Free Speech

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Free Speech. Why is it important? Because it’s an extension of Free Thought. Should we be able to think whatever the hell we want? Yes we should. Controlling Free Speech is about nothing more than controlling Free Thought. “You’re not allowed to say this, because somebody might not agree with it. You’re not allowed to say that, because somebody might feel hurt by it”. What they’re really trying to do is control what you can think. Trying to generate a “mindset”, a “zeitgeist”. Brainwashing is more like it. Well, fuck that. I’ll think about whatever the hell I want and as long as I’m thinking it, I’ll be saying it.

So fuck the Dutch government for trying to outlaw Free Thought, and keep on publishing cartoons showing Mohammed, wearing t-shirts implying cops are corrupt (which they are), making Death-Threat Raps and telling the public about how the politicians are the real terrorists. Remember that little rhyme you used to use when you were a kid? “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? Guess what? Kids are smarter than our police, politicians, religious fanatics and the whole government. Grow the fuck up.

This country is going to shit. Time to move to Cuba, where you’re allowed more freedoms these days.
