"Support fosters your growth. If you are getting enough of the right support, you will experience a major transformation in yourself. You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay
Of course! Loves me some Randall!

If you want to see some real idiots practicing free speech, visit a page on facebook called American White History Month 2. It is filled with bigotry, racial intolerance, hatred... just people spewing ignorance like their lives depend on it.
I report posts to facebook daily. Facebook more often than not chooses to do nothing. I keep reporting them, anyway. I reported one poster who wrote something about skinning a Somalian person to prove that they're not human. Facebook claimed it didn't violate their community standards.
These people are most definitely NOT having their right to free speech stifled, no matter what they want to claim.

Nic, I would just end up putting my fist through my monitor. No amount of Jay Smooth videos could possibly soothe me enough after that!

It's a huge topic of conversation among many online atheists, and has been for a couple of years now (Elevatorgate, anyone?) I follow many blogs that ensure safe spaces in their comments section, and it's always amazing to see people howling when their comments are banned and/or they're blocked because they're being jerks. It's something you can see on so many sites - atheism, humanism, social justice, feminism, anti-misogyny...the list just goes on. And it's always surprising to me, even though it shouldn't be, that people still don't understand the whole free speech thing as it relates to private enterprises.

Curiosity, and obviously feel free to speak your piece and decline, what's your position?
