Default Free Thought vs Free Speech.

This is the freethought forum. But having the freedom to think about something means absolutely nothing if you aren't free to speak of what you think. And none of the major forums out there will allow it. I am guessing that this one doesn't either. I have some memes concerning freedom of speech. See how many you agree with. Not that it means anything.

DO NOT ENGAGE. It's too risky.

This guy has downloaded a LOT of memes from Brainyquotes.com.

Let me guess, you're one of those twits who thinks other people exercising their free speech by loudly mocking you shouldn't be allowed.

People who mock me are a bunch of morons. Worse yet, they probably enjoy being that way. No doubt for them, it is much easier than trying to use logic. Or engaging in a debate they already know they can't win.

How about agreeing or disagreeing with the memes in my thread. Or are you too much of a narcissist for that.

I'm going to agree with you on this one.

It was a long time ago, but I realized quickly the mob here isn't actually that smart, when it comes to controversy. Especially when it is viewed as political.

It's been over a decade and the butthurt woke idiots here still think they won some sort of victory. But I see it as comedy, rather than tragedy.

You bring up an interesting point.

That we do not know what Thimerosal can do to developing mammals is just flat out un the fuck believable. It's like, what in the hell happened to injecting animals with shit to find out what can happen?

Again, this whole autism/mercury/vaccine bullshit arguments that go all over the place are all because of the lack of science.

Take a boatload or two of chimps, inject some of them with the vaccines, and see what the hell happens. Inject some more of them with a shitload of thimerosal and see what happens. Don't inject some of them at all. Inject the momma chimps, inject the baby chimps, do all that scientific animal testing that we know how to do to find out what happens.

Do it more than once. Do it over generations of chimps, do it it in all those scientific ways where you can simply know what Thimerosal can or can't do to primates.

It isn't some mysterious task. This is done all the time.

We DON"T EVEN KNOW if Thimerosal CAN EVEN CAUSE neurological problems. Hard to believe, but nobody even knows.

I say find out. That is how evidence based medicine works. Everything else is bullshit and avoiding the issue.

Yes it cost money, yes it would maybe hurt some chimps, but so what? It's not like the military hasn't done this to tens of thousands of chimps already.

They are doing this kind of thing to chimps right now.
This was the start of a insipid argument that boils down to idiot clowns giving blow jobs to each other over how awesome they are.

It's also why I say you are exactly like them in many ways.

There's a laugh. You think he's being honest?
He's just being a guy that likes throwing shit in the fan to see the patterns it makes on the wall.
I reckon that's honest, in his own way.

Have fun with that.

I am glad that you agree with those memes. Unfortunately it seems that most of the people at this ghost town forum go by what those memes say as an excuse to insult me. Even though all I do is speak the truth. That is as best I can. For example, somebody brought up that some other slightly different creatures are indeed referred to as different races of that creature. In that, I was wrong. Also, it pisses me off that so many of my threads get sent to the cloaca section. Where they can't be viewed unless you're a member. Just because they say things the mods don't like.

Whether that's a real risk now, or ever was, should be debatable. But it's a different reason from "things the mods don't like".

From what I have seen, this forum is populated completely populated by trolls. It doesn't matter what category whatever I write is put in. I will get the troll treatment wherever they are. Also, I think I mentioned another far more populated forum where if they don't send my threads down to their shit section, they just close it down to further discussion. They do so because the mods there don't like my threads either. And they definitely don't want me to PROVE whatever point I had to make.

You saw my threads. They don't deserve being in the same category as "pedoGooglers" or whatever.

Default Re: Free Thought vs Free Speech.

If being visible to non-members is so important to you, then you’re looking for a free megaphone and not free thought. There are plenty of blogging options out there but no where under freethought does it include ‘piggy back on another’s google ranking’.

Besides in the last decade it’s been shown that ‘sunlight’ is not the best disinfectant and neo-nazis happily promote bad faith claims of free-speech to push their own agenda.
