Rights

Oct 19, 2005 02:12

Some people, these days, seem to think that they have "the right" to tell other people what they don't have "the right" to do, or say. Yes, I know this will strike a chord with a few people, but you are not the only ones in this world, and many others do the same thing. I believe the First Amendment refers to something such as "freedom of expression." This gives a person the freedom to express their opinion about something, or someone, no matter how well they know that thing, or person. Some people don't believe so. That'd be like saying I can't bash Mr. Bush (not my president) because I simply don't know him. I may not know him, but he's still an idiot. Or that I can't say that Martha Stewart is a criminal because, oh no, I don't know that woman. Despite the fact that she is a convicted criminal, I'd have the freedom to say she was, whether she was or not. The First Amendment grants me that freedom. These people are the ones who don't have "the right" They don't have "the right" to try to deny others their freedom to state their own opinion. They don't have "the right" to try to intimidate others into believing they were wrong for stating their opinion. Also, no one has "the right" to make you feel your beliefs are wrong. You hear that, all you "Christians" who think I am wrong for not believing in your "God?" Go wait for Santa Claus. That should keep you busy for a while.
