    Wants free speech, doesn't want to be disagreed with. Classic.

    Which is as it should be. Those of us with the right opinion bear the responsibility of enlightening and correcting the rest of you.
    I think your problem @OP, is that you too often have the wrong opinion, and so it feels to you as though you are being shouted down. In truth, you are being helped to improve your views.

    I fully conced if these "better" opinions are supported by factual evidence such as medical ward experiments.

    What kind of a "free" country this is? Where you get shut down for stating your opinions. Pathetic. I guess the little sheeplets are happy shouting you down with illogical nonsense but they're right because they scream louder not because they use facts. It's stupid to call yourself a free country if you're going to put people in prison for saying the wrong thing or ban people in this forum. Just like gestapo would do if you've said something that you've disagreed with.
    I'm not posting this in feedback as this is a general attitude in this in this country and in the UK where a man was convicted for making his dog do a Nazi salute. You'll get mod warnings on any controversial thread to make sure you do not write a "wrong" opinion.
    There is no freedom of speech and democracy is an illusion to control sheep who think they have any power. I've noticed in this forum, members would shout you down with stupid, nonsensical posts and most seem to agree because they shout louder even though they have absolutely no evidence to back up their claims.
    Who needs logic when you can just shout someone down and believe in your own delusion without having to back it up with any evidence.
    Brainless "where you at?" and "what did you eat?" are the hottest topics obviously and when someone posts something different they get shouted down because they have a wrong or different opinion from someone else.

    You lost me at sheeplets.

    The Buddha sat on a rock and meditated. After 7 days and 7 nights the air began to speak. 'There's no free speech in this country' was it's prophecy.

    That is one of the stupidest things that I've read today. So if my friend shoots someone inside my house then I'm going to prison with him because it's happened in my house even though I had nothing to do with it?

    Was that my point? Is that what I've said? So you agree that you do not have any freedom of speech?

    You clearly have never understood what 'freedom of speech' means in the first place.

    Just checked our Constitution, there's no freedom of speech in there.

    Were you confused by the referendum we had recently on repealing the 8th amendment? Wondering why we wanted to get rid of a ban on cruel and unusual punishment?

    Should Hitler have moved to Italy instead of try changing his home country? Ridiculous logic.

    Why are we speaking English which is foreign? Why do we have democracy if its foreign since we are not allowed to use anything invented by other countries.
    Why do we import foreign food? Electronics from Japan and China? Why are we going international?

    They can. I think you underestimate the intelligence of sheep. Which is fair enough, most people do.

    It's not an accurate opinion though but most people blindly accept it.

    This has nothing to do with intelligence. It's about being herded and accept it.

    So you're a Nazi?

    Look, it's a nice morning, why don't you go for a walk down to the shop, get yourself a Yop, and calm down.

    It's too nice to be that worked up.

    Does the US not also have privately-owned websites which operate their own moderation policy?

    (I'll give you a hint: it does, and they do)

    Your opening post was about how you don't feel that Boards is allowing you your incorrect interpretation of a right under a foreign constitution. Why wouldn't I then ask what other foreign laws you would like to see on boards?
