Exactly what constitutes free speach?

[Carp]

And, just because you have the right to say it, do I have to listen?

And saying "I can't tell you what free speach is, but I know it when I hear it" is a cop out.

The underlying question, which I hope someone will explain to me, is just exactly how does requiring that a poster be registered somehow infringe upon theiir free speach rights? (Ignoring the fact that since this is a privatly held board, you really have no speach rights here to begin with.)

w, cv. How can you even tell through your alcholoic haze? Or remember it long enough to get it to the keyboard? I'd tell you to go fuck yourself, but that would be nothing new to you.

Well, I'm sure you have one laying around in a drawer somewhere. Just remember to practive safe sex. Which in your case is remembering to wash it off the dildo before you use it.

You've answered your own question. Succinctly.

If you have a good lawyer and cash...

You could argue that the 1st Amendment applies to all citizens regardless of a public or private location.

Source: Congressional Record 434, 1789

Madison's version of the speech and press clauses, introduced in the House of Representatives on June 8, 1789, provided: ''The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.'' The special committee rewrote the language to some extent, adding other provisions from Madison's draft, to make it read: ''The freedom of speech and of the press, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common good, and to apply to the Government for redress of grievances, shall not be infringed.'' In this form it went to the Senate, which rewrote it to read: ''That Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common good, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.'' Subsequently, the religion clauses and these clauses were combined by the Senate. The final language was agreed upon in conference.

A new rule here should be, You can't practice Free Speech, If you can't spell Speech correctly.

Tight asshole.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gosh. Sorry I lack in the perfection department. From this point forward, I shall defer to you in all things, as you are certainly superior to me in all ways.

Your quote doesn't really speak to that assertion.

Aside from all that, Free Speech is something you are given, not something someone is required to give to you. In other words, it's not Laurel's job to provide a platform for you to speak freely. Just like it's not her responsbility to repeat things over a megaphone that you're whispering in her ear. Forcing her to provide free speech to you in this private setting would, in fact, be infringing upon her right to speek freely.

Actually, I do believe that speech can be spelled either way.


But I'm a dope, and am totally wrong here. Sorry.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

No. It's "speech" always. The way God intended.

Careful, Freya2, you are challenging SHe Who Must Always Be Correct. (And seems unafraid to let you know it, as well.) Oc course, as a "newbie", how dare I say such a thing.

No, you're Canadian. You have a certain confusion when it comes to number and type of vowel to use.

Yeah, I edited.


Ooops.

Seems to make the point that there are no free speech rights in a private location. Your employer may censor you at work to his or her hearts content. or insist that you take a drug test, whcih would be a clear violation of established privacy rights, but not if demanded by your employer.
