Travis makes sense
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:17:31 AM »
Clay Travis is inconsistent and tries too hard, but for once he gets it right without the jackass hyperbole.

In order to ultimately treat everyone equally, don't we have to allow those we disagree with to freely share their hate? Otherwise, we're in a terrifying place, a location where words matter more than actions, where the wrong thought is a virtual crime that could cost you your job. We need to be giving words less attention and actions more, but I'm afraid that the modern trajectory of the Internet mobs are taking us in the exact opposite direction.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Yep, we've taken the concept of "free speech" and restricted it to "free speech so long as the howling mob agrees." 

Definitely the wrong path.

What scares me the most about this is that we're continuing to grow as a society that chastises and destroys those who vocalize their differing opinions in public forums.  We are - based on recent events - especially okay with having thought police to carry out justice in our country.

All while bitching about the NSA. 

People are afraid that the government is going to expose their porn habits but the road we're on feels a lot like Fahrenheit 451 where the citizens are patrolled to be likeminded in order to appeal to certain masses who feel entitled to an audio of pleasantries and considerations.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

All I know about walruses is that out of all mammals they have the second largest penis. I have the first.
