Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

Free speech is under attack and people like goldfly are on the side that would like to see free speech annihilated, but free speech has never been in a better place than it is today. The access to speech is more accessible than it has ever been.

I don’t know about that. I think it was better 10-15 years ago. Now in the age of social media; people complain, whine and bitch that someone said something that made them mad and that person gets in trouble and companies are afraid of bad PR.

Just because it's not mainstream doesn't mean it's not out there and accessible. Plus I think as time goes on we'll see even better access.
 
Odd there hasnt been that much commentary on this. Could it be that there are those that want to control speech?
 
Does any of our lefty friends who assured us free speech is fine and we are all paranoid want to comment on the NYC banning?

We need more of this.

"But just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them. When I say, 'be kind to one another,' I don't only mean the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone."

We seriously need more people to accept that not everyone will agree with them, that it's okay for people to disagree, and that you can be friends with people you disagree with.
 
She can be friends with whoever she wants. I dont care. On the other hand, how can I be friends with someone who advocates violence against me. Advocates for my rights and liberty to be stripped and put in a cage? Millions of people have been sexually assaulted because of policies this man enthusiastically supports. Because they had a shiny badge and doesnt make the victim feel any better about it. In fact it's worse. Imagine being sexually assaulted because you smoke a joint and the perpetrator is considered a hero.



Beyond that if W was president of any other country he would be considered a war criminal.

this is a hell of a sentence.

your thoughts on NYC banning phrases?

Guessing you mean "illegal alien". The other phrases "banned" were racists phrases like "Go back where you came from." The words/phrase itself isn't banned. The words/phrase used in a harmful intent has been added to a list banned discriminatory behavior. But you already knew this. Seems like another sensationalist post by you. Shocker.
