" 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.

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.

As you well know - depending on what you watch - who you listen to..........................

 

You will - and we do - get both sides - of every argument.

 

Not much gets by any of us - take a look - all the info - out there.

 

Who - to believe - well - history takes care of that.

Desperate - yes - when all is lost - yes - but ' cowardice '.

 

Geez.

A coward who ripped off hard working 'friends' for millions and in preference

 

to facing justice for her theft, she chose the cowards way out. 

 

I doubt there was any walking into water more like jumped from a cliff top.

Hey Freddie, long time no see. 

 

Has it been confirmed she committed suicide?

 

THere's even speculation that she chopped her own foot off to give the appearance she's dead.

Melissa Caddick - was a predator.

 

She manipulated - she cheated - she stole.

 

Rather than face - the disgrace - the punishment for her actions - she chose - her way..

 

Which - if you had any idea of your choice of words - she was not a ' coward '.

 

To choose such an ' out ' - took more courage than to face a jury of her peers.

 

For which she would have been found guilty.

It wasn't only the jury she would have had to face -  it was all the friends and family she had ripped of. And then there was that luxurious lifestyle gone forever, the public shame and opprobrium she faced and all those years in prison to look forward to. So, no, I don't think suicide was a particularly courageous option.

I think you are. Just not the one you try to vilify here that doesn't actually seem to exist. So what IS the name of YOUR clique? I'm guessing the trapezoid squad, lol!
