Foxy, you make it so easy to be criticised. I found myself laughing at one point in your repertoire.
In your attempt to paint me in a negative way, you ironically did not think to read your rant.
If you did you would find most of it actually describes yourself and your followers.
I keep telling everyone, I don't care what others think about me, because one thing you pointed out, which I will humbly accept, was your glaring praise of me in your first paragraph.
You see you have a 'nice' persons demeanor, and that's a good thing. What you don't have is the ability to look at or consider the other side of a topic, because you don't want to be upset or disappointed.
I have a family member, who appears to be the same as yourself.
She shy's away from negative stories because it upsets her.
Her main contacts are her church group who keep her cocooned and free from the big bad world and all it's bad realities.
You doggedly push your agenda in the false belief that freedom of speech must in some way be kept within certain boundaries or limits. You fail to, or refuse to accept the very wording of this social interaction; FREEDOM of speech.
I can think of a plethora of names to call people like yourself, lacking awareness and having a very narrow view bordering on selfish, but I won't.
I will gladly accept your barrage of abuse because I know I am real and honest, and as such I am a much happier and grounded person than those in your camp.
Your description of me sits well with me because I know I am part of a normal, healthy, mature race known as humans.
My group are honest about their beliefs.
We do not try to twist things around to suite a few sick morons or maggots as you so remind me.
Again you're pushing the proverbial up hill.
Those of us who still have some convictions and pride will never allow these sick and twisted aliens and agenda.

ALTRAV,

I stand by my posting record on this forum.

May I suggest that you go back and re-read yours.
Especially the one dealing with General Campbell.
Your comments on that discussion says it all.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Dear Foxy,

I am with you on this topic.

Does it surprise you?

You know that I always advocate freedom, adamantly, uncompromisingly, but the freedom I am speaking about is the freedom from society, where everyone deserves to have their own little corner of the world where they can live their lives as they wish without being subjected to other people and their laws.

But if one chooses to live in society, then they must sacrifice some of their freedoms while staying in the public spaces of that society.

Which freedoms and how much must they sacrifice? This depends on and is completely up to the society in question. So long as one joined the society voluntarily, knowing what its ground-rules are, then they should not complain - one cannot have the cake and eat it too.

Nobody here proposes or warns about any plot to deny our free speech in the privacy of our own spaces. In our own homes we can say anything whatsoever to our family and friends and so it must remain. Outside however, it is reasonable to ask members of society to refrain from hurting others verbally. Don't like it? then stay at home!

Yuyutsu, you and others of like mind may expect that the comments are not to be offensive, but that is a moral issue, it has no bearing on freedom of speech.
As I have said many times, the thing we are engaging in is FREEDOM of SPEECH.
You and your clan (Foxy included) will not try to hijack these words to satisfy your own fears and failures.
You people want to dictate what someone says, especially if YOU don't like the content.
Again TOO F@CCKING BAD.
Jees, you lot are a danger to society, with your ignorant, arrogant stance.
I don't get why you can't see that telling the truth is the only language we should be encouraging and not lying so as you can save face and not be embarrassed or worse, run the risk of getting your heads kicked in.

That's it isn't it?

I just got it.

You people are basically chickenshit gutless and you want US to lie so as to keep you warm and fuzzy.
NO get a life and stop commenting on this topic if you have nothing real or tangible to offer.
Now I know your true reason behind this 'Be Nice, Be Respectful' crap you are pushing.
Having said that I will demand you check out another forum which will suite you all to a 'T'.
It's commentors and censors alike are amongst the biggest spineless soft cocks I have ever encountered.
Seriously, look it up it is without a doubt your kind of forum.

It's called QUORA.

More good news you won't have to tolerate my alleged indiscretions any more.

Dear Altrav,

Truth-telling is extremely important and indeed should be the only language to encourage, definitely not lying.

Should one find her/himself in a situation where telling a truth would hurt another, then one ought to remain silent, saying neither that truth nor a lie.

For example, it could be a bright day without a single cloud, but if you are in the company of someone who is dying of melanoma, you should not tell them "Hey, the sun is shining".

If your father is dying of melanoma in your own home, then no human law should ever be able to prevent you from telling him these cruel words - "the sun is shining", but when a stranger is dying in a public hospital, then yes, I would support such a law that stops you from telling them such stupid and cruel things.

You don't like it? Then don't enter public hospitals.
