@glitterbag,
Quote:I think you're confused about freedom of speech. You are not being silenced, you are free to express whatever you wish to express. The fact that your views are repulsive to others simply means they are also free to think for themselves and reject your antagonist buffoonery. You seem to take offense when others exercise their freedom of speech, that makes you a hypocrite. You are free to express yourself, you simply can't force others to like you. But, it's anonymous here. You will not lose your job, be forced out of or into a religious group, or suffer any other repercussion. I'm hard pressed to believe you are so delusional you actually expect that others can't recognize boorish, sophomoric, blowhard behaviour and then congratulate you for being something you're not.
Only you really know what your goal is. But if your goal is simply to put a stop to people enjoying themselves, well...I should pity you. But it's hard to pity an irritation. Your life must be so empty and bleak. That's how I see you, the consummate loser with a chip on your shoulder.
Now, here is the reality for you. When others get fed up with your whiny bullshit, they will place you on ignore. Your posts will still be there but some will opt out of your nonsense. So knock yourself out with your freedom of speech, and learn that freedom is a two way street. No one can force anyone to read your crap if they choose not to. I'm choosing my pursuit of happiness and I encourage all others to do the same.
I love what you wrote, because you have hit the point, I didn't come to these forums looking for people to like me, hated me or whatever.
I came to participate in forums and give opinions.
For example, for me is repugnant to see two men kissing in their mouths in public, to others will be indifferent, and for others will be even a pleasure.
Then, opinions are given. Mine seem to offend others, but other's opinions also offend me. But I don't attack the posters.
And this is the point here, that some posters attack the person of the opposite message instead of the thoughts of the another person. If you check the rules of these forums, there are lots of participants breaking the rules here because they attack the person instead of the messages.
I don't follow others throughout the topics in other to write things against their thoughts, their inclinations, their personalities, etc. I just choose what topic to open, read the thread and write my message. Simple.
So, I don't give a dime if my messages are ignored, replied, discussed, and so forth. Forums are made to give opinions, not so for everybody to be in a sole agreement.
I always knew that people must read both sides of an argument, and from here to have their own conclusions. This is the way I grew up, and for this reason I'm free to choose what part of an argument to take.
Sadly, others opt to write between themselves to become a group an attack a poster who is not in agreement with them... and situations like these can by observed and really causes laughs... their personal attacks on others are always truly well posted when they write their hatred in this thread about "bad jokes"... Lol.
