I don’t understand why so may people here think that not being offended is more of a right then freedom of speech?
Alot of people here think that their “right” to not be offended trumps mine or anyone else right to their freedom of speech.
Things like this.

I think most people will agree that freedom of speech is the most important right their is.

Most people will also agree that a belief should only be respected once it has been justified.
go to this thread if you disagree and post a response plz.

The fact is, that alot of people here have the tolerance of a young child, when ridiculed.
They can not respond logically, so they make alternate accounts and add plex at the end of that accounts name or just call me names and make accusations thinking I will run away.
READ THIS CAREFULLY BECAUSE I DIDN’T SAY ALL PEOPLE, dont make that straw man argument.

So if you do believe that your right to not be offended is greater the freespeech, I would like to her you justifiy this.

Theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena.

Hey Gplex. Here’s an idea. Don’t be a jerkbag. Then no one will be mad at you.

Astroboy has the right to freedom of speech so he can tell you 're a jackass. Deal with it.

Okay, to people who hate GPlex.

Why?

All because he has strong views on religion means that you need to get a bitchy about it and call him a jackass or just be an overall douche bag? I find that wrong. Through all of GPlex’s posts I have not found one post where GPlex was being offensive. He merely was stating his ideas. Nothing more, nothing less. It GPlex was religious and was talking this way about atheism, I am sure many people would not find it offensive, when it means the same thing the other way.

Just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

You’ve never seen a post of him being offensive?
Maybe people don’t like him because he openly ridicules them because of their religious beliefs.

Basically everyone hates him because he doesn’t treat religion like some sacred thing we’re not supposed to talk about.

It’s a forum section on religion. Your supposed to debate and question it here. I mean since when are people ridiculed and hated for doing what the purpose of this section is for haha. Man there are some stupid people in this world.

What people really don’t like is their beliefs to be questioned. You can question other people’s beliefs without discriminating. Otherwise this section wouldn’t be here. People just aren’t open minded enough anymore.

Gplex makes fun of people who talk about his critisizing but then he complains about them complaining.

It’s not that he questions religion. It’s that he’s a jackass about it. He has a fist up his ass.

Ram created a topic questioning religion but he wasn’t a jackass about it and even admitted some of it may just be his opinion or views. I’m okay with that but Gplex is just a jackass.

You have a right to freedom of speech so as long as that freedom doesn’t infringe upon the freedom of another.

Sure freedom of speach is a right that is deserving of everyone, but just cause you have the right, it doesn’t make it the right thing to say.

That said, You have the right to say what you think and astro boy x has the same and equal right to take offence at what was said and say something in response.

Tact and sensebility are the key principles to the right of free speach.

Just remember, if you gonna talk shit, you gonna cop shit in return.

Simple really.

Mabye its because of his own religous reason. Just because the way he goes about it doesn’t mean he’s making fun of it
