Topic For Today: ”Expression”
I have been cursed with one of those ‘tell all’ faces. I can’t play poker and I certainly can’t hide what I am thinking and feeling inside. I wish I could have a face that showed less expression but I’m afraid I am stuck with it. Maybe the wind changed?
Freedom of Speech or Freedom of Expression is quite a popularly discussed subject. It is often the excuse used by racists for expressing their hateful views and expecting their victims to ‘suck it up’. Freedom of expression cannot and should not apply to Hateful people who wish to incite further hatred.
But this guy (below) does have a point.
Have a think for a moment. We all have views and opinions and that is all well and good, but do you respect and accept other people have different views to yours? Are you happy with them expressing them?
Do you have friends who vote for a different party? Or hold a very different view with regards to other issues of the day? We should be able to accept and respect others and have friends we can have an open and friendly discussion with. If you answered those questions as NO, then maybe you need to consider the fact that YOU do not believe in Freedom of Expression at all, unless it’s yours…..
I’m being rather controversial, aren’t I?
Well maybe you’d like this quote better:

A tiny bit controversial…but in a very eloquent and charming way Kristian. You have gently provoked our thoughts in a healthy way.
Although…I guess there has to be a line drawn somewhere, as expressions of hate seem to be flourishing in an alarming way in some areas. Makes me want to cry when I think of how much hatred and fury some are carrying round inside of them.

Thank you. I have to admit I don’t really know who he is, but I though he made a good point. The other quote was to balance it out and finish on a happy note. 🙂
