No. Freedom of Speech is an inalienable right given to me by God, not the government. Go take a basic U.S. history class at your local community college and get back to me.

Freedom.of speech is not condoned in the bible in fact it carries some fairly severe penalties.

Freedom of speech is guareented by the very same goverment that you professed your hatred.[/quote] [quote]No. Freedom of Speech is an inalienable right given to me by God, not the government.

I did not state the above comment, my "opponent" did. I stated that it is not guaranteed to me by man, but by my right as a human. It is my responsibility to preserve that right as It is those without the ability to freely speak to take back what is theirs. If the United States government attempted to remove any freedom granted to me as a human being (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) they would have to remove it from my dead hands.

Libertarian?

My point, my ONLY point, AGAIN, is that freedom of speech is not guaranteed everywhere, and OBVIOUSLY you didn't say the first comment, I put that there for reference.... [quote]If the United States government attempted to remove any freedom granted to me as a human being (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) they would have to remove it from my dead hands.[/quote] That would be a task of no great feat, Also, that is the basis of what the U.S. Is founded upon, soooo fat chance (I know this was meant to be figurative but still) [spoiler]you're really good at circumventing [/spoiler]

Regardless, it is not the duty of government to bestow upon its citizens basic human freedoms. It is the people's responsibility to preserve their freedom. This is the point I made. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. You are right in saying freedom is not guaranteed. But it is your job to ensure that freedom if need be.

Move to North Korea or the Middle East and try freedom of speech lol

You clearly don't recognize the fact I was quoting a piece of American history.
-
I do, and that's what freedom of speech SHOULD BE, but isn't under all governments [spoiler]*yawn*[/spoiler]

Edited by Roronoa Zoro (Timelost): 4/26/2015 7:45:32 PMThen they're being persecuted against by their government, not denied by their government. Grow up. Because they don't have it doesn't mean their government hasn't given it to them, it means their government has taken it from them and it's their duty to take it back as they did in the American Revolution.
-
Uhh Bruh, you're missing the point... Using your own words in regards to freedom of speech "Government has taken it away" "government persecutes them".... Does OURS do this????? How does this counter my point? freedom of speech is not a given under some of governments [spoiler]and the American Revolution has absolutely nothing to do with discrediting our own government, as it was a revolt against the British not ourselves[/spoiler] [spoiler]grow up???[/spoiler]
-
Wasn't that due taxes? Didn't the founding fathers own slaves? Save the revolution was for freedom shit for people that cannot read.
-
Was this directed at me? Cause I have no idea what you're talking about
-
Probably not, it was directed to the person who was taking about the American Revolution being about freedom.

I can't even understand the point your trying to make. I stated that freedom of speech was a God given right. You countered that nations such as North Korea and area like the Middle East do not have this right. I stated it was the government stealing their right and persecuting them, not the fact that the government did not give them this right . The grow up was in regards to your childish "*yawn*". You brought up other nations before I did.
