I don't want to stay around LPF much longer because of Nazi oppression like you!
Right. Because the Nazi party killed millions of people, and we're calling you an idiot for wanting to point lasers at cops. The similarty is chilling.
And live off a trust fund, so I'm lazy. I have all the time in the world to experiment with lasers. I WILL make much more counterproductive and unsafe ideas and post them on other websites just for you ;b
Uh... bully for you? That sure was the one-two punch. "Hey guys, I'm an entitled immoral a-hole, SO THERE!" You sure pwned us.
I can't wait till lasers are outlawed! Then only outlaws will have lasers!
By the summer of 2014, the Mexican Laser Gangs had invaded the southwestern US, causing painful burns to all who dared cross their borders. Even the forests were not safe, as these outlaws developed ingenious methods to hide lasers inside of otherwise benign items such as logs, blasting the unsuspecting traveler in the face, and leaving the rest of his companions dazed and confused, unable to find the source of the photonic volley.
and strive to have fun with lasers, in ways you don't approve!
Strive. Excel. Keep reaching for those stars. Or those outer position beacons on the 737-800 above, because with a laser in hand, there's only one way to spell "FUN" and thats "Physical assault with a directed beam of energy" - oh wait that's too many letters.
So I guess freedom of speech means nothing to some of you.
Okay, I know this thread is (thankfully) dying - but this is one of my "buttons":
"Freedom of speech" does NOT in ANY WAY mean that you can walk into a privately-owned area (meatspace OR INTERNET) and say whatever you want, and somehow have "immunity" to repercussions, criticism, sanction or redaction.
Saying something stupid and being ridiculed, banned, edited or having your posts removed, has
nothing to do with "freedom of speech". Not even a little.
Walking into your local Applebees and yelling "F*CK F*CK F*CK!" at the top of your lungs is
not protected speech. Private entities, such as an internet forum, when ejecting/quieting an individual are not engaging in "censorship". Censorship is a GOVERNMENT function, and "freedom of speech" protects people from
government penalties such as arrest or prosecution for their speech. In short, the only people who have to put up with your drivel are government bodies or agencies.
There is no law anywhere that says that a private person has to stand there, on their property (LPF is the property of Avery, and we are guests here) and 'take it', whether it be nonsense or simply a differing opinion. They are within their full rights to remove you and/or shut you up. In their house, in their store, in their office, on their forum, or while riding their magical pony ride. The US constitution, or any other country's charter or constitution which outlines "freedom of speech" does not protect you from begetting consequences for moronic speech in another person's venue, including in an internet forum.
I know this may not sit well with people, but the oft-bandied-about "what about freedom of speech?!" re-tort to being a re-tard might hold some water if LPF was a publically funded government body. It sure is not, so if you DO violate the rules, you have three options: change your behavior, sit down and shut up, or leave.
Go ahead and try and go to your local department store and start screaming profanities at the top of your lungs. Or, just go around and insult everyone in the store, without using any profanities at all. Then, when the police come, claim "freedom of speech". See how far that gets you.
Sorry about that. I had to vent. Soapbox off.
