are like assholes....everyone has one...and some of them are downright stinky.
*sigh*
There are times when my love of Free Speech annoys me.
Yeah I know that's a hell of a thing to say but really in order to have free speech for some you have to have it for all and that means hearing things you really don't want to hear....frequently from people you don't want to hear them from.
It's bad enough having to sit by and let hate spew out of the mouths of idiots but when it dribbles off the lips of friends it's down right disgusting.
But..... I support their right to have an opinion....and to speak up about it...even when it's wrong.
even when I find it reprehensible
oy what a pain in the ass that is.....to have to allow hate literature in order to have poetry...to allow horrid porn in order to have art....to let people rant on about (I'm about to use some offensive terms - theirs..not mine) " niggers"," faggots", "witches", "Bitches"etc etc etc ...in order to be able to stand up and speak out about the things I hold right - Freedom of expression, equal rights for all, freedom to love who you will, freedom to worship as you will, and not be persecuted because of it.
in order for me to express my beliefs I have to be willing to let them express theirs.............and not pick up a 2x4 and smack them over their heads with it.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change
the courage to change what I can
the wisdom to know the difference
and the patience not to beat the hell out of those who annoy me.
amen.

ReplyDeleteLOL amen Granny....AMEN!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...who said what? Not that you don't always feel this way, me too, but I detect that someone somewhere specifically got up your nose for this one...do we even want to know? May we all have the patience you pray for...
ReplyDeleteOh it was a friend who's also on Facebook who narrowminded all over my link about the Presidential decree about visitation - He kvetched...then didn't have the balls to leave his Kvetch up there where the public could see what a dickweed he was being.
ReplyDeleteI think my statement that he was wrong but I supported his right to be an asshole (only more politely than that) kind of got to him.
