Forcing people to look at very large ugly corporate statues because you have bad taste and too much money is profoundly selfish.

- ddingus 3y agoLike I said, freedom is scary. Can't hardly count the number of people who say they are all about free expression, until it is something they don't like. Factor all those dislikes in, and call those people selfish and if we were to actually entertain that (badly) broken reasoning, the resulting set of permissible expression would likely be more constrained than it currently is in regions of the world controlled by fundemental religious theocrats. And the vast majority of those people would easily say the people living under fundamentalism deserve better! That's bat shit. Full on, hot, fresh bat shit cray, cray. I get it. You just don't like the art. Join the club. We all see stuff every day we don't like. And someone here mentioned the cool Flintstone house in California. That is totally relevant! You see, people, who appear to align well with the opinion you have put here, have tried repeatedly to have it taken down. And their reason was the same as the one you are putting here; namely, they just don't like it and somehow that must mean the world needs to respond and GET RID OF THAT SHIT because? [ insert it here ] And they failed. As they should! We have a First Amendment for good reason. This discussion is the reason. Heck, you basically said crime for hire was an acceptable response! Good grief! And then you try and call selfish somehow? You flat out lost me. Seems like a botch to me, like the kind of botch others point to and proclaim their basic joy that they were not the one who botched it that badly. No Joke!
