Freedom is speech isn't the freedom to make people listen.
- tdhoot 5y agoGreat. You have the freedom to speak, as long as it’s only in your head or into a corner where no one can ever hear you. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean the freedom to make people listen, but the government can’t make that choice for people.
- engineer_22 5y ago"make people listen" Like, coercion? As in, physically restrain someone so they must engage with my ideas?
- Teever 5y agoNo, we're talking about a situation in Ottawa where people are blaring their truck horns for hours at a time with a complete lack of regard for how the citizens of that city feel about it.
- engineer_22 5y agoOh, I thought we were talking about freedom of speech.
