Why is it that everyone on here cries for free speech...?

and yet when someone says something that bothers you or that isn't Politically Correct, for instance, why Homosexual people like other homosexuals who act like members of the OPPOSITE sex.. a percentage of Answerers on here see to it that people exercising their right to free speech get booted off? I was interested in the above question by "NONAME" I honestly was curious what people thought on the subject and then he got kicked off the site?! because obviously enough people took offense to his straightforward question. He didn't attack anybody, he just asked a straightforward question. It's not like we all don't know what he's talking about. the people out there that took offense-are you gonna tell me that you didn't immediately picture in your mind the kind of person he was talking about? we've all seen it!

Is having to be Politically Correct the latest version of a right to have a witch hunt?

    Freedom of speech? Is there a freedom of speech?, guess even to your love ones, you do exercise caution in your speeches, because some words just cannot be splurred out unconciously. Words can bring joy to all and it also can kill ya.

    Class differentiation, division of people exist in this world, not only it implies to human, even animals are classified in many ways. Each group behavor particular different from another, within each group, there are protectionist, unique principle, style and character. Any invasion or disagreement with or by other group can lead to fatal consequences.

    Such is the ruthlessness of this world that need constant summit, discussion, understanding and meeting to gather cohesion and peace within our human kind. Does the world is balance and in peace if only we can better learn to respect each other and understand our differences.

    There are alots of thing we see as unfair in this world, but ask yourself, in what capacity can you change the situation. Currently, the world preferred to run on voting, anything above 50%, shall gain the upper hand to any dispute. This is how the world works, from election of the govt to deciding to go where for dinner within a group of friends. Let draw lots is a common phrase.

    If you are in the minority where the majority win, you have to live with it. No emotion involve.

    Wow, what a coincidence!

    I happen to have a friend who asked a very similar (if not almost exactly the same) question just like the one you're talking about.

    Although, my friend didn't post it in the LGBT section like the NO NAME guy did. That NO NAME guy though, (I heard) had accidentally posted the same comment twice, because he didn't know how to add more content to his question so he hit the backspace button and it posted twice.

    I guess that's all the "very liberal minded" LGBT community needed in order to sic the Yahoo stormtroopers all over his NO NAME behind until he was KAPUT!

    Anyway Check out my friend's question and see how people responded.

    maximum of what you hear is one social gathering line or yet another. The left co-opted 'loose speach' some an prolonged time in the past. they have it tied up the way the final has 'regulation & order' welded to thier image. yet, only through fact they have staked it out, does no longer mean they preserve on with it. Speach is loose, yet 'hate speach' (any speach no longer sufficiently deferent to the left) isn't. meanwhile, the two facets spout thier social gathering lines without relatively questioning approximately what they are asserting, attempting to weigh down rational discourse with the sheer quantity of thier propaganda.

    Your question is too long, were not deep thinkers here, shorten it up a little and maybe you will get my expertise. Yahoo is full of s hit, you can go around bashing people but when you do it back you get suspended.

    Freedom of speech includes freedom to criticize. It works both ways.
