It's still America.

A lot of the ideas that are expressed here at DU are considered filth by a lot of people......should we support banning this website as well?

Freedom of speech means freedom to be an idiot, so long as you're not inciting violence.

9. And Freedom of Speech is there
in order for people who object to obnoxious speech to use their reason and arguments to refute th eobnoxious speech.

People who have good reasoned arguments against speech they consider obnoxious use those arguments.

People who have no arguments simply try to silence the obnoxious speech.

In my view.

15. Freedom of speech
...comes at a price. It means we have to tolerate a lot of absolute rubbish in order that we, too, my speak freely.

After all, step outside your indignation and ask yourself what this twerp taught you about women. Then ask yourself what this twerp taught you about himself.

Doing this exercise is always enlightening.

22. From the dictionary...
"The feeling excited by that which is unworthy, base, or disgraceful; anger mingled with contempt, disgust, or abhorrence."

Yeah, I'd say your call to strike a website from the internet because of your disgust was fairly indignant.

28. Maybe I'm mistaken.......
but I don't see how he/she was calling to strike a website from the internet in their post.

It seemed to me that he/she was saying that those who can't defend their positions decide and say that what others' say must be taken from view.

I should have said that you should follow your own instruction with regard to how a scroll bar works.

Outinforce didn't say what you think he/she said, but Allwaysforward did.

44. This Is Most Certainy News To Me.
"pointing to the scientific studies that point to 'secondhand Rush' as a leading cause of diarrhea."

DO you have a link to these studies?

I aaks because the few studies I have seen (and, no, I have no links) indicate that "second hand Rush" is in fact a rather virulent form of diarrhea. In other words, "second hand Rush" is no a cause of diarrhea -- it is diarrhea.

Verbal diarrhea -- some of the worst kind.

What it can cause is mental constipation.

8. um...why?
Some kid prattling. He is free to do so, just as you and I are free to do so. You don't like what he says/or thinks? So his words should be "taken down"?

You cannot be serious. By the same reasoning, those who do not like our words could "write" to have DU taken down.

As if our country wasn't in enough goddamned trouble as it is without begging for more...

This kid is in college, and he can't even spell.

So much for female 'privilege'. He doesn't even deserve to be there.

It's far better for embarrassing, silly sites like this to stay up, where they can be mocked.

49. I just gotta say
It took me a couple of nanoseconds to figure out:

My brothers did not say anything at first. But after class when they saw why I changed seats. And found out what happened the night before led them to make some very hurtful accusations. Specifically that I was starting to be wiped.

Yes, in North American English, the "wh" sound has been abandoned in favour of the "w" sound, so heck, why not expect the spelling to conform eventually? But the general rule that a syllable with a short vowel and one final consonant doubles its consonant when a suffix is added still applies, as far as I know.

But hey, it's quite appropriate for someone to suspect that an ass has been wiped, no?

I don't tend to toe the US-style liberal line on speech, but even by my illiberal standards, this guy doesn't approach deserving of suppression. Hell, isn't there a good chance he's actually a parodist?

So hard to tell parody from reality in some cases ... how would one parody an illiterate pig/moron??

57. wait, wait, wait!
I just realized he might have meant "whipped" not "wiped"!

Oh, God. What an idiot.

My question, however, is WHY would one parody an illiterater pig/moron? (Unless, of course, he illegally inhabits the White House.)

59. we have a winner ;)

I have to decipher written stuff when I do what I do for a living, typos and phonetic spelling and missing verbs and run-on sentences and all (although I'd exaggerate if I said it came within 100 kilometres of this bad), so it just came natural to me to spin the wheels as I read it and determine what it was supposed to be. Yup. Whipped. But "wiped" just seemed so appropriate. ;)

13. These are narcissistic ramblings by a spoiled frat boy with..
too much time on his hands. He should take the Finite Math course so he can (eventually) figger out how to keep a checkbook.

As a college professor I have seen my share of similar children who have an inflated view of their true worth (sounds like a Bush, huh?). Real life issues will eventually seep into his life (such as graduation or sobriety) and he will have to actually get a job or, heaven forbid, manage his own trust fund.

Best Advice: Ignore this drivel.

18. this kind of stuff pisses me off too, Allways, but I agree with the
replies here. Let this moron flaunt his assininity so we can affirm that we're smarter than that. Its when they cover it up with phoney charm that they're more dangerous.
Better to use our energy to take some real action on things like the continued push by the fascists to reduce real living women to the position of subordinate to a fetus.:grr:

24. I think you are unclear on the concept.
People have always been free to say "nice" things. Freedom of speech means the freedom to say things that other people don't want said: "Ugly" things, "mean" things, "hurtful" things. If people are only free to say "nice" things then people aren't free.

43. Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.
Recipe for a stealth attack on DU:

Advertise an ugly sexist blog on a "politically correct" website, and wait for the wrighteous wrath of the bleeding hearts to pile on verbally. Then extract the "looniest" comments, paste them on FR and Lucianne, LGF, etc. and wait for the belly laughs to ensue. Voila!

Bravo for you guys for not falling for it.

55. OMG! What an offensive blog!
This guy is in a university and cannot spell correctly..violents (should be violence) and uses "do to the fact" instead of "DUE to the fact."

He wrote that since he's not a minority he will actually have to work should he get into law school. I thought earlier he said his daddy was successful and influential...won't daddy pay for school? I thought that's how it went in wealthy families, mom and dad pay for everything until the scion is ready to go out on his own (around 40 if most are like Bush).
