      I wrote this in 2012: free speech bumps against other rights, including right to live, assemble and to speak freely. http://technosociology.org/?p=1135 pic.twitter.com/NxwZ7XyCIq

      Free speech is an important value, but the idea that it's the only right or that it is absolute with disregard to other rights is.. bonkers.

          The premise of your argument is that the listeners of said free speech are not responsible adults.

          If you see this as "pure" speech, it's likely that you are fairly comfortable that this will not be pointed at you.https://twitter.com/_CraigStanley/status/896349016929206272 …

          It's the American way. The idea of rights, one of the most radical ideas in the world, is our greatest strengths.

          Well then it's a good thing we don't look at free speech that way in the USA, eh?

          Yeah this is one of the most ridiculous things ever. You can see this by looking at all famous people following Damore on Twitter. Crazy!!!

          This Damore guy is basically nothing if not for the Google tag on his forehead.

          Free speech vs Civic sense & sensibilities. The country provides the former but the latter is expected out of you every single time.
