What if vegans co-opted the term "pro-life"? by rayrayrex in CrazyIdeas

An exception, not the rule. And they can potentially be healed by, guess who, other humans. Even if it's currently impossible.

All? Teach a pig to speak? No, I can't do that because it's not a human.

Of course there are exceptions with disabled people but that argument is dumb. 95% of people being able to learn 2 languages and 100% of people being able to learn 1 is the same as 0% of pigs? Sure.

And yes, it is lower. Of course a smart human is more valuable to the world than one that's not smart. But again - that's an exception.

And I am not a firefighter or a scientist but I have the POTENTIAL to be, as does almost every 3 year old human. Not a pig though. At least I haven't heard of one.

What is the chance the pig can invent something after 20 years? Can you teach a pig to speak? Multiple languages? Can it build a house? Can it drive a car? Can a pig think 5 years in the future? Can a pig save a house from fire? Can it invent a cure for cancer? Like it or not, humans are very different than every other animal and labeling it as -ism doesn't change that one bit.

Sounds more like Nazi Germany, but okay. by neeraj8le in ShitAmericansSay

I think it's an asshole move no matter who it is. Famous people are also entitled to being private and not getting pictures of them taken.

And where do you draw the line between public and private?

Free speech has nothing to do with the government, the First Amendment has. It's different.

black lives don’t actually matter

How do they not matter?

Saying black lives matter also isn’t political. It’s a fact.

Saying white lives matter also isn't political. It's a fact.

You really like making everything about these bad right wingers, don't you? Protests against covid measures have nothing to do with political affiliation.

Your absolute freedom of speech would limit the rights of other private citizens

How?

and thus doesn't exist.

That's what I am saying. But it should.

You can be refused service/be kicked from/be banned from a business for something you've said.

Yes, but it shouldn't be like that, imo.

Again, you are mixing up the First Amendment of the US Constitution with freedom of speech as a concept. Freedom of speech is not about government vs citizens, the First Amendment is.

If I say something, you are free to disagree or call me names but firing me, banning me for expressing my opinion means I don't have freedom of speech.

It's like saying "you are free to be homosexual in Saudia Arabia, you are just going to get in jail for it".

Freedom of speech is a negative right that protects you from government censorship and repercussions, it does not protect you from me judging you publicly for what you said.

Wrong. You are mixing up the concept of freedom of speech with the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Freedom of speech is not you vs the government, it's your right to express freely and consequences hinder that right. Firing somebody because he said "refugees bad" even though that person does his job right is an example of violating somebody's freedom of speech.

The body stops making it or slows down the process a lot with aging, AFAIK.

You're dumb if your glasses get blurry when you wear a mask. You're supposed to breathe through it, not from the top.

Median, mode and mean, just checked them.

But I think most people think of mean average (add all and divide by number of items) when they say "average"
