Everybody knows that anything you say to anybody ever is basically something that fully defines you as a person and should be held up against you at any point indefinitely. This is a weird position to take he was in the other topic arguing about how this is a violation of free speech basically he is the kind of guy that doesnt understand that freedom of speech is not the same as freedom from consequences First of all here I was clearly being sarcastic. Second of all I made a clear point to talk about "cultural free speech" yes, we can have legal free speech and still have any business say they can fire anybody at any time if you ever post something off-brand on facebook, but culturally that is bullshit, pragmatically that is bullshit. I'm not dumb on the explicit rules of legal free speech, I'm talking about free speech as a culturally accepted value and how lately people seem all too eager to not give a fuck about it, and those people get 0 sympathy from me when it inevitably comes to bite them in the ass. Anybody who will criticize somebody else for private conversations taken out of context is logically suggesting that it is fair to judge THEM by the worst thing they have ever said regardless of context. And that is just so painfully stupid. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif <cite>joe40001 posted [p:880486966] in Harvard Re...
