Anonymous Coward User ID: 79502974 02/11/2021 08:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, as a matter of fact, I was just about to add a comment to a post here on GLP and I just stopped and went to another thread. At the rate things are going, every comment we make could possible be used against us no matter and it can be twisted. Quoting: wkk I don't want to be a coward, so I still say things to those around me--and I stand up for my beliefs, but I do censor my opinions a lot. this is also a good point, despite the moran that commented before me. questions pop up when i am about to hit that post button like, is this legal? and all i am thinking is that i fucking loathe biden and the dems. cheers mate If you are the kinda moran that needs to stop and think hard about whether something you are going to say or post on the internet has legality issues then one has to wonder just what the hell sort of things you discuss about on the internet. Last thing I will say to this is... "If you were ever curious or wondering about who rules over you or is controlling things, just find out who it is that you can't openly criticize or question about". You do realize it's illegal to deny certain events or question the ethics and motives of certain people in many parts of the world, right? Your first paragraph seems to contradict the last. You do realize what you just said is that you live in fear and let so called authority figures intimidate you into thinking there are things or events you can't discuss. Ever really think of why that is? Maybe because it's all deceptive bullshit and if they let people research and discuss it then the truth would be exposed? And not really, at first I thought maybe you meant things like talking about murdering people and that kind of law issues. |

I'm not going to go down being a coward. I have a FB account for my artwork with about 3000 highly liberal followers, and they're going to get an earful whether they like it or not. if you were ever going to be scared of your career and regarding what you discuss on the internet, then why would you use data-mining profiling social media apps or websites? Because hiding in fear is not in my nature one bit. |

The scales seem balanced. It is now time to tip them in the direction of truth rather then muddled lies and MSM sludge.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79920699 United States 02/11/2021 08:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | do you? are you censoring yourself more than usual... more than you should? i know i am. in daily life, and even here some times, and that's just bullshit. Quoting: JJ Johns i shouldn't. i try not to. but i slip once and a while. keep fighting the good fight. cheers glp friends. I would say to some degree, I avoid discussing anything related to politics or covid with co-workers, although I'm remote so it's a little different. The recent time I mentioned something about masks to someone, they just said "it's not that hard to wear one". I just left it at that, fuck, it's not that hard to wear one, so we should just do whatever we are told, regardless if it is justified, has any affect at all (it does not), or even legal depending on how it is implemented and the state. I am still verbose with my friends, but my family (outside of my house), I am not. People have their beliefs, they've been brainwashed, and anything can set them off. There are other topics to discuss. I'm not on a mission to change everyone's mind, I know what I believe and that's all that's important. |

I would truly hate to learn that anyone I know is someone that I really don’t know. So far, however, I’m pretty certain that I’ve been blessed to know very real people willing to say what they think.
