Is there really freedom of speech?

Question

After reading a post this morning I have come to realise that there is no freedom of speech on this site. You have one person collecting info and questions to report others. If nobody likes your answer or question it gets deleted. It is just like a school yard. Playing t*t for tat.

I don't agree with quite a few people but I just skip their questions or ignore there answers. The joy of being on the internet is that you don't have to "hear" them. You can just scroll down.

Everybody should have the right to say what they want providing they don't make threats on lives. If you disagree so what. Those who come back after violations are the best. They never give up and will fight for their right to speak freely. Even if you don't agree with them they at least have the balls to come back and not give up.

Answer 1

Very, very true.

If you want to test the idea, say something about homosexuality being abnormal... They seem to be the most virulent.

Answer 2

A pertinent point and well articulated, the same thoughts have troubled my mind in recent weeks, I would draw to your attention the self righteous and horrifically arrogant attitude of many of the so called liberal contributors to this forum, predominantly the ladies living in self induced exile in Bavaria (amongst others) who have formed deceitful and dishonest alliances with the forums ANC support base and confused African illiterates, we know of their vitriolic plans and their agenda to remove us from this forum and will not back down or be silenced by their hypocrisy or self righteous moral indignation and its related emotional outbursts.

The great tragedy in this matter is that they play their cards in a most untrustworthy and deceitful manner so as to make the just and honest seem unreasonable and vicious when in fact it is they who send atrocious and offensive emails behind the scenes, aggravate others with their hideous posts yet cry foul when counter attacked and openly confronted and it is they who have chosen to report all opinions and ideologies differing to their own narrow minded liberal dogma and then to howl under the pretense that they are being reported and victimised so as to draw attention away from their behaviour in this regard.

It matters not, they have had Alf deleted 27 times and myself 12 times, Y/A is not about points or a popularity contest to us (the more mature contributors to this forum, there are still a few) and they can report us until they go blue in the face and drop dead from exhaustion, we will not be defeated and the truth about South Africa, Africa and Africans will be spoken and hopefully heard.

Bull - don't you know you are not allowed to give such intelligent answers you are going to upset the apple-cart and we will have more threats from ladies who are going to:

1. Take a break

2. Spend more time in the Singles and Dating Section

3. Report us to the Yahoo Executives - give me a frikkin break

To Summarize:

Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

William Safire (1929 - )

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.

Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988)

A little learning is a dangerous thing but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.

Bob Edwards

Answer 4

It's all been said, Cat. This is indicative of the way the world has steadily begun moving over the last few decades. A dizzying slide down the slippery slope of depravity, cowardice, and liberalism. All of which are really one and the same thing.

Answer 5

Freedom of speech is a very strange thing. I can say exactly what I want when I am at home in Zimbabwe, and everybody agrees with me and says how intelligent I am, but when I say the same thing here, I get a lot of thumbs-downs, and have even been terminated several times. I do not understand why that should be, but it is probably the fault of the British.

Answer 6

Yes Cakes, i agree with you - this is suppose to be fun, and sometimes help full, and  no one is forcing anybody to answer any question, so skip the ones you don't like , it's easy and there is less hard feelings all around

Answer 7

Of course! There is rather Harbingers & Conspirators are here to make it worth not only theirs. Whilst naiveness falls short for you to exercise those principles. Bear in mind society continuation of daily changes has not only plastered that days when men and women open their gutters to INSTIGATE oppressive, segregation, rule & divide that continue to chastise it to a class.

Today we exercise it without drawing much emphasizes how it falls on the finest hour of another person platter to sound cohesion. As healthy as it convinces majority > you definitely exercising that freedom of speech.

Answer 8

It is more a condition of immaturity and 3rd World mentality but "NO" there is no freedom of expression on this thread or at best it is limited. The Furbees  and the Looney Left in particular hate being confronted with reality and the truth so when they get fed up of calling you a RACIST then they resort to the only method left to their infantile brain i.e. report your answer.It is another way of them burying their head in the sand and living in a surreal world.

Answer 9

Yes it is so childish , the first question i asked on here a few days ago , just introducing myself was deleted.

But i think it was yahoo and not reported as i got an e-mail saying "not a question or answer" - go figure.

Answer 10

Liberals are people who have never experienced an orgazm but act as if they have them all of the time while secretly deny their existence.

Answer 11

Not it appears, on YA SA.

I can not see the point of reporting anybody. And that includes BULLdozer.  

Let the S**t fly if it must and allow people to describe themselves completely, to the coreless part of their souls if they have to......they are mainly insulting themselves! But why report? As you say, if one can't face or fight the more aggressive people on the forum...ignore them...it takes less effort than reporting. Anybody that is part of our forum, that is reporting, is a coward and a traitor….and doing more damage to our forum than they imagine with such a petty act. And might I add that those people that think they are doing the rest of us a favour by reporting people like Alf and Bull....YOU are mightily mistaken!

For the record, if you do not like what somebody says…give them thumbs downnnnn!!!

(I do not gang up, I am a loner...I agree or disagree of my own accord and everything I say is carried on my shoulders alone. I do not need to collect data, my memory serves me fine and I do not need to be part of a group in order to make a decision or gather an opinion)

BULL: Your postings always sound so detrimental that I can not resist a grin. I have no vitriolic plans or hidden agenda to remove you from this forum….and have and will never report you. Your paranoia over what you call ‘deceitful and dishonest alliances’ is nonsense and you can exclude me from them....if they exist at all.

Answer 12

a person will always be a person some good some bad so in this site i think there is a lots of bad person

Answer 13

There is no freedom of speech anywhere!

This site just goes to show what SA (& Zim) is like in the real world (one big fnck up).

Cat it is worse than school yard play as kids can see past the differences in people and respect them. I am dreading what the next generation will be like after all is said and done

Answer 14

They are just a bunch LIBRANAZIS, they call it enlightenment, but it is really 'Four legs good, two legs bad.' baaa, baaa, baaaa, baaa.
