Hey guys, calling the other persons views child-like won't convince them of your view, it is in essence, devoid of all intelligent argument whatsoever. How about we put the bickering aside and debate the topic and not the person please.

I don't need court cases. The fact is that no one is taken to court for speaking their mind unless they are calling for someone to come to harm or death, or unless they are guilty of slander/libel or some other form of unprotected speech.

 

You can't give someone a freedom and then penalize them with consequences for exercising that freedom.   "Freedom of speech"  means that I can express a legitimate opinion without fear of reprisal from anyone, not just the government.

 

The same goes for the freedom to address the government with a list of grievances or the freedom of religion, or freedom of the press.    Should someone be penalized for exercising their freedom to adhere to their religion?   Should their be consequences placed on the American press for printing a story the government didn't like??   If simply voicing your opinion about an issue is enough to get you fired or otherwise punished, then freedom  of speech is nonexistent.

You have a child like view of free speech, there really is no other way to describe it.

Feel free to provide the court cases overturning actions such as this. Until such time I am correct.

that not only is tacky, but also rather presumptuous of you to think you can set the rules of conversation here.....     how many posts do you have here????  25..... 

 

When did the court system start strictly following the constitution?   Just because they don't follow the constitution all the time doesn't make you correct.

I would disagree with that Shiloh for your free speech can't infrenge on my personal freedom of taking care of my business....   especially when it's written into the contracts of people I employ.

 

Also as I said that includes people within our education system.....        When you sign the contracts to do certain works, you waive your constitutional right to make us look bad to the general public.

I have never signed a contract with an employer or ever seen a contract that ever governed my personal views or set a limit on my right to express my political views on my own time, away from the work place on my own personal Facebook account or any other medium of expression.    You might sign a contract that prohibits you from using company computers for personal use on Facebook.  You might sign a contract that says that you will not attempt to engage in political discussions in the workplace and on the company dime.   You may sign a contract that says you will not, while you are representing your company in public, make any comments that reflect poorly on your employer.    But that is not what we are talking about here.

 

Again, Other one, you are not really reflecting what has happened in regard to this principal.   He was not representing the school district or anyone else in the school.   His comments were not derogatory or in anyway harmful to the school.   He was speaking a free, private American citizen who has the freedom to speak his mind on his own personal facebook account on a current event.

 

No company can draw up a contract that says that they can control everything you say so long as you are an employee of that company.   They do not own you off clock.  They can't control their employee's political speech or opinions when they are speaking on their own time and as representing themselves and no other.

Considering my experience with the television industry, Xerox and our local schools, I would just say that in theory you might be right but in reality it's just not so.

I am a very confident person, as such when I am told arbitrarily that I am wrong two things happen. The first is my defenses go on high alert and at times I will counterattack. At the same time my confidence wants to be correct so I will ask for some sort of evidence to examine and have no problem admitting I was wrong and changing my views. If there is nothing offered to support the charge that I am wrong, then he is just starting his opinion, and as they say opinions are like armpits, everyone has them and most stink.

Returning to the topic of free speech, I will address the comments by Shiloh357.

If a newspaper publishes an article the government does not like and the government punished them, that would be a violation of free speech. If based upon the same story the government did nothing and advertisers no longer advertised with that paper because they didn't like the story, there is no infringement upon free speech.

Early in my career I lost a client because of a bumper sticker on my personal car supporting a candidate for governor. After a meeting at a restaurant we walked out to our cars and went our separate ways. The next day he called me and said that pulling out of the parking lot he saw my sticker and would no longer be employing my services. He was 100% in his right to do so and it was not an infringement on my free speech.

I will say it again, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Uncertain is in the right here.

 

The 1st Amendment means you have the right to say whatever you want, take photos of whatever you want, publish anything you want, record whatever you want... Unless you are breaking some kind of law by doing so. Examples would be threatening someone, or taking photos or video where specifically prohibited by law (which is very very few cases) or publishing something that breaks the law in some way, again, very rare instances.

 

Now, your right to freedom of speech STOPS where anothers rights begin. Employment, for example, is generally not a right. If you work for a school, then proceed to say that segregation was a good idea, the employer also has rights. Namely, to fire you. If I worked for a phone company, then proceeded to go post videos saying I worked for that phone company, and how awful they were... I have every right to post those videos. I can say whatever I want. Unless they physically prevent me from engaging in freedom of expression, there is no violation of the First Amendment. They, however, can fire me.

No BE,  you are wrong (like you always are) and so is uncertain.   Neither one of you know what you're talking about.

 

 

My right to freedom may end where someone begins, but that does not apply here.  This principal's comments didn't  infringe on anyone's else's freedom.   This man's statement was a personal opinion about an issue that had nothing to do with his place of employment.   His statement was not hurtful or damaging to his employer or any fellow employees.   He made the statement off of the school premise. It was on his own personal time and he was not in an official position representing the company at the time he made those comments.   These comments  had no reflection on anyone but himself and his employer had no right to fire him on that basis. 

 

Freedom of speech is not defined as, 'not restraining a person from speaking.'     Freedom of speech is the right to speak your mind (within reason) without fear of reprisal. It is the right for you to say what you think is right without the fear of losing your job, your property or the fear of being put in prison.  All this man said was that he felt the policemen was in the right.

 

Nothing in what he said constitutes a fire-able offense.   He made no threats, no racial slurs, no slander/libel, nothing.

If I am so wrong provide some sort evidence to show that I am wrong. Your opinion does not make me wrong.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
