21. Free throught and free speech are always pretty

Apr 2013

I would have hoped that when it comes to censorship the forum would error on the side of adult participants being able to use well placed language that may not be pretty.

When speaking of SCOTUS and gay marriage,If I were to say.
"Social conservatives eager to claim the cloak of decency, attempt to make straight men's skin crawl but bringing up homosexual acts. Look inside the court to find what makes my skin crawl. When it come to decency ,Scalia is the cocksucker".
I may offend you, it may be entirely vulgar. Such a statement may brand me as not fit for DU. Yet it may relfect Scalia well in the contex that it is used. Thus it is political speach and shoud be allowed by adults.
