freedom of speech
One thing I will never trade my country for is the right to freedom of speech and the press. Many more reasons but these two items come first.I don't know about most countries in the world but I am aware of so many that won't allow this freedom.
I just want to thank this site for such a liberal policy in the conduct of any subject that I'm sure can't be tolerated in most countries.
In your country, can you write and express like you do here?
My country is not perfect but I can say this, I'm proud and I am happy to be an American.
Peace. .I thought we were the Guardian of this expensive commodity. Peace. Maybe I am wrong.

Note that it does not say you are free to express any and all views without any repercussions at all.
Yes we have more freedoms then most countries without fear of being shot for saying so.
Obviously as the recent arrests in China and elsewhere show, no. If they write it here while they are still physically in s place lacking that Freedom, big guys with guns may kick in their door and take the whole family away.
We used to have a good CS member who worked someplace in the Mid East but she was not a native of that country and she wrote some things very mildly criticizing that particular countries way of doing things. Someone reported it (or that country reads everything everyone writes as many countries do (see Snowden for a hint)) and links it to the person. She isn't on CS anymore.
Christian Principle: Freedom of speech, or choice, or right to decide, or the availability of an option DOES NOT necessitate its exercise when LOVE and CONCERN for someone else becomes a factor. The most serious danger in an unrestrained approach to liberty (freedom) is the possibility of causing RESENTMENT AND HATE (which are sins) in the weaker person who DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME LIBERTY (FREEDOM.)
The ability to have free speech comes a price...responsibility...but I also thought about your comment regarding the Charlie Hebdo shooting...
Thanks for joining Z.
Tell what cross in your mind in the nane of freedom to speech which finally you just showed your quality... It's a pity.
I don't respect someone who too much talking abt something that they don't really understand and impose to other what they think... Anyway... You don't need my respect LJ.
And just knew that you are American not Philippines like your look.
Competes with Game of Thrones here in 3, 2
You hate me and that is fine, too. I read all your comments on another blog about me. I don't hate you, I just hate those people who interpret your religion to kill. You don't do that, do you?
