the day i can break your arm with speech is the day it should be censored, and no sooner and even then i wouldn't support it

so baring any kind emergence of magic i don't see a single reason why speech, art or other forms of expression should be censored, either it's all ok or nothing is

You are on Sup Forums, your opinion is invalid

I am also on Sup Forums, my opinion of your opinion is invalid

Repeat for eternity

i guess that means all opinions are invalid, here and everywhere

Speech should never have any consequences except if a company doesn't want to employ someone who said what you said because it causes them negative business. Racist thoughts and speech are not a problem in the slightest. Racist ACTIONS are a problem. In terms of actions, no matter how we feel about someone or what we say about them, we should act as if we acknowledge their basic human rights and respect those. This applies to ANYONE except those who have already done actions to warrant the loss of those.

For example, suppose that a racist calls someone a nigger. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that because it's free speech. Now if the racist attacks someone that's obviously a problem. Now suppose someone calls a black person a nigger and the black person goes in a nigger rage. The blame is solely on the nigger.

Suppose a racist says hateful speech but does absolutely no actions. He has literally done nothing wrong, and anyone who takes away the racist's basic human rights through violent or harmful actions is a scumbag.

Only liberals are hypocrites.
We want free speech for everyone. Liberals only want free speech if it suppresses everyone else.

>Making death threats to the president is considered terrorism
>why are you defending terrorism
>if conservatives made a mockery of any liberal beheading they would be in jail/ murdered/ blasted across CNN retardation

Get a better country view. Obviously you live in a bubble and only watch CNN/ Buzzfeed.

Educate yourself. FFS does anyone look up facts or do they just get random thoughts in their head and decide thats todays reality?

Because conservatives believe the government has no right to regulate speech. Though just because you CAN say anything doesn't mean you SHOULD. The point of conservatism is that it's the responsibility of individuals to have the decency and ethics to not do crap like this.
The other point is, when someone DOES cross the line, it's the people that respond in support or protest (like they're doing now) without government intervention.

It's worth noting that direct or even implied threats against the President, VP, or pretty much any elected official is a violation of federal law too (if you threaten or encourage others to threaten). She's fucked.

>Trump God King Emperor

i agree with all but the first part, say for example an accountant moonlights as a standup comedian and tells a racist joke, he shouldn't lose his job, if however he tells this joke at work i could understand firing him over that

hate speech in the workplace causes a disruptive work environment and will lose the company money, outside of work your speech shouldn't effect work

Opinions are manufactured by your observations of your surroundings. What if your surroundings as a whole are manufactured too? Opinions are the new divider, and the powers at be are happy we're right where they want us.

he actively spoke out against liberal media, stop pidgeon holing people because they point out the flaws in your equally corrupt political party

inb4 libtard

I'm not a liberal/Democrat they are just as bad as conservatives and Republicans in a lot of the same ways

>Only liberals are hypocrites.
you must be 5 years old, because you weren't around to remember that conservatives were the OG anti-free-speech folks. it'd be even funnier to learn you're actually old enough to know the 80s and yet still live in denial of this ;)

everyone who is an ideologue (libs, cons, libertarians) has their inflection point, past which they become hypocrites. It just takes time to discover it, but it's there.

If he's telling a joke then everyone should acknowledge it's a joke. His intentions were a joke at either location he tells it. There was absolutely no hate in his speech in either location regardless of the words said.

If someone found hate in it when it clearly wasn't there, then the fault lies in the person who heard the speech, and the company should fire the person who gets butthurt instead of the person who clearly said a joke assuming that the situation can't be resolved peacefully without any hate.

Don't worry user, I'm going to balance things out by putting on an Obama mask on a dummy and hanging it in my front yard from a tree. No one would have gotten angry at me for that during the Obama administration because he could take a joke. You would have thought it was funny as hell right?
If not then I'm sorry I held a fake head of Donald trump, I'm sorry, I moved the line then I pushed the line I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Try burning a flag around a conservative and see if they allow that free speech

I don't see what the big deal with this is, honestly. It isn't a threat, so it is protected speech. It's just some irrelevant celebrity trying to be an edgelord.

Libertarians would believe in your right to leave the country to go live in a country without free speech.

>I'm going to balance things out by putting on an Obama mask on a dummy and hanging it in my front yard from a tree

you mean like Terry Jones did?
i couldn't care less. your argument is invalid.

I guess they are faggot. Now fock of because you opinion is invalid

The only way to not be called a piece of shit, is to not be a piece of shit.

You can't just continue to be a piece of shit like niggers, pussies, femnazis and muslims; and simply stomp your stupid lazy useless feet and hope to get laws against it.

Disgusting.

Yeah and we took him down, because he was a bigot, but I was just trying to be funny and make a political statement. That doesn't mean I'm out of touch with America. I am valid, I'm Kathy griffin and I am a d-list celebrity in Hollywood and we are in touch with American sensibilities.

Only a sith deals in absolutes - and brainlets who conflate orthodoxy with intelligence

Yeah, but this no-name bitch is a lefty cunt, so fucker her and her signalling.

...

I didn't know flag burning was speech. What do I say out of my mouth that magically causes a flag to spontaneously combust?

We dont complain that its terrible, we just think she's retarded

This is what that laugh hag looks like without 2 hours of preparation.

Vlom'kun Soros

Yeah I agree, I was showing how desperate for attention she was to the point she would drag her dried up ass out on camera in lingerie

Free speech isn't just words and you know it

>I didn't know flag burning was speech. What do I say out of my mouth that magically causes a flag to spontaneously combust?
speech is not the only thing that is protected by the first amendment. many forms of communication are:
supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/496/310/
>The Government concedes, as it must, that appellees' flag-burning constituted expressive conduct
expressive conduct
>It is true that this Act, unlike the Texas law, contains no explicit content-based limitation on the scope of prohibited conduct. Nevertheless, it is clear that the Government's asserted interest in protecting the "physical integrity" of a privately owned flag in order to preserve the flag's status as a symbol of the Nation and certain national ideals is related to the suppression, and concerned with the content, of free expression. The mere destruction or disfigurement of a symbol's physical manifestation does not diminish or otherwise affect the symbol itself. The Government's interest is implicated only when a person's treatment of the flag communicates a message to others that is inconsistent with the identified ideals.

I am yet to hear anyone call for her arrest.

Free speech lives.

Supposedly Barron saw this picture and thought it was real... makes me feel bad for him

expressive conduct. your feelings are not protected.
>During the 1984 Republican National Convention, respondent Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest the policies of the Reagan administration and some Dallas-based corporations.
>After a march through the city streets, Johnson burned an American flag while protesters chanted.
>No one was physically injured or threatened with injury, although several witnesses were seriously offended by the flag burning. Johnson was convicted of desecration of a venerated object in violation of a Texas statute, and a state court of appeals affirmed. However, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed, holding that the State, consistent with the First Amendment, could not punish Johnson for burning the flag in these circumstances.
>The court first found that Johnson's burning of the flag was expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. The court concluded that the State could not criminally sanction flag desecration in order to preserve the flag as a symbol of national unity.

As if opinions matter on the fucking internet.

Rolling Stone? Your source is a magizine dedicated to leftists globalist agendas, and the complete defamation of conservative celebrities.
You had one job.

>Your source is a magizine dedicated to leftists globalist agendas, and the complete defamation of conservative celebrities
buzzfeed is the cancer of the internet and I'm glad they got sued, but even cancerous rags can occasionally spit out valid stories... all it takes is evidence from other sources.
your dismissal is invalid; it's a variant of the ad-hominem fallacy.

It doesn't fucking matter what the source is if user was asking for the quote of what ted nuget said. The quote was the point, not the article's social commentary that follows it. You stupid bitch.

The point is the bitch held up a mock head of the president covered in blood, something that isis does. If you really want the left to be taken seriously and you want me to take your argument seriously, then you need to consider that Kathy Griffin has done more damage to the image of liberals in general than anything that conservative could possibly concoct.Kathy Griffin has confirmed the fears the common person has about far left wing nuts like antifa by exposing their latent violent desires.
As for your pic, nice projection friendo >:^)

When did republicunts get so sensitive. Who cares?

This is irritating only because there are so many much more important things to care about and the media is gonna eat this shit up for days.

When did libtards get so sensitive? Who cares about 32 gender identities.
Who cares about depictions of Obama represented as a knuckle dragging ape?
Who cares about effigies of Obama being burned, I guess liberals just sorta let that go by unnoticed and didn't say anything about it.

Free speech is great except when it's something I don't like.

What's so hard to understand about that?

>Kathy Griffin has confirmed the fears the common person has about far left wing nuts like antifa by exposing their latent violent desires.
except nowhere in American history have liberals ever compared in sheer violence and oppression to conservatives. ever.
I imagine you're either very young, or willfully ignorant of the violence of the 60s, or the 50s, or the murders during the turn of the century committed by conservatives. I'm no friend to liberals, but when I see some antifa faggot, I laugh at the level of pussy... millenials have grips like girls of the 80s!

.
but humorously, the point of this thread was how each side is HYPOCRITICAL ABOUT FREE SPEECH WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
By arguing that her idiocy constitutes a "THREAT", you sound no different from Anita Sarkeesian or Zoe Quinn when they claim they're genuinely afraid from Twitter eggs' "rape THREATS."
.
neither threats against those whores nor the shit the griffin skank did are threats. stupid, in poor taste? yes, but neither is a threat and your arguing they are is deliciously ironic.

disclaimer- I'm socially left leaning except for on some key issues like free speech and some various men's rights issues (financial abortion, education system being skewed heavily in women's favor etc). Not MRA, but I think some of their points make a lot of sense.

I think nothing should be censored except that which incites violence. Depending on the context of a slur it could fall under that category. People have been way too harsh on comedians and regular people who are just making jokes in recent times.

This Kathy Griffin photo really blurs the line because it was (((supposedly))) created as a joke. She is a comedian, and she apologized for it almost immediately.

But it doesn't read as a joke at all and reads mostly as a terrorist death threat towards the highest government office of the country in which she resides.

So i really don't know what to think of this. But given that she apologized for her completely tone deaf photo, i'm inclined to chalk this one up to this woman just being fucking stupid as shit. --I don't think she actually wants to murder the president

I love it.
Should be on billboards.

If you watch the TMZ behind the scenes of the photoshoot you'll see hpw she KNEW she would get skewered for the pic...

I actually thought it was funny, all press is good press. She would love to climb up on trumps cock so he could spray her old ass with god emperor cum. Its as close to god she will ever get.

She's a fucking Train wreck and CNN is using this to steamroll the Seth Rich investigations you tumblrina twat.

oh shit lol i never saw that.

...

CNN just dumped her from whatever the hell she was doing for them.

>There is absolutely nothing wrong with that because it's free speech
While i agree with general point of your post, i disagree with this particular point. As someone who was bullied i know how mere word can hurt.

Should hatespeech be punishable? No.
Does that mean its not wrong? I dont think so.

eat dick fagit jew

Perhaps she got paid a decent severance. It's not like she was really worth keeping around.

Spend less time on Sup Forums and your wife won't have to see Tyrone every day whole you're at work.

>Implying your slovenly ass has a job

I'd fuck her but only because I don't have a false sense of superiority to her and because I know what real women look like. Surprise faggots, they all look like shit without 4 pounds of foundation and makeup on their face. Melania looks like more of a man than Michelle without hers.

so this, especially the user part.

Are you mad my little nigger friend? Want some kool-aid or maybe some watermelon?

>beheadings are free speech
ah

a muslim, i see

Human governance is finicky because logical ethics are not coincidental to moralism. Logical ethics require absolutist adherence to central tenets no matter what. Think the train track experiment. You have to push a button that kills one man, or saves ten. Unless you have demonstrable evidence that the single man's life will inevitably lead to saving more than ten people, you MUST save the other ten, unless you can demonstrably prove that by saving the ten will result in MORE than 11 deaths. BUT by a moralist standpoint, you should do nothing, because in one instance you have blood on your hands no matter what, and the other you have plausible absolution. This is where political affiliation breaks down and why everyone has their "hypocrisy." Logical ethics require constant, active agency. Moralism, which most all of humanity abides by, requires passive action and plausible deniability, agnostic of volition. So, that's why. Humans are not robots yet, so we are subject to ethical failing because of individual morality.

>mfw the display of Trump hanging hillary at a gallows while she wears an orange jumpsuit is 30 minutes away

I really should just decapitate the trump mannequin and put his head in Hillarys hands, that shit would be hilarious.

1. Killing a thug and killing an innocent is two different things
2. Making guns illegal isn't going to stop Mohammed from making a bomb and blowing up an Arianna Grande concert

Ugh, it is annoying
>words/images can't hurt you snowflake
omg this is illegal!
(although, can you imagine if someone did this to Obama? How racist etc it would be?)

I can't stand that woman. I think it's cuz of that old episode of Seinfeld. She was mean to Jerry

As a Trump supporter I can confirm that I am not in favor of free speech, nor was I ever. All speech for degeneracy against the God emperor should be punishable by death by impalement and we should be ruled by a strong fascist leader. Sup Forums should be eradicated.
Stop putting words in my mouth.

you are clearly very fucking retarded.

>Triggered liberal detected.
ha ha ha! did I trigger you there? you seem quite mad ;)


>Spend less time on Sup Forums and your wife won't have to see Tyrone every day whole you're at work.

yes yes, the 8-year-old tactic of accusing someone you disagree with of cuckoldry. projection much?

>>Implying your slovenly ass has a job
never made such an implication and it has no bearing on the point that both sides are hypocrites, faggot.
but I do find it entertaining to see name calling and misrepresentations while COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT.
try again, maybe you can do like they do in kindergarten and keep repeating some name... I bet after 30 times it will stick ;)

>conparing Obamacare with a completely separate healthcare system
Weeeeeee

>I NEED GUNS TO KILL PEOPLE
Yeah. Bad people. People encroaching on our rights. Not innocent fucking babies.
Kill yourself you sordid fucking degenerate.

Top kek
How many EIGHT YEAR OLDS are telling you that Tyrone is dropping loads id your wife, faggot? Do you have something to tell us?

Lol the tragedy of language is hilarious

Kathy Griffin has freedom of speech. The government did not censor her or retaliate against her. CNN fired her and that is their right, regardless of how much you hate them.

Stupid niggers don't realize that my rights end where yours begin. If you are spewing a bunch of bullshit then I am well within my rights to cut off any connection between you and me.

Kathy Griffin's rights were not violated. She is free to be a moron. Just like we all are. But, like all of us, she must face the social repercussions of her actions.

>Sees a thread about how liberals/conservatives are hypocrites
>Gets right back to conservative vs. liberal bs

Great going, cucks.

>How many EIGHT YEAR OLDS are telling you that Tyrone is dropping loads id your wife, faggot? Do you have something to tell us?

Every 8-year-old edgy faggot like you who spews vitriol fancying himself the next Christopher Hitchens, ignorant of the fact merely tossing around names doesn't an argument make.

Of course, this point is lost on 8-year-old summerfags since in your limited mind, name calling is a perfectly valid logical retort and it proves your point as well as a mathematical proof.

Don't get me wrong, I like calling names and don't decry the name calling, faggot, but the fact you present no valid argument nor do you ground your retorts in actual logical points leaves your efforts vacuous.

but as I said, faggots like you are just like the mentally ill: you are incapable of recognizing your own limited horizon and imagine the rest of us are as retarded as you, even when demonstrable points prove you to be the one without a single logical argument.

and when we finally ferret out your faggotry, you might actually rejoin with a pathetic excuse for an argument, only to parrot some faggoty talking point of your favorite ideologue...

but please, call me another name! I bet that will put me in my place!

nobody is arguing against her right to do this, but everyone agrees it's disgusting

Wow. You really are a faggot.

Free speech guarantees Kathy's right to depict Trumps head as art. It also guarantees everyone to call her out on it. Same deal that went down with Duck Dynasty. Were you defending them when they insulted gay people?

fpbp

>Great going, cucks.
nice misrepresentation of my point, retard.
my point was always the same: both sides are hypocrites when it comes to freedom of speech because both sides have this 'one little issue' where they will deny you free speech, and it's often in their opinion "dangerous!"
.
this hypocrisy is the point, and both sides are guilty of it. as a matter of fact, most humans have it, including libertarians. instead of hypocritically crying about it, my contention is that we enjoy our freedom to say shit, and defend the right of others to say shit, and treat as enemies, those (FROM ALL SIDES AND IDEOLOGIES) who would limit our speech.
.
and if you are going to limit it for fear of harm (yelling fire in a theater), the limit should be something ALL sides agree on, as this limits the chance freedoms are limited by ideology... and that's a pretty high bar to limiting freedom of speech.

She certainly has the right to free speech but free speech in the Constitution never came with the promise of being with out reprecussions. Only that it would be legal under the law. She has a right to do this but we all have a right so speak against it. The problem is SJWs think they are the only ones with a right to free speech and get angry when people disagree with them.

I don't think he misrepresented your point. I think he's reaffirming it, but you feel the need to sperg out.

did I trigger you that you had to respond twice to get my attention?
stay mad and keep calling me names, it makes my dick hard to predict your actions!

>it makes my dick hard

I know, I know, it's okay. I won't force you to use your brain. 8-year-olds like you must feel like your tactics are perfectly logical and not just random faggotry.
it is entertaining faggotry, tho.

>I like calling names and don't decry the name calling

You sure are some kind of myopic faggot.

>all while arguing for free speech

You dont get to hide behind free speech while holding a bloody head. I go do that shit right now, but with the head of Nancy Pelosi and I will be vanned within hours by the FBI.

>You sure are some kind of myopic faggot.

ha ha ha! what a fantastic rebuttal to a logical statement, you sure showed the rest of us that your mental acuities are worthy of recognition. We must offer you an award for your incisive wit, your calculated reason, and your persuasive points...
oh wait...
you're so predictable ;)
