What has that got to do with the price of Fish?:confused:

Well some people think we talk too much about HBC and the ongoing creation that is Broadway, or the litter, or the sudden appearance of the planters, or the vandalised trees..............................

What do you mean?

I am asking the question- following the theme of the thread- Are there topics/issues/belief systems/actions that should not have access to the concept of 'free speech'?

I am intrigued to know why your knickers are in such a twist Less- Is it past your bedtime or something?

I was simply interested to know if people who firmly hold the belief that people should have a right to say anything apply any restrictions to this policy and if so where is that line drawn andf does that contradict the stance taken in the first place?

Free speech should be a prerequisite of a democratic society.

But then again so should diplomacy, and knowing when the hell to shut up.:D

That sounds quite threatening to me. Is it intended to intimidate and if so why?
Is that acceptable on this forum?
This is not a joke I genuinely feel intimidated by your comment.

That is, so long as what you type is worth the rest of us paying attention to, you have had your chance, you are obviously not worth spending time bringing to our standards, so go away and leave us to our world.

I would hate to go out of my way to insult you because so far you haven't said anything worth the criticism.
:pain30:

P.S. calm down or I'll get upset!:p

Do you talk like this in real life? you sound all posh lol for an accy lass.

I don't think we have freedom of speech and to be honest I wouldn't fight to be able to say whatever I wanted as it isn't fair most of the time.
