Context: stephen curry stated he wasn't interested in visiting the white house. Trump then criticized him and uninvited him, causing LeBron (and others) to rip into him.

 

What I found disappointed was:

 

1) Mark Dice as usual being an ass and now suddenly caring about grammar (BLM=blacks looting and murdering - you fucken serious?)

 

2) amount of people stating he shouldn't voice his opinion

 

3) racist or bigoted comments towards him

 

4) people claiming he isn't allowed to disrespect the president

 

I think this situation just proves that some people can't disagree with you without having to shun or despise you. At the end of the day, I can agree with some users on here and ram heads 24/7, but I'll never go as far as some people have gone with LeBron.

 

We see people using claims like 'the racist right' or 'tolerant left', but now I realize the dumbasses who even use these quotes nonironically are usually part of the problem. There truly isn't no need to be so toxic. It's quite disappointing as to how some people (cough cough Mark Dice and co cough) deflect criticism by resorting to insults, grammar corrections, and strawmen.

 

People here say the political threads here are bad, but they honestly feel like a safe space compared to how cruel and rude people can be in these types of topics.

Mark Dice is a smug asshole.

Anytime I feel like I somewhat agree with him(can't recall exactly ... and even if I don't want to be associated with him) his demeanor is so appalling that I just can't stand him and end up hating the video.

And look I love smug assholes, I mean I like the Amazing Atheist.

But Mark Dice is on another level, saying some of the most retarded shit ever. 



Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to say whatever you desire without repercussion.
And in-fact has a ton of actual restrictions.

I feel it is a term people throw around far to casually to try and undermine someone else's position.

With that... The President is certainly open to criticism. He is a clown, but an elected clown nonetheless.

Well another person on the left that is a smug asshole is Bill Maher but at least he is funny. People on the right that are smug assholes are talent less hacks like Mark Dice.



Freedom of speech doesn't have restrictions. If it did, it would not be a "freedom".

Another quality post, Chris Hu. No generalisation at all.



Stephen Curry used his freedom of speech (and, by extension, freedom of association) to criticize President Trump.
President Trump used his freedom of speech (and, by extension, freedom of association) to criticize Stephen Curry.
Under the pretext of President Trump's criticism, LeBron James used his freedom of speech (and, by extension, freedom of association) to criticize President Trump.


I guess actions do have consequences!

I see a load of people massively overreacting about small stuff that doesn't matter, but I see no violation of anyone's "freedom of speech". In fact it's quite the opposite, looks like they're all speaking pretty freely to me.

As for the poll, yes of course grammar matters! Just like in text messages, I hate it when people use stupid abbreviations instead of writing proper words, it's simply uncouth!

LOL, ikr, smh tbh fam

I don't even know what you just said.

If you really can't be bothered to find out, just imagine it as an insult to your intelligence, and react accordingly.
