1st world problems?
Quoting: Zer0Phi i suppose you could say that , but its the embodiment of the 1st amendment so by trying to stifle anothers opinions we are actually behaving in an unconstitutional manner It's because the art of conversation and discourse are dead. Now we just have a bunch of talking heads and parrots that repeat what they have heard. It's a tough one. No one wants to hear someone drone on about something they know is wrong, but they should have the right to. And we should also have the right to tell that person to shut the fuck up. It's only freedom of speech when people do their own thinking about what they are saying anyway. The internet and world wide connectedness changed the way that game is played. thats true to an extent i think . and the characteristics upon which a good discourse can be undertaken such as patience , sympathy , logical and rhetorical abilities , vocabulary , sense of humor , and above all a sense of decency are all being rapidly eroded . its getting so bad that violence may be the only way of resolving conflicts soon. the banning of and marginalizing inconvenient voices is not a good sign of where things are headed . Don't worry. I will defend to the death your right to say it. As long as there is still one of us left that will, there is still hope. ;)
