[quote]I do believe you said you hate the government. Freedom of speech is guareented by the very same goverment that you professed your hatred.[/quote]
[quote]No. Freedom of Speech is an inalienable right given to me by God, not the government. Go take a basic U.S. history class at your local community college and get back to me.[/quote]
Was trying to highlight the fact that freedom of speech isn't guaranteed everywhere... That is all

I did not state the above comment, my "opponent" did. I stated that it is not guaranteed to me by man, but by my right as a human. It is my responsibility to preserve that right as It is those without the ability to freely speak to take back what is theirs. If the United States government attempted to remove any freedom granted to me as a human being (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) they would have to remove it from my dead hands.

Libertarian?

My point, my ONLY point, AGAIN, is that freedom of speech is not guaranteed everywhere, and OBVIOUSLY you didn't say the first comment, I put that there for reference.... [quote]If the United States government attempted to remove any freedom granted to me as a human being (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) they would have to remove it from my dead hands.[/quote] That would be a task of no great feat, Also, that is the basis of what the U.S. Is founded upon, soooo fat chance (I know this was meant to be figurative but still) [spoiler]you're really good at circumventing [/spoiler]

Regardless, it is not the duty of government to bestow upon its citizens basic human freedoms. It is the people's responsibility to preserve their freedom. This is the point I made. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. You are right in saying freedom is not guaranteed. But it is your job to ensure that freedom if need be.
