Free speech

In America, we are granted the right to freedom of speech. It's engraved in the basic foundations upon which our very country was built. Men died to protect it. Maybe that's why it pisses me off so much when people try to impede upon others' right to say what they want.

Each person is entitled to his or her own opinion. That's the point of my blog: to share my opinions and invite others to do the same. So if your opinion differs from mine, by all means, tell me! Tell me why what I'm saying is erroneous, why my theories have holes, why my logic is invalid. Just make sure your points are well-founded themselves. Don't name-call or insult; say what you want to say without resorting to immaturity. Be eloquent. You have the right to say whatever you want...why on earth would you waste it on childish and empty insults? You're spitting in the faces of our forefathers. Use it...responsibly.

Cutting off a person's argument by calling him a prick isn't exercising responsibility. While I do appreciate that my readers are defending me, I don't want to be defended with immaturity. Stun them with your eloquence! Stagger them with your wit and reason! Silence them with your logic! And choose your battles wisely. Pointing out the factual errors in my writing isn't a crime. In fact, I appreciate it.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is this: we're not twelve-year-olds on a Pokemon message board. Let's not act as such.

Anyway...I am rubber. You are glue.
