I think there's a big difference between free speech and nudity big guy. I'm a free speech absolutist. You should be able to put anything you want on the internet at least. Plus if you end up homeless because your boss fires you after a twitter mob attacks you isn't that worse than going to jail?

You can say anything you want on the internet. There is nothing stopping you from doing it. People use the n word all the time on this site with zero repercussions. (Other then their reputation I guess?)

Take Mastermustard03 comment, he used the n word....nothing happened other then I think he is an idiot. I have doubts he will be fired from his job for his comment here today. I do agree with you on twitter mobs. They are wrong but as an employer, if I learned you are consistently acting like asshat (considering context as well) and it started to affect my business yeah you would be canned. When an employee's personal life starts affecting my lively hood, they get fired.

My beef with this post is that it isn't about freedom in the USA its about peoples values. How you spun it to be about freedom is what makes it a shit post.

Excellent points in your responses here. I normally don't see challenges to yabbit's increadibly dumb, mean posts. This is why we need better posts at Saidit, to get more votes for those than for yabbit's stinking thinking.

But that oppression is not coming from the government, so why are you claiming it makes the country less free?
