In regard to freedom of speech Freediver is a blathering hypocrite.

And how?

Kindly explain your personal slur upon Freediver's integrity.....if you can.

Are you an expert on hypocrisy?

Then again maybe you're just content to cower on the sidelines & then whimper out your flaccid epithets
without providing any substance to your empty http://i.imgur.com/p7HRYOB.png personal attack.

Freediver incriminates itself ...

So, now you've proven you know how to copy, paste, & quote, lets see if you know anything about independent thinking......now this is important.....interpret what it means, & how does it make him as you called him, a "blathering hypocrite"?

Or, are you just regurgitating someone else's words?

WetDreamX tries to conduct its wimpy version of the Spanish inquisition.

Your hero (or alter ego) Freediver demands unconditional freedom of speech for the French cartoonists but provides limited and conditional freedom of speech on its forum based on it's "whim".

I believe Freediver's conditional freedom of speech is based less on whim than on Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism.

I would never have said that.

It is like being pregnant. You either are, or you are not. There are no degrees of pregnancy and if there is a freedom......that means unconditional, unrestricted, unlimited by whim or gun. It is either absolute or it is not a freedom.

So tell us Aussie, what does freedom of speech mean to you?

It's quite simple. It is what either Government (in the case of Forums, the owner) allows you to have, or what someone with a bigger gun let's you get away with.

So you have been attaching two very different meanings to it, and pretending it is the same thing? No wonder you are going round in circles.

Neither of these are true. This website is not a spring of freedom. You have serious issues if you think your freedom of speech in any way hinges on what one website will publish on your behalf.

But it changes depending on which website you are trying to post on? Isn't that like saying you definitely pregnant, or definitely not, but it depends on who is asking?

Perhaps you think you have no freedom of speech at all until you are free to post idiotic garbage on every website in existence?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
