Freedom of Speech

We have freedom of speech.  Thats fantastic.  And also untrue.  Jesus, we can't say ANYTHING!  Are you kidding?  Simon tells a guy who sings Cher like a girl that he should wear a dress and the whole world comes apart at the seams.  Certain groups don't like the way Cheney "Worded" his mishap in the woods.  What???  Word it yourself you moron.  Get a clue.  If YOU want the right to freedom of speech, then you ALSO have the right to shut the hell up when other people are using the same right.  I am so sick of people driving around WAAHHHmbulances because someone uses a WORD they don't like. 

Take the word Retarded for example.  I use the word retarded all then time.  You know, I'm Retarded!  Or damn, I am NOT freakin retarded....Whatever.  I am not verbally abusing people with mental disabilities.  The word retarded means slow or limited in intellectual or emotional capabilities.  So when I do something completely retarded, it means that my actions were limited in intellectual capabilities or my emotional capability was hindered.  Or if I complain to someone, I AM NOT RETARDED, it just means at that moment my intellectual capabilities are in their prime and I have not been slowed down by my thinking process. 

If you use the word homo, you are not bashing the entire community of gay people.  Really more than anything it just means your lazy because you don't wanna say the whole word.  I am sorry, just call it like you see it and let other people do the same.  You have the right to NOT get offended or to just simply ignore.  Jeez, everyone is so freakin pampered in this country.  Nobody has any balls. 

So, yeah, Get Balls.  Call me a bimbo, like I freakin care :)

I agree... unfortunately our country strives so hard to be 'politicaly correct' that we are forced to alter our vocabulary. Sheesh, we even say MR to refer to mentally retarded clients because it 'sounds less harsh.' Or 'little or wee people' to refer to midgets and dwarfs. These are all medical terms that serve a purpose. The problem lies in both connotation and interpretation. Interpret me how you want, and ill say what i want. At least if we have lost the freedom of speech we reserve the right to be EDUCATED. Thank god for that! (PPFFFTHHHHT to stupid folk!) LOL;-)

THAT was another word I was thinking of! MIDGET. If you are a midget you "are" little and wee. But we don't need to speak with adjectives. You are still a midget. If you are jewish, you are a jew. If you are fat, you are just fat. Not Gravitationly Challenged, or horizontally challenged, or suffer from excessive body tissue disorder. Sorry. If you have one leg, you have one leg. You cannot get all pissed off when some one tells you that you have one leg. If you walk into an audition as a male, and you talk like a girl, walk like a girl, sing like a girl, then choose Cher as a song, you simply cannot get offended if people are confused by this and suggest that maybe you are the wrong gender. I just think its crazy. Then all the people get into an uproar and say "I cannot believe you asked him to wear a dress!!!! OH MY GOD!!! You MUST be homophobic. OH my GOD, AMERICAN IDOL HAS TURNED INTO A GAY BASHING HATEFEST!!!!!! I mean come on people. That was never even said. Just relax and like you said, look at the connotation and interpret it for that situation. GOD. (said like napoleon dynamite)
