College students don't deserve free speech

[john doe 101]

You're not an American.

Yeah what country is that clown from?

I'm sure you were told all sorts of things about safe spaces that weren't true, Wet Fart.

But that's exactly what they are talking about. They want the campus protests against Israel shut down, because it's upsetting the Jewish students.

When the lefties get violent, they should be shut down. And they do get violent. Seeing TRUMP!'s name on a sidewalk harms no one.

Freedom of speech sounds great, but IRL it's not absolute. FIRE! in the theater, was our first clue.
There must be degrees, that are acceptable to the populace. Free speech and censorship arguments got a little worse with the social media platforms. Are AI fake videos free speech? To me, they are. Art for art's sake.

I say and do whatever I want to, knowing that I might have to back that up. My country 'tis of thee. Sweet land of free speech.

edit: college students get it too.

Do you distinguish between country and government?

Do you distinguish between country and government?

Good question, and yes, I certainly do.

Texas has always been a slack-jawed red neck paradise where free speech is allowed only for those in power.

Yes it's a wonderful place to live.

Good question, and yes, I certainly do.

Why is our government so insistent upon violating the First Amendment by way of censorship?

 

[d0gbreath]

Why is our government so insistent upon violating the First Amendment by way of censorship?

I have no idea. Could it be because they can?

 

[PeterPilot]

I have no idea. Could it be because they can?

Probably so, because they can and because the courts refuse to stop the behavior, demonstrating that the courts in this country are just as corrupt as the executive and legislative branches. Whatever the exact motivation, the government happily and incessantly violates the Supreme Law Of The Land. Our "elected officials" in both branches happily violate their oath of office.

Ain't it great to live here in the land of the free and home of the brave?

Governors like Abbot are right to crack down on this. College students have abused free speech for decades. If only elected officials had done this during the Vietnam War, we might have actually won.

---After Abbott's order, protests, here’s what college free speech policies in Texas look like---

Lenny this is truly your finest hour. I choked when I read it and now tea is running out of my nose.

It's been that way for as long as I can remember. US government corruption is not new.

No, it's not new, but it sure is more apparent and widespread than it ever was.

As for Abbot's executive order denouncing antisemitism, it makes sense. As for Vietnam, it wasn't free speech that cost U.S. victory. LBJ should have never turn our involvement over to the military just a few months after gaining victory as the peace candidate.

So you're OK with Abbott denying First Amendment rights?

Ahh, hot brown water.

College students don't deserve free speech​

College students absolutely deserve free speech.

What they don't deserve is to be listened to.

Who decides what speech isn't free?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Ahh, hot brown water.

God bless you sir. You cheer us all up.

College students should devote most of their time to shagging and drinking. That is what my generation did.
