I have the First Amendment right to draw Muhammad, Jesus, Buddha, and Doctor Strange

[Call Me Wesley]

127. A nation of fear, divided by the 1st amendment.

I'd rather see the hate groups and private idiots perform under the 1st amendment in the open than to see them going underground. The first amendment, although now totally perverted, is a good thing. Censorship is not. Fear is not, but it was fed into your system continuously.

Fact is, we don't care much about it. (I'm a foreigner, and this is just my opinion, so go ahead and tell me that I'm inferior and shouldn't even join a discussion about a constitutional freedom I have no clue about it.) As individuals, we just don't really have the power to express it. The first amendment doesn't work so well unless you're either Scientology or NRA.

Be gay in some sort of school and get beaten to death. Be black in some some sort of suburbia and get shot. In the back. Be Muslim, pray like those Christians do and be seen as someone who wants to blow up your neighborhood. So fucked up. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech has become corporate.

The whackos are using it. Why don't you? Let's take it back.

Funny to say this on a 'democratic' website where we can't even discuss topics that are in the news, especially guns. There's two groups for this. There's two LGBT groups; it's like if 'gay stuff can only be posted there.' Out of sight, out of mind. We already have started to self-censor ourselves.

And no, I don't address the people here who hate to have being politically correct because they can't say bad words anymore, even as jokes. These trolls have no place here, anyway.

All I want to say is that the 1st amendment needs to be untouched. I want to see these bigots, racists, idiots, loud-mouths, scum, in the open.
