Freedom Of Speech

Post by Rob »

You have absolutely no freedom of speech rights on the this forum. First, freedom of speech is an american concept and simply does not apply to most of the countries in the world. Therefore it cannot be applied to the internet in general, as there is no guarantee that the server you are currently inhabiting is in the United States as opposed to Zimbabwe.

Second, freedom of speech only applies to public things. You have the right to go to a courthouse and protest something. The courthouse is government-owned, and a public facility. You do not have the right to go to somebody's house and protest their existence. Their land is privately owned, and they can have your ass tossed in jail for trespassing. The NS forum is hosted on a private server - not a US government owned public server. That means that any actions taken against your free speech are completely justified, as you have no rights.

If you have been on the internet for more than a couple days and haven't realized this yet, then you are either very lucky or very stupid. Many people are idiots. This is an undeniable fact. If you let the idiots take over, they will. Personally, I prefer having rules and enforcement of the rules, because it means I don't have to deal with the idiots. (Hint: I think you are an idiot)

WHOOPS :p

Didn't edit this enough.

It was a post I made on a reform forum in another community. I took out most of the parts except that lil bugger slipped past me.

Sorry bout that.

The person in question is named scooter_blue if it means anything to you. If not then there is nothing to see here.

It was Jim Jansen (aka unemployed) and either Splint deleted it or Jim did when I outed him saying who it was.

Pity too I really wanted to see what became of it. I was having fun :(

YOU TOOK MY FUCKING FUN AWAY AND WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID IT THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY AKA YOUR STOMACH ON THE FLOOR AND ME EATING IT!

Well ladeda the culprit has been found and his stomach will be spared this time!

But be warned your gizzard is up for grabs!

IT WAS ME. I think it was pretty damn obvious that it didn't belong on the forum. Rob knows it was Jim who made the post and I'm sure there will be plenty of trash in the coming days and weeks.
