To all posters on this thread "but for" the First Amendment, you would have been unable to carry on with this written dialogue.

Some of you may want to go back and read why our founders urgently recognized the need to write and implement the Bill of Rights, with free speech becoming the First Amendment.

If being "offensive"were the deciding criteria for denying First Amendment Rights then I am afraid my friends that we would all be living in a totalitarian state .

Irrespective of its blemishes, be very grateful that you live in the greatest nations this world ever produced. And if you are religious kneel down and give thanks to Almighty God.

Personal Best Regards:
