No idea what you are talking about...Fire me and put me in jail! Free speech is free speech. I will never roll over for a better finically or comfortable way of life.Come on now...yelling fire is not what defines free speechYou can still yell fire in a crowded theater it’s free speech.. they don’t have to charge youYes, but it is only supposed to be limited when it harms the inherent rights of others, like yelling fire in a theater when there is no fire, or deliberate slander.
You don’t yell fire in a crowded theater
because people will be injured fleeing in a panic
And, as far as the post you were replying to
Free speech is not supposed to be limited
Inherent rights are a matter of opinion
Deliberate slander is just that...that is not free speech
Free speech means I have a right to my opinion
regardless of who it offends
Two weeks ago I walked into the breakroom
as political based exchanges were taking place
I listened before I threw in my two cents...my voice carries
As I continued to refute what was being said
put in my 2 cents about immigration and defended MAGA
I could see some of the Hispanic employees
off to the side, but not actually entering the breakroom
Then I hear...LYNN
I look and there is the ASM
~I know you don’t work for xxxx xxxxx
but the policy is political discussion is off limits...
No politics at work~
So, I said...um, why are you singling me out?
~Because the others know~
Um, obviously not since there were
(as I’m pointing)1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of us involved
and they all work for the company
Then, he tilts his head and gives me a look
you know the look...don’t start let it go...then I knew
Oh, now I get it...I’ve offended somebody haven’t I
He shakes his head yes
So, I place my clenched hands in front of my eyes
and in a baby voice, as if I’m crying....
Waa, waa, I’m offended...I’m a snowflake, I’m melting
waa, waa, my ears hurt...make it stop, I'm melting
Then I tell him, well I’m offended that I have to zip it
just because someone doesn’t agree with me
Didn't you admit - unbidden - that you are afraid to speak your mind to your coworkers? Didn't you post shit here about the Irish on St. Paddy's Day and cower indoors while an entire parade of Irish-Americans (not to mention Conor McGregor) was literally marching past just outside your door? Hiding behind the sofa in silence is rolling over.
Oh yes you do, hypocrite.
