      Freedom of speech is not an "american" right.

      You guys only think you invented freedom.

          I noticed in England that it was against the law to carry signs that were obscene or insulted the queen.

            Freedom of Speech per the US constitution applies only to the government. Defend.net is private property amd the owner or his proxies certainly can kick anyone out for whatever reason he likes.



            So in other words: The government can't stop me from saying whatever I like in a public space like a sidewalk or a park, but the owner of a property can kick me off that property for any reason he likes - including my long-hair commie politics.

              Exactly, and if you don't like someone else's site you are free to get your own on which you can say or censor anything you want.

                  Complaining about freedom of speech, to people who don't care, is just another form of Trolling.
                  Suck it up and go bother someone else.

                    Don't think so.
                    You can buy toilet paper with her face on it.

                    Bet a dubbya version would sell well in the states if any of you are feeling entrepenurial.
                    Just remember where you got the idea and cut me in.

                              Jeez, wtf did I do?

                              Btw, Since your bashing on Canada, you might want to get a little clarification on Canada's thoughts on this...

                              In Canada you have freedom of speech, as long as you are not bashing or perpetrating hate towards someone else. For instance...

                              "I am unhappy with our prime minister" is fine.

                              "I hate Ni**rs, they should die" Would get you thrown in jail.

                              Much like you and Mike are saying this forum should be run.
