There was a line I recall hearing once, couldn't recall where, that was basically this:Â "You are the Boss of you."
To me, that means YOU are responsible for how you take something. You decide if something is offensive. If something is humorous. But, in the end, you are responsible for your actions.
You make a point to act like an asshole, you risk being stabbed. But my point is that, an individual should have the right to BE an asshole. And, if the words of their mouth get the ever living tar kicked outta them,tough. That's a result of their actions.
A lot of people don't like the idea that we can't all get along. That we need to not step on anyone's toes. I, in my opinion, think that is an impossibility. No one will ever like us entirely. Hell, I'm sure my last three posts have earned me a few disapprovals from people. But I expressed myself and at least I live in a country that I'm able to do that.
I really do believe that true freedom of expression is having the right to say whatever you want But I think you must be forced to deal with the reactions of your deeds and words. Which very well might be getting your ass whooped.
Again, I am not against anyone's life style choices, nor do I think the OP is wrong in their post, or that anyone's opinions are wrong. Everyone's opinions are equal, they all just don't have to agree with one another I just desire a concept where all ideas are able to equally express one another so that society, as a whole, can hear them and then choose what they desire to be the idea they prefer the most.
Honestly, I've probably derailed this thread more than was my intent and for that I'm sorry but this is a public forum and hey, its what the Greeks wanted.
