Poor little snowflakes. Here's an idea: try acknowledging reality. See where that takes you.


I don't know Schmo. If we are not free to live in unreality, then what will happen to religion?

Good point. If there's one thing Joseph Smith and BY taught us, it's that America is the land of opportunity to take your sex cult mainstream.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Well, Joseph Smith and BY didn't leverage activist judges to mainstream their sex cult. There's that.

You mean, they didn't just leverage Mormon judges to mainstream their sex cult.

What’s hilarious is that Facebook and other social media outlets restrict what can and can’t be posted all the time. Porn, nudity, certain types of advertisements, links to other social media platforms, etc have been forbidden for years but the blind faith trumpster pearl graspers like water dog haven’t said crap. All of a sudden, when one of their misinformation overlords is treated like the garbage he is, they are up in arms about how private companies shouldn’t be able to control the content they allow because that somehow equates to the govt restricting free speech. Lol.

These people have literally lost the ability to think rationally as this is one of the stupidest things I have read here in a long time and that is saying a lot considering we have full blow hood wearing, sister diddling racists and barely literate, holocaust denying basement dwellers posting here regularly. Trump and Alex jones certainly don’t seem to cater to the brightest among us.

Well, boobies make us touch ourselves and that would feel good.

Um . . . . which is wrong, very wrong, and I want to avoid lying to my bishop so much.

Alex Jones has been testing out how much we are willing to tolerate for many years. Finally, companies are stepping forward and saying no more. Those companies should be liable for all false accusations Alex Jones makes on a regular basis because they have been supplying him the medium to spread his accusations. This is not some guy simply stating his political opinions through various social media outlets. He is actually harming individuals.

You're comparing this debate to holocaust denial and incest? Oh my, how long is your nose that you can't see past it? Mark my words, this issue is going to end up at the Supreme Court. As it already has in the past when the issue was far less consequential.

The public forum doctrine protects speech in, and a speaker's right of access to, spaces that fulfill an important communicative function in the community. This Part explores the doctrine, and in particular, its application by courts protecting speakers' access rights to property that, while private, plays a vital role as an arena for discourse. The paradigmatic example of a public forum on private property has been the modem shopping center.
...

Under the doctrine of PruneYard Shopping Center v. Robins, cable systems can be construed as public forums. Such a designation represents, in this context, a minor restriction on the property and speech rights of the cable operator.
