Doesn't matter what opinion we might have, only Macons opinion matters in the long run, since this is HIS forum and he allows us all the fun and conversation we want.


Let's just drop it, okay?

NoNothing asked:
just curious steve,where is or what is piont 2,it seems to be missing?

From the article:
(2) Causing panic: The classic example of speech which is not protected by the First Amendment, because it causes panic,This is narrowly limited to situations in which a reasonable person would know that it was very likely that his or her speech would really cause harm to others.

while he "preached" a "fear" of everything, I couldn't see him causeing a panic...

it was not ment as a complete list of exceptions, just enough to show that as free as our speech is , we must also "gaurd" against abuse, and be responsible...

a few more "exceptions".
(6) Obscenity:

(7) Offense:, some theorists argue that speech which is merely offensive to others should be another exception to the First Amendment.

(8.) Establishment of Religion: Some speech is restricted because it constitutes the establishment of religion, which is itself prohibited by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

""However, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute -- neither for the creators of material nor their critics. It carries responsibilities and it may, therefore, be subject to restrictions in the name of safeguarding the rights of others."

Is this a dictatorship? :?

I my opinion and experiences NO.

No one here has forced me to hold an opinion or say anything I didn't want to. If I'm not mistaken a dictator holds all the power and here it's nothing like that. Macon is the leader of this site and yes I guess he "could be" a dictator, if he wanted to, but since I have been here steviec is the first person I can think of that has be exiled :lol: . So no it's not a dictatorship but it is a public forum that anyone can read and so at some point there has to be someone like Macon to watch over what gets said.

I can think of a few that would have been gone a long time ago if it were a dictatorship. :wink:

Fair enough ask someone like dis, kolanuraven or hiredmanswife about being against the majority. They are almost always against it but they are still here, mainly because they know how to act. I disagree with these three more often than not and we have had heated discussions at times but to my knowledge neither side went to the extremes that steviec did.

Sorry but the dictatorship thing still doesn't hold water. :wink:

I've also seen kolanuraven and hmw sit in the hot seat as it seemed all ganged up on them. Yes I do agree it is how people handle the situations.

It just seems kinda late to discuss what we all think about the ban when it was already done. Maybe clear cut rules need to be posted somewhere. In anger we all can say things we might regret later.

I will survive.... It's said " what don't kill ya will make ya stronger"...sure is true here on this site.

But , heck....so we disagree on politics BIG DEAL...by the next election we'll all switch sides anyway. The Minority will be the Majority and so forth......

But I think, besides politics, Bush & the war, I tend agree w/most ranchers/farmers here on the various topics involved in that lifestyle/career, as we have that in common to various degrees!

Maybe I'm wrong with that last statement...if so I'm confident that SOMEONE will correct me!!!!! :) :)

The only statement I might disagree with you on is the one about majority/miniority switching come the next election.

amen, that pretty much sums it up. i too am a vet. reading over this thread, seems to be more cowards than true Americans here. yes, i said cowards, thats just what some here are. wait till someone is banned and then speak bad and post stupid pictures and make fun of them, when one cannot defend ones self any longer. it's like hitting someone wearing glasses that was not even looking at you i.e. sucker punch. when one starts banning people for there political views on a political forum that asks for just that, without any apparent violation of terms, warnings etc, then the site looses all credibitly except to the click that is in power there, and then what will you have, just more of the same old BSe. just my opinion, i have been banned from a few sites for just that, and it was not just my opinion, they were facts no one wanted to see, but it was the truth, and the truth hurts sometimes. as far as the comment of 'soldiers being suckers', does not set well with me either, but it is no reason to ban someone, and if it is, then the protocol for posting should state this. ...
