It doesn't exist.
Don't let the Marxists get to you. We do have a voice. Many are still listening. But we need to use it while we still have it. We supporters of liberty have tolerated their abuses for too long. It's time for lovers of free speech to become the intransigent ones.

Interesting do elaborate.

I would, but if I did, I would undoubtedly violate more rules. :sigh:

I beg you to exercise extreme caution, Comrade....they are everywhere, and non-correct thought will not be tolerated.

Freedom of any kind is being taken away.

Now toy stores in california are being told by government, how to arrange their store isles.

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."

Is this where I can ask for
women deacons, women priests, women bishops,
and women cardinals?

"You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also."—2 Timothy 2:1-2

Now, back to the OP…

Well I'm not very PC guy. I still believe and practise free speech even if it detriments me. I'm more likely to hurt some snowflake with my principles. In some cases all the snowflakes.

Free speech exist it is just getting less tolerated. And in the West, it is ironically being less tolerated by people who champion inclusiveness and social justice. By the way I can see for myself none of them live up to the values they espouse.

Don't be down, there are still people who won't bend the knee. Who won't be guilt shamed.

Oh one more thing, it's regarding rules. If rules are perfect and guaranteed happiness, fairness and wholesomeness there wouldn't be any need for violation nor can they lead a person to violate them. It is the imperfectness of rules to cover every aspect of discourse that strike down free speech even if it is in the general interest of discussion.

That is the exact term that got me in trouble---that word that means "a small particle of frozen water that flutters out of the sky". Apparently that term ist sehr Verboten, and I got an official warning for using it.

My advice is to go back and edit your post, IceJad---remove that dreadful word, or you'll end with outstanding warrants like me for being all insensitive and stuff.

Of course, simply by saying this, I've probably violated another regulation, undoubtedly..... "questioning decisions made by staff", or some such; so if I disappear suddenly, you'll know I've been banned.

Don't end up like me, Comrade---there is no hope for me; I am a hardened, hopeless criminal. But there's still hope for you: correct your thinking, align with the Commissariat, and never speak the truth again--- confine yourself to inoffensive banalities; it's the only way.

Oh, my heavens....someone's hammering on my door....!!!!

Reminds me of a passage from John 18:20 - 23
... I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said." When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is this how you answer the high priest?" Jesus answered him, "If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?"

Hey at this point it's a matter of principle. Frozen water particles or not. I meant what I said and I shall not retract what I have said. I only edit when it is not what I intend to say.

Well, that's up to you and I can't stop you. When you arrive here in the gulag, try to get yourself assigned to Barrack A-VII, Cellblock 2.....it's an isolation block for the very worst cases, but we manage to eat fairly well: we trap the rats in the latrines, chop holes in the ice and drown them, then roast them. Better than the moldy potatoes we're given to subsist on.

I'm not in a gulag mood these days so I’ll probably choose La Guillotine. For those so disposed, one positive is that some have managed to survive them and write books about them.

First day here today, is Sergey on the level? He seems to be enjoying his predicament all to well.

I remember as kids back in the 60's and 70's we were entertained, now kids are being programmed.

To be fair you we programmed as well, just not the partisanship programming. You were programmed to be a consumer. Remember the Saturday morning cartoons and the toy ads that aired during the breaks? Back then kids willingly get programmed because it was entertaining
