It all boils down to PERSONAL resposibility. My message WAS caustic and bitting, but a personal attack has to be against a person. Doesn't it? I was critical of a type of person without pointing out anyone in particular. Can you launch a personal attack against an unnamed group? My post was also satrical. It was worded in such a way that no reasonable person could take it seriously. I could go on forever... but the bottom line is every post like the one that started this is about the same thing. Restricting what WE say because some one doesn't want to take the responsibility for THEIR action of looking at it. Morality, children, family values. These are buzzwords designed to make accepting the removal of our rights easier to swallow. To make the unreasonable seem the opposite. If they claim my violence and sex can desenitise them to make it acceptable, can they not also desenitise me my rights being violited? If they have a Right to protection from my opinion, shouldn't I also have a right to protection from theirs? Well, they have not changed a mans mind simply because they have silenced him. If theyve made their morality, children, and family values MY responsibility, why is it ME who has to do what they say? If they insist on placing the responsibilies for their choices on ME, I will fight with my last breath to make sure it THEM who gives up THEIR rights.
