You need me to prove to you that 9/11 was worse than swearing? Wtf are you smoking?
Nah I am just giving an exaggerated example because you can’t seem to understand a general statement
I understand just fine that you're deranged and equate free and peaceful expression with violence.
Not agreeing with your stupid take ≠ not understanding it.
Well there you go, showing your ignorance once again, me saying that I am drive a plane doesn’t make me violent, I was just saying that ‘freedom of expression’ should be freedom for expressing your opinions, not you making statements with giving zero facts and saying anyone who doesn’t agree with you is wrong, like I say there is no right and wrong in this argument, and I make it very clear, but you persist on trying to prove that I am the wrong one here, like I said above, give me facts and stats and maybe I’ll accept I was wrong
Fact: words are by definition a form of peaceful expression whether or not they're considered naughty at bible study. Some, including myself, would consider hate speech an exception to this rule, but swearing isn't hate speech.
Fact: terrorism is by definition a hostile and violent action and as such comparing the two even hypothetically is disingenuous at best.
That, I just said that I am gonna do it, I didn’t act on it, but I would still get in trouble
So what you're saying is that saying the word fuck is just as scary to you as threatening to commit terrorism? That's totally rational and fact-based! 🙄
