Free speech outside boards

    people are forever harping on about free speech on boards but there is
    in fact i believe that there is a lot more free speech on here than there is in a lot of aspects of life

    i used to work for a fat bollox, he was a self inulgent and useless cunt yet whenever we were in meetings we all agreed that he was doing the right thing

    this fat fuck eventually ran the company into the ground and loads of peeps had to go on the dole for christmas

    when i'm stopped by the gardai at a check point i allways have to blow in the bag i always have to put up with their crap
    onec when i was lost i pulled in on my bike and asked a gardai for directions and he asked to seem my lisence and insurance did i use this precious free speechj right there , no i fucking didn't



    there is free speech on boards

    just there is nepotisim and a fear of *** as well

    but there is free speech

    to a popint far more lax than lost of other place real and virtual

    Have you been drinking?

    It's not that this place is more lax or anything like that. It's that this place is the internet, and on the internet you have a handle and an avatar to hide behind. Someone is not going to stab you in the face for telling them their girlfriend is junkie scum on the internet, but they might if you said it to them in person.

    There was nothing stopping you telling your boss he was wrong, you were just afraid of the consequences if you did. Ditto when stopped by the guards.

    You seem to want anarchy rather than free speech...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Where does free speech come into play when you're being asked for your license and insurance details?

    i pulled over to ask for directions
    based on my appearance and prefered mode of transport instead of giving me directions he decided to make me produce my documentation

    free speech would suggest that i could tell him that he was a bully and that his middl;e class culchie background made him feel that madmax was in fact real and that i was on my way to kill his family where in fact i'm a respectable and hard working youn g man who is feeling quite frustrated with his behaviour

    Exactly. I'm all for anarchy as long as it's controlled and carried out under the supervision of a safety expert.

    And yet you gave out to someone for stiffing the Revenue out of a few quid by not paying the VAT on an internet purchase??? *scratches head*

    Course it is, it just means that you have the right to seek a legal resolution to the issue.

    Just cause you are guarenteed free speech does not mean that you will get it without a fight.

    I don't go to college, it would probably be against the rules to let me join.

    Maybe the anarachist society will find it in their hearts to bend the rules just this once and let you join.

    They will have to ask the president first.
