    verneforchat got a reaction from AmandaBN in Major Snowflake meltdown in Berkeley   
    Considering alt right shot someone at UW, and multiple people have been doxxed by alt+right groups;  I think that honor still remains with the radical right.

    " The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, ensuring that there is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble, or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. "
     
    Since everyone seems to be missing the point.
     
    Freedom of speech is not freedom of repercussions. If you spew racist misogynist BS, you will find people protesting your views. Violence obviously is not the answer.

    This is necessary in any FDA approved trial. Sponsors have to agree medical bills of people participating in their trial who suffer from unexpected/unrevealed side effects.

    you're always talking about a slippery slope..but when i read you above all i see is you not agreeing with opinions different than yours. how is that a problem, i mean it's a personal problem for you, but how is people/college kids defending their gender, their religion, their personal right to speech a problem?
     
    terrible links btw.

    That is not a determination FDA can make.
     
    FDA is government. You want government to interfere with drug pricing? What happened to your stance of supporting FREE CAPITAL?
     
    So you want Government to regulate and set pricing and then you want to support Free Capital? Those are contradictory. Pick your side.
     
    People AS OF NOW have the freedom to try medications, but they also have the freedom to sue the pharma company if the medicines they were on have severe unexpected side effects. Or get some sort of medical expenses covered caused by any side effects.

    I don't think banning hate speech affects  intellectual diversity. Unless you want hate speech to prominently figure in intellectual diversity.
     
    There is a difference in dissent of opinion, criticism; and speech inciting hate based on discrimination. Intellectualism does not increase based on discrimination, but on rational and logical dissent and freedom to criticize.
     
    There is no place for hate speech, except in your inner mind dialogue.

    Trump promised to release his tax returns if he was elected. He could put an end to all this or he can let it continue. If there's nothing to hide, one has to wonder why he can't make good on his promise.

    "Jacque" is most often the short form of Jacqueline, but there are also men with the name Jacque. Though more often it would be spelled Jacques, which would be the French equivalent of "James". Names have gotten all crazy these days though.

    I don't see why we have to compare them? What Clinton did can be kept to a decision about her. 
     
    I'm sorry I'm just not buying it at this point. The Cosmo interview was what, 1 month ago? So 1 month apart she happens to "misspeak" in the exact same way? Her freaking job is essentially all public speaking. it is all communication. If she can't get it right, she needs to be "transitioned" into other roles that she can do.
     
    Seriously if you can't do the job you are given, you shouldn't hold that job. Her job is to communicate information. She needs to get that right.

    You have a very poor understanding of the 1st amendment.

    I can only speak for myself, but at least for me personally I felt comfortable awknowledging Hillary's mistakes, and still choosing to vote for her.
     
    One problem I have with a lot of people in Trump's world right now is that they aren't capable of doing that. He encourages it with statements like 'All negative polls are fake news'. Really? Every single one? It isn't possible for a single poll to be negative about you and be real? That encourages people to just flat out deny when things happen that don't go there way.
     
    I commend Kellyanne for awknowledging her mistake. I think Sean Spicer could take a lesson from that with how he responded about the inauguration debacle. He never actually admitted that what he said on that Saturday was false. The times where they actually admit they are wrong and try to move on are few and far between.

    there's a reason why the potus moved quickly to post a video (and pat themselves on the back)  that they thought was brand new. what does that say to you, that the same people who just carried out a raid also are unaware of video that has been available to view for years? that doesn't tell you anything about the level of preparedness and planning that went into this raid? trump and co wanted to get their feet wet. they wanted to have something to show the american people 'look how powerful and awesome we are in comparison to the military of past 8 years'.  just a few posts ago you went on about osamas pic, i assume because you believe the obama admin didn't actually take him out. and to that i say LOL. 
    so how is my outrage faked? because i don't buy the story i was sold by trump? not my fault he doesn't know how to execute a wholesome wag of the dog.
