" 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.

Vaughan was a vocal activist against the hazards of vaccines who founded California nonprofit Learn the Risk. On her Facebook page, she described herself as a “former pharmaceutical insider on a mission to create a healthier world one person at a time by educating on the real risks of pharma drugs and vaccines.”

When working in the pharma industry, Brandy sold Vioxx, a painkiller that was found to double the risk of stroke and heart attacks, according to her Learn the Risk bio.

The painkiller was eventually later taken off the market.

LOL - what interest have the police in reporting false information on cause of death.

Some may say very convinient.

BTW: Media said that Saddam had this and was doing this and that. Howard, Blair and Bush were saying the same. Were they telling it like it was?

Fake news and forgeries are nothing new. Police only report on information given them.

Same thing. Police can truthfully say they acted on information given by sources they believe to be credible. Same as Tony Blair.
