Re: Ellen DeGeneres Discusses The Recent Tragic Death

A brief explanation of why Freedom of Speech is NOT the reason why people should say anything they want in my opinion.

I also do not mean to wrong any groups in general, christian or other.

Do not focus comments on what is wrong about any group in your opinion, etc.

I stopped watching your video after I saw the "straight and married" thing pop up above your head. Why on EARTH would you put that there if this is a response to a horrific happening where a young boy gets killed because of his sexual orientation. Would it matter if we thought you were gay, too? I guess so. So then what's the point in even making the video? I have so many things I could say to you, but I'll be the mature one and leave it with what I already put.

@baileysababy6 And I have to point out the obvious here. Making a judgment on me based off an assumption without asking why doesn't make you mature because you didn't opt for negatively acting on your assumption.

Do not assume anything from a little fact popping up, especially when something to add transparency to where the person is coming from. You don't know me; it's best to before jumping on a high horse and ride off in to the sunset from a person you didn't exchange a single word with.

@baileysababy6 I put that up there because

A) lots of comments & messages that could be easily avoided by saying I'm married and straight, as that is the case.

B) It seems like there are fewer straight than gay saying what I did.

If you want to judge me for putting up a couple facts about myself and then ASSUMING why then that's you're problem, not mine.

People in this nation didn't die so that you can call someone a fag, but also people in this nation didn't die so that you can call someone an idiot. Practice what you preach.

[whydoyouwork]

@daw8653 Idiot is a word, NOT a slang; and used in specific context that fits it's definition.

But you're right; I shouldn't speak up when people are abusing a right and using a word with a specific definition.I did practice what I preached, and there's a big "IF" attached; not ignorance.

Ah finally.

The distinction between Freedom of Speech and Hate Speech.

Articulate and accurate. Thanks.

only people like you should be allowed to vote, I hate people that support Hillary that aren't going to support Obama and instead rather vote for McCain to me thats just pure racist. Hillary and Obama have much more in common than Hillary and McCain do.

daw8653- 100% agreed.

[whydoyouwork]

You're right... It was a generalization only meant to show that there is still a wide separation in thoughts when it comes to the north and south in some regards. That's all; not a wide brush to cover unique areas... I only had 10 minutes :)

and you're a moron.
