Thought for Today: "Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art." - Claude Debussy, French composer (born this date in 1862, died 1918).

"...and French composers should stick to writing music".  Sheesh.

Besides, do they even have free speech in France?

We don't have it here, why should they get to have it over there?

We have it here, the problem is most people don't actually understand what it means.

What's there to not understand? Do I need to pay for it? No? Then it's free.

I would call getting your ass kicked for expressing an opinion paying for it.

Just because he's free to say it doesn't mean he's free from consequences of it.

Hence not free.  Thank you.

Not to be too political, but you have every right to tell your HR and Travel department to GFT....you have the right to say it, doesn't mean you won't get fired.

Now you're talking about a business relationship.  Even so, my HR department can't beat me up for saying it.  You snowflakes want it both ways, and it just ain't so.

You are right, nobody has the right to take physical action against words said.

BLM and Antifa would beg to differ.

So would the KKK, but they all do face legal consequences, like any other person/group that takes violent action against anyone else.

But what does this have to do with cigars?

Hey, he can banter about whatever he wants. Free speech, bro!

Speaking of which, where the heck is the daily fishy report?

Good morning guys. Playing telephone tag with multiple doctors. Pulmonary Fuctiin Test this afternoon, having eye problems and now narrowed down to my RA meds, and need to find an eye doctor that takes my insurance.

trying to enjoy the sun, an AF Cuban corona and coffee.

Yeah right, blame it on the RA meds. When I was a kid, they clearly told us what would make us go blind...

Lol, what does anything here have to do with cigars?

Morning Mr. Dean.

[razgueado]

Morning, muchachos.

This has nothing to do with cigars.

[FloridaDean]

Morning, muchachos.

This has nothing to do with cigars.

EVERYTHING has to do with cigars.

[razgueado]

This has nothing to do with cigars.

EVERYTHING has to do with cigars.

Well, Bill and Monica made a case for that.

See, you're obviously one of the people who doesn't understand how free speech works. Free speech simply means the government can't make any laws prohibiting free speech. At some point, people started interpreting that as you can go around saying any damn thing you want with no consequences. Not sure how or why that happened. Probably #fakenews, somehow.

It happened because the SCOTUS keeps protecting the first amendment. You can say any damned thing you want. There may be consequences, but the consequences can't be for the expression itself if they come from government. Someone can be jailed for inciting to riot, but that gets a pretty narrow interpretation.

Pornography, the signs carried by members of Westboro Baptist Church, the ravings of racist and fascist organizations, caricatures of Jesus or Mohammed...all protected expression.

Well, the victim could sue the attacker. Then it could be paid speech.

At what point is "any damn thing you want" not protected speech?  I'm not talking about yelling fire in a crowded theater.  Commies, sheesh.

There IS no point at which it's protected speech. Again, they are only not allowed to make laws prohibiting it. There's no law that you can say anything you want, regardless of what it is, inflammatory or otherwise. That's Bill of Rights 101. You TX snowflakes are the worst.

Yes, there is a point at which it's protected, even from "extra-judicial" consequences. It can be difficult and expensive to prove, but if one private citizen deprives another of his civil rights, including first amendment rights, the deprivor can be jailed.

How big is the property that you need to get a riding one? Or is that simply a necessity due to medical issues?

I did it just enough to need glasses...

Everything in moderation, well played.
