Yes, I know how freedom of speech works. Like I told UhOhSomeoneSaidIt, I think they took what the OP said far too literally. I'm just going to copy and paste my last comment them to clarify what I meant:
I did read the article, actually. I agree that people should make informed speech and that they should stick to their guns instead of deleting their initial tweets/messages. But Kara Brown doesn't exactly explain what her issue is with Madonna clarifying that she does not support Hamas after someone likely accused her…
Its still telling them to remain silent, ergo giving up their speech. I think you are taking what the OP said far too literally, rather than seeing the bigger issue with the overall message of the article.
She's talking about the title of this article telling celebrities to STFU, that's what.
Those who care enough to comment, apparently.
Huh? Not sure if you're being sarcastic...
I just pointblank ask the person why they would label a woman a slut but not a man for doing the exact same thing. They either claim that its 'different' which allows for a deeper discussion as to why they believe its different and how they justify it (it'll be a weak justification, trust me), or they claim that they…
What about that Maureen lady who keeps posting the exact same response to everyone about Mary and Jesus? Even if I repeat an argument with another commenter here on Jez, I either change up the wording or tell them myself that I copied and pasted my own comment. Its like Maureen thinks that no one can see her down…
No worries. Glad to end such a contentious debate on a respectful note :-).
I get respect and all, but I cannot understand how people can believe that God is this all mighty being, the great and powerful, and yet feel the need to jump to God's defense over any little thing. I'm agnostic, and if God exists, then I doubt he/she/it is some whiny little cry-baby that gets their feelings hurt and…
Oh okay, got it. I love discussing the subtle things that are sometimes missed by the viewer. Thanks for the insight :-).
Aidan really annoyed me too - he could act really sulky at times (just like that big baby Berger, although it was partly understandable with Aidan because of the cheating). And he and Carrie were just so mismatched, but I'm trying to remember where it was stated/implied that he was a neo-conservative. Also, aside from…
Many pro-choicers willingly and openly state their support for abortion rights in all circumstances, whether its because a woman was raped, her life is at risk, or she simply doesn't want to be pregnant. Its true that pregnancy resulting from rape and life-threatening pregnancies are often brought up when discussing…
You keep posting this question as though its some kind of clever 'gotcha' like when you asked why feminists won't vote for Sarah Palin if they believe in women's rights. You know exactly why, so quit acting so obtuse.
I love how instead of admitting that you were misinformed about the whole bank account thing, you just responded with a bunch of sarcastic comments in an attempt to be funny.

There's a really great Bill Maher joke/commentary about the state of American politics today and how the positions have shifted and been re-defined:
I know, right? The fact that he automatically assumes people would have a problem aborting Hitler fetus by killing his mother, rather than actually having a problem killing his mother goes to show that he views women as incubators. Its her life that's at stake in this scenario, but he automatically goes to the fetus.…
