Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Show me where it says you have been given a mandate to take down deviantart.

As I sigh yet again at your blatant stupidity, I have to ask myself a question. Do they breed idiots in mass these days, or do they have to specially train them? (Rhetorical question, please don't answer)

God bless the Godly ignore feature. Jesus has truly blessed this site.

Then Deviant art has every right to take this site down.

Friend, we have a right to take devinanTart down because we have a mandate from God. Show me where in the Bible God gives them permission to take us down, and you'll have a case.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

You can't pick and choose what is freedom of speech and what isn't. Freedom is being able to say or do what you want, without consequence.

Do you know what the word "speech" means? The Merriam-Webster dictionary does.

Main Entry: speech
Pronunciation:'spEch
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English speche, from Old English spr[AE]c, sp[AE]c; akin to Old English sprecan to speak -- more at SPEAK
1 a : the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words b : exchange of spoken words : CONVERSATION
2 a : something that is spoken : UTTERANCE b : a usually public discourse : ADDRESS
3 a : LANGUAGE, DIALECT b : an individual manner or style of speaking
4 : the power of expressing or communicating thoughts by speaking

The Constitution says nothing about "freedom of typing." Unless one can orally communicate the sickening images found on that site (get your mind out of the gutter! ), we have every right to shut it down.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Sorry, I forgot. The internet ISN'T governed by the US law. Freedom of speech on the internet is different than in the US.

Although, freedom of speech is almost backward as someone else said; You can't threaten someone.

Fine. You go up to our Godly President and threaten his life. Or I'll make this even easier for you. Go to your nearest airport and proclaim that you have a bomb. After all, you're free to be able to say or do what you want, without consequence.

I'm thinking he'd prefer to do the little homework assignment.

Wrong.

Your assignment for this thread has two parts:

1. Look up and post here the text of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, so you may understand what "free speech" is.
2. Explain where you've found reference to "free speech" in God's Word.

Any posts made by you in this thread prior to completing this simple assignment will be deleted.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

I agree that some of the stuff is a bit... inappropriate.

So if the internet isn't a place for free speech, THIS FORUM should be taken down! So should EVERY OTHER site!

No. You are an idiot. I suppose you think that, in dictatorships, no-one is allowed to write anything? Freedom of speech means the right to say what GOD wants you to say, nothing more. So Landoverbaptist.net and jewwatch.com should be protected, but devianttart, moveon.org and catholic.org shouldn't. Comprende?

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

....Take down a site... based on the internet... where people have FREEDOM of SPEECH?! No. And besides, it's not the site, it's the users who upload that stuff that should be "taken down."

Your suggestion that we commit oral sodomy has been noted sinner.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

it's the users who upload that stuff that should be "taken down."

So you agree that the people posting on DeviantTard.com are posting filth. That's a step in the right direction, at least.

Now, if we take down all the filth, one posting at a time, there's nothing left.

Would it not be more efficient to simply take down the site?

Also, is it possible for you to somehow relate your comments about "free speech" to God's Word? That's what this forum is here to discuss and share, after all.

Thanks!

Last time I read the constitution, I didn't notice where it said anything about the internet. The freedom of speech is a right given to Americans, even though demoncrats abuse it every day. The internet is a worldwide community, and those rights are not guaranteed. Thats like saying it's okay for ACLjoo lawyers to represent foreigners.
