she should be punished because YOU don't like her remarks?? that's ridiculous.

what happened to free speech? what happened to ' i may not agree with you, but i agree with your right to say it?' what about when you say something 'offensive' irish? or is that different??
get off your high horse. if you don't like something, don't engage in that behavior. but gimme a break about pushing your ideals on someone else.

Then why did Don Imus get fired??????

Why did Jimmy the Greek get hounded about his comments?????

I agree with free speech, but how can you punish someone for offensive comments, and then let the next go when it's against a different group of people????

Well, for one thing, I don't thnk Jesus really has any standing upon which to sue.

For another, most would agree with the F**k Notre Dame part.

No more argueing about this from me, I will just leave you guys with this line.


"Now let's get some stuff out of the way quickly. I'm not the type who gets offended by religious slurs. I figure if people are that ignorant, they probably lead a pretty meaningless life anyway. "

Why, yes, actually. They are living people.

Now, if you totally buy the last half hour of The Da Vinci Code, perhaps that brunette French gal might have a 'lil something coming her way but, really, whouldn't she have other things to do?

And if you give her standing how do you stop Nipsy Russell's heirs from emptying the pockets of Don Rickles? That would be my big concern.

i don't know, but i didn't agree with them getting hounded either. do you? apparently you do, as you're up in arms about this lady. if you're not bothered about their comments, but about hers, then you're treating one group differently then others as well.
i don't think anyone should be treated differently, and if you go back thru any other free speech threads on here, you'll see that's true-in my case. how about yours?

saying you agree about free speech, and then saying if some get punished when they exercised their rights, so all should, does not indicate you agree with free speech.
