Free Speech

[pcosmar]

I'm left confused by the combination of this and the 'declaration of independence' that you posted after it.


Without some kind of government regulation, who exactly is going to force Facebook and Google to let you do the things that you want to do?

They could Lose Protections (government Protections) that they currently hide behind.

[r3volution 3.0]

That is nonsense.

Which do you think is more likely:

--that the GOP suddenly adopted a principled and disinterested view as to whether social media should be liable for posted content

--or, that the GOP is mad at social media because it tends to lean Democrat, and is using the threat of liability to go after those opponents?

[Pauls' Revere]

No, your trespassing, move along.

[TheCount]

They only need those protections because of other, different government regulations.

[enhanced_deficit]

No.

This important poll closed too quickly, should have allowed more time for people to cast votes.

[r3volution 3.0]

No.

This important poll closed too quickly, should have allowed more time for people to cast votes.

Suspicious...

Perhaps the FTC should launch an anti-trust probe against RPF and its polling monopoly.

As a matter of pure coincidence, everyone who disliked RPF anyway thinks this is a good idea.

-- the Deep State anti-Trump Cabal continues to manipulate the MSM and Social Media but losers like r3volution 3.0 like to pretend that there is a BUSINESS REASON for the MSM and Social Media for censoring 80,000,000 Trump supporters.

the Deep State anti-Trump Cabal...

It's the 2020 version of speaking in tongues.

[DamianTV]

I understand the logic, but I do not agree with it.

What I am far more concerned about is the flat out ELIMINATION OF ALL FREE SPEECH. That means RonPaulForums goes bye bye. THAT is a much bigger concern, and that is what is HERE. NOW.

$#@! FEDBOOK. Support sites like RonPaulForums. Perhaps make some DONATIONS because hosting this site is not free. That helps the guys doing the work on the back end keep our site OPEN.

So here is what happened on FEDBOOK. In order to keep the site "free", they had some bills to pay. They answered to their REAL customers, the people that were paying the bills, NOT THE USERS. Thats the difference here. If YOU pay the bills, then YOU are the CUSTOMER. Fedbooks real customers said "we dont like what your users are saying about us", thus Fedbook complied.

Think of it this way. Lets say for example this site is sponsored entirely by Big Pharma. Big Pharma pays the bills. And running RPF.com is super duper expensive. yet, all we do is complain about Big Pharma. Big Pharma will say "either do something about your whiney bitchy users whose attention we are buying, or we are pulling funding". Thats what happened. Fedbook is kind of a man in the middle.

Same thing happened on MSM. YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. You give MSM your attention for FREE. Your attention is worth a LOT to advertisers. The Advertisers pay MSM for your attention. Thus, the Advertisers are the REAL CUSTOMERS. NOT YOU. NOT ME.

Back to the hypothetical. Would it be improper for RPF to say "our real customers have demanded we silence your anti Big Pharma speak" thus, we must now silence any discussion on the topic.

If you want to support Fedbook, thats your choice. Personally, I would rather see EVERYONE make some donations to Josh and who ever else busts their ass to keep our site that upholds FREE SPEECH as free as we can, bot monetarily and "free" as in Free to speak your mind.

Keep RonPaulForums FREE by making a site donation. And I think that is the end of discussion as they would say ladies and gentlemen.

I know that LaLanders believe that they are being governed by Angels. Those of us here on earth know better,

But dream on.

I went to the grocery store this evening.

The lanes around the store and parking lot are all plainly two-way, by the width alone and also the markings on the pavement.

On my way in *and* out there were cars driving down the middle of these lanes, as if the people thought they were one way.

Two of them honked at me because I was trying to pass them *on a two lane road*.

This store has been there for decades; the traffic patterns haven't changed at all.

Exactly how many people are heavily medicated these days?

Seriously, think about it.

As I was leaving that parking lot, I got the sudden urge to watch The Crazies, or The Walking Dead.

[DamianTV]

Too many people think they have authority to tell you how to live your life, in every aspect of it. Anything that makes them afraid makes them think they have authority to barge into your life and tell you what to do. Its also hypocritical because they will never listen to anything you say. Kind of like I have pretty much stopped listening to anyone that demand anything from me. "Read your bible". "Watch your news". "Put your mask on". They feel better if they think they have both authority over me, and their ideas will protect the world. I know I do some $#@!ed up $#@!. But I keep it to myself.

As far as these Medicated Road Nazis, the ones that honk want nothing more than for you to obey them. They are the sheep that attack other sheep if they see a sheep deviating from what they think you are "supposed" to do. They are the obedient lemmings marching us right toward the cliff.

They are not worth the time or effort. I think we have a LOT more important things to focus on right now.

In this case, isn't feigning ignorance and "pretending that everything is hunky-dory" more similar to a life of, say... credulously believing any lie, no matter how stupid, which tells you that your precious Orange God will remain upon his Golden Throne for another four years?

In your entire life, have you ever had even the slightest influence on government policy, with your 1/300,000,000th vote?

No, you haven't; neither have I.

Why would anybody “believe a lie”?


Or did you mean to say that you can’t handle the truth ?
