Freedom of speech shouldn't allow you to.......say....


Exactly.....

You run a business and stand behind someone who says some incredibly insensitive shit like that, then tell me how the backlash goes when the public literally disowns you. The University should not have to put up with the aftermath of his opinion. Businesses have literally gone under from that kind of publicity.

If they aren't teaching my kids those things at school what do I care?

You're allowed to have beliefs here and express them. You should not be fired for expressing yourself off the clock.

Do you agree with non violent neo nazis being fired for expressing themselves off the clock?

We do have freedom of speech. That is what allows this guy to be fired.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you're immune to consequences. That's silly.

Nope. I don't agree with it no matter who you are or what you say off the clock.

That's simply wrong. This is no different from a con/lib right-leaning person being fired for saying there are two genders, or that Ghostbusters 2016 is a terrible movie, or criticizing BLM.

Free Speech should be extended to everyone.

You run a business and stand behind someone who says some incredibly insensitive s*** like that


So, you should lose your job because you hurt someone's feelings. Okay.

No different from the SJW's and "snowflakes" this board derides so much.

Nope. I don't agree with it no matter who you are or what you say off the clock.

So if I know you chant "Death to the Jews" off the clock, I should be forced to continue my association with you? What about my freedom?

None of those are telling people that they deserve a natural disaster.

His position is also relevant as to why he was fired.

Look at all these assmad liberals lol. I guess freedom of speech only has consequences when the right says stupid offensive shit.

@voldothegr8 who are you even talking about here? Only the one guy seems angry and he's not a liberal at all.

If you do not see a difference between "Ghostbusters was a terrible movie" and "the people suffering in Texas deserve it because they voted for Trump," then your brain is fucking broken.

I don't feel bad for him being fired at all, shouldn't have said stupid shit. I would really hope there aren't people agreeing with this but were bitching about the dudes at that rally getting fired as well.

You really think conservatives were the only ones upset at a dude saying Houston deserved a hurricane?
