Zone1 Good morning from Europe

[Dogmaphobe]

Many of us living here do too.

As opposed to being shoved into some homogeneous ideal like the EU.

The EU is a charade.

Brussels is turning Islamic at an absolutely alarming rate.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Just to introduce myself. The site looks interesting.

Welcome from the Cat Herders (TM)!

Just step over the strays and don't lose the laser pointer we gave you.

Thank you for that. Being an ailurophile and having several felines sharing our home I know all about herding cats!

As far as I am aware it would be very difficult to arrest anyone for their thoughts.

Freedom of speech is a thorny issue and we all know that even the USA does not have completely unfettered and unlimited rights when it comes to saying/writing whatever the individual wishes.

Thoughts can be interpreted by what books you buy; what organizations you support; the "thumbs up" you give to certain posts on social media; etc. All without uttering a word. Some claim that AI is moving towards predictive analysis of a person's behavior based on habits and patterns. I don't doubt it, personally.

It is always of interest to see what some of our friends over the pond are thinking about their own situation as well as that of the wider world.

Note to Zincwarrior - this is how you do it. Don't pretend you're American and embarrass yourself over and over again.

Just be yourself.

I am not aware of anyone being arrested for their thoughts or what books they read. Some organisations are of course banned.

Freedom of speech is another issue.

Welcome.

Europeans know it's called Freedom of Expression.

May you enjoy the boards of variety, offered here. I find many of the members to be at the very least, entertaining and hope you will, too.

No we have them, those rights are sometimes ignored though...in contrast, the first he/she/they of france sued the peasantry and won, that type of case would have never seen the inside of a courtroom here, and our media is above the law here, as it should be.

I am not entirely sure what point you are making.

that it has been my experience that europeans do not understand what free speech really is.

Welcome to the forum from Europe too
Its no problem to say you are not American i said it too

 

[Mortimer]

Except the ones who find out someone is a foreigner and then attack them mercilessly. Or even the ones who pretend an American is a foreigner and does the same thing.

I think telling people where you're from, is a super bad idea. Also other person information is that same.

Its no problem to be a foreigner
Only if you are a very fragile thin skinned snowflake
Im transparent occassionaly someone said 'watch your wallet' but i laugh it off

 

[luiza]

'watch your wallet' but i laugh it off

Never worked
Always Scrounging .
Wallet only ever contains Benefit funds .

Idiots laugh at their own stupidity .

Well, you don't really talk politics.

I've seen foreigners get attack mercilessly and then leave, because they would present a point, and then get attacked for being a foreigner.

So many people, especially you typical MAGA idiot who has no argument, but only emotions, most of which are negative emotions. They look like they're going to lose another argument, they will say whatever to win. Just like Trump.

He attacks people all the time. Why? Because he's an idiot.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Do Americans?

Does anyone other than a few who have studied rights?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Do Americans?

no, which is why we are headed down the european path

Does anyone other than a few who have studied rights?

the ones that know the media is allowed to lie and deceive do, and the ones that know calling the elite names without fear of a lawsuit against the people they pretend to represent also understand it...there are other euro type patterns being introduced to get around freedom of speech laws, GOP did it for years, now we are doing it.
