Freedom of Speech – Does Not & Should Not Exist.

I do not believe in ‘Freedom of Speech’. I also believe a hell of a lot of people that claim to believe in it, are pretty fucking confused about what the definition of that, really is. Almost everyone is all for their own personal ‘Freedom of Speech’, but as soon as someone says something insulting, or hurtful or that causes emotional upheaval to them, it shouldn’t (and often times isn’t) be permitted.

The recent Prophet Mohammed (salalhu alhi wasalam) cartoon controversy, the violent reaction to vocal denial of the holocaust, the laws protecting Christianity against slander, and even UAE’s fame for blocking websites, are just a few examples of ‘Freedom of Speech’ and its distortion.

The definition of ‘Freedom of Speech’, put bluntly is to, “outlaw censorship”. International laws also state that using freedom of speech can not be used under multiple pretences; for example defamatory statements. How can you outlaw censorship and censor defamatory statements at the same time? A paradox, I’m sure many will argue. But to me, it’ll never be more than a contradictive set of laws that will never make logic.

Because I have the amazing ability to look up a definition, such as this and can comprehend what it means, I know for certain that I do not believe in the true existence of freedom of speech, nor do I agree with the concept of it.

Talk about a fantasy to murder President Bush in the United States, on any internet server, and see how far the international laws of freedom of speech will get you. You’ve not threatened him. You’ve not ‘defamed’ him. You’ve broken no law. But you’d still be fucked.

So to that, I say FUCK ‘Freedom of Speech’. And to those who actually think is exists or should be implemented, time to take off them tinted-glasses a view the real world; full of contradictions, just like me.

Where is this all coming from? I’ll tell you. I exercised my right to this paradox this evening. It’s something I rarely do. A particular chatter in my chatbox over there, got himself banned from using it. He simply freaked me out. Even though, the conversation itself makes for comedic entertainment, here’s exactly how he did it:

He introduced himself casually enough…



Don’t forget to read these conversations from bottom to top now guys… I promise, this gets good.



Now, note that the Google search words this guy found me by, where “Girl” & “Dubai”. I don’t know about you, but I’m a little put off by guys with such precision based requirements while blog browsing; kind of makes me feel like a little less-unique; a little underappreciated.



And well, I’ll call them the way I see them, won’t I guys?



Fool me once, shame on you… Fool me twice shame on me… But you get an even bigger cookie than when you attempt to fool me twice, and fail miserably both times.



Oops. I’m afraid I’ve really lost interest now.



Thankfully, I didn’t have to respond any further last night. A third party entered and pretty much said all I had to say. Thank you!



You’ll never guess who decided to come back today! How should a girl I hint?



And it looks like my savior returns again; along with another innocent chatter.



Clearly Xeesh, doesn’t have the sharpest comprehension skills.



None the less, twenty minutes later…



Ok, let’s put it as blunt as possible. I tried to say it as smoothly as I possibly could. But enough is enough.



I’m pretty sure I can’t make it any clearer here, guys. I mean, am I not speaking English?



And, since you clearly don’t seem to understand and can’t seem to back off, I’ll have to do it for you; without warning. Thank you Sam, for sorting this bit out for me. You have officially been banned from my chatbox.



Now… I don’t know about the rest of you, but these types of people scare me. Seriously. I will not have anything to do with clingy, over-friendly, and clearly suspicious characters. I might be paranoid, but I’d rather be that than deal with these types of people.

Sam, this whole conversation makes me wonder how much you’d charge me to plagiarize your IQ disclaimer…

Freedom of Speech defined by Wikipedia:

“Freedom of speech is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies, where it is understood to outlaw censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in many countries.”
