Sacramento Radio Hosts Encourage Violence Against Transgender Children

 

I almost threw up when I read this.

 

I just... I think of the posts I made yesterday and I just want to laugh. Just laugh incredibly bitterly.

I'm actually gonna address freedom of speech and its abuse in my own post rather than here on red's page, partially in response to your points here and partiall because it's something I've been thinking about for quite some time now.

I DID want to address one thing though: If you look up the actual constitutional right to freedom of speech/assembly, it stresses that it is to be done PEACIBLY. Inciting violence, encouraging listeners to go out and beat their children, is not peacible in the least. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, that IS a violation of the amendment, which DOES technically make it open for government to step in since it goes against the founding principles of our country.

I definitely do NOT think the government should step in every time there's discord between differing factions. You have the right to protest outside of an abortion clinic and you have the right to debate/argue heatedly about same sex marriages. But when you cross the line and try to stir up acts of violence and promote ideas that are harmful to the populace... then you need to be shut down.

YOU!

I had this really awesome, long response to your comment on here and... I hit the wrong button and lost it all! *wails*

I'm too ticked off at my stupid, stubby fingers to retype it so I'll just say "WORD!" and call it a day.

I have done that as well.

It's like, fuck it, I'm not retyping all that.

*nods* It's exactly like that. And it pisses me off that I did it.

Yes, I agree completely and one hundred percent about inciting violence. I'm pretty sure we're on the same page with this. I suppose free speech is just one of those MAJOR Hot Button issues with me. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion are the ones that are most likely to get my debating cap on.

And It's SUCH A Lovely Cap, Too!

It's all good! Everyone's got their Red Button and I just happened to be pushing yours a little. And ANY time you wanna debate or disagree with me, please don't hold back. I LOVE a good debate, especially when it's with someone I have mad respect for.
