but make it clear that they didn't say it. They stress they are not responsible, but tell you never-the-less. Then they cannot hide their enjoyment of your pain. Beware of the massage bearer.
