//Why is everyone avoiding the current topic?//

Wow, really? You've never seen the Four Yorkshiremen? It's a comedy classic, ALTRAV. That's like not having seen Fawlty Towers. Here's the joke:

//Will somebody please say something about freedom of speech//

How about instead of re-hashing the theory for the zillionth time, we go straight to the practical by exercising our free speech to talk a load of old toot and not having what we should be talking about dictated to us by a twat?

//And when you do, please consider that PC is a major player in our being denied freedom of speech.//

OK, quick opinion poll: is it politically incorrect to call retards retards?

OK Toni, fine, you want to play. I get it. Your exercising your right to freedom of speech by not sticking to topic. Well then, how about those Yankees Eh?
I thought they did pretty well, but I'm not so sure now. Ah well, maybe next game.

//Toni, you lucky, lucky, bastard! Another teachers pet! Not only did we have our fingers chopped off, we had our toes chopped off as well. Then we were forced to recite The Lords Prayer backwards, and if you got it wrong you were kept in at play lunch, and didn't get your treat, that was getting to eat our own fingers and toes. Some people had all the fun.//

Paradise. When our teachers had had their fun making us draw in the blood with our toes, they used to send us down to the hardware store to get four candles.

//Well then, how about those Yankees Eh?

I dunno much about baseball, but who's on first?

That's right. Who's on first, What's on second, and I Don't Know is on third.

Freedom of ideas and expression has allowed us to object even rebel against the establishment by our judgment and opinion of irrational and inhumane behaviour. As a child we lived in a mostly Catholic settled area with a Catholic Church and school attached. There was no public school so my first day at school I received the cane for cutting my hand on the cross cut saw while sawing wood for the fire as I began school in mid winter. I believed this was totally unjust by the Nun. I stayed at that school till the end of the year before being sent to live with grandparent to attend Public School; much more civilized.
