Now, as far as the speech goes... You know, Adolf Hitler primarily employed speeches which set off, and encouraged masses of people, citizens, party members, para-military, and military to use violence against Jews, Gypsies, Communists, Mentally Disabled, and LGBT peoples. But hey, it was just words, so it's not like it matters, right? T'was only the "oppressive" minority, and they deserved it all... RIGHT?! The terms "Deviant", "Immoral", and "Un-natural" were all used by the Nazi Leadership to send over three million LGBT people to concentration camps. Oh, but their just words, harmless right? Because "words will never hurt me", correct?
The only person I have seen in this thread, and indeed on this forum, who has called Hitler's actions "right" is Beretta herself.
And yes, words alone won't hurt you. This is fact. Go cry about it if you disagree; it's a tough world out there.
1; I responded to a overt display of ignorance, intolerance, and unjustified bigotry directed towards the LGBT community. Ah, and I'm "whiny" because I called you out on your bigotry, and stood up for my own personal principles? Hey, Call me what you wish, but I refuse to cave in to the babble that your ilk spew out on a daily basis, yet run, and cower in fear behind the 1st amendment when your called out on it and start to take flak for it.
I have stayed in this thread. I haven't run for cover. And yes, I am protected by the First Amendment. If you don't like it, kindly get the hell out of America.
Yes, it is. Words on the internet can never fall under the definition of fighting words, because there is no possibility of the other person (you) being moved to violence. You don't even know where to find me. Sorry, but you're clearly out of your league when it comes to legal matters.
3; You know, "MERE WORDS" can be considered hate speech,
Only in the socialist countries of western Europe and in Canada. Thank God we still have the First Amendment here. Why don't you try to go find a U.S. statute that bans "hate speech," by itself. You won't find it, although you might cry yourself to sleep in the process.
I'd like to see a statute or case law that says that mere hurtful name-calling rises to the level of a terrorist threat. I'll be waiting.
, and may lead a person to believe imminent life threatening action is about to occur.
Ok, but that's not a reasonable belief, which is what the law demands. Reasonable adults can be called a name and not automatically assume they are about to be attacked. Sensitive little people like you, however...well, that is apparently a different story.
No, of course you wouldn't walk up to someone and use derogatory words against them while their carrying a sidearm for their protection. Most people with your staunch 'opinion', prefer defenseless targets.
I said I wouldn't do it anyway. However, I was merely pointing out that Beretta's story of having some guy get up in her face while she was armed is likely false (which she has not disputed).
I, however, will say what I think to anyone, at any place, at any time. That is not the same as being aggressive or threatening. However, it is predicated on the belief that average adults are reasonable and can handle disagreement or even insults to their own beliefs without throwing a temper tantrum. I now know never to have a real-life argument with you because you will most likely break down sobbing, throwing a tantrum on the floor, while flinging your feces about.
I'm done with this (anti)Social Lounge, I should have stayed in the Kentucky Sub-forum. More respect, and common sense than I've ever seen in this section.
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
