Since people like to go through my previous threads to try and undermine my point of view in off-topic discussions, I might as well share this thread which may alter your opinions:
I'm not in the best of shape, as I admit. However my diet has changed and I do have more energy now. My kidneys still hate me for the levels of Coca-Cola I normally drank.
As my previous thread was locked by moderators for a reason I'm not too sure about (maybe because it was getting heated or people thought I was trolling, however the reason doesn't matter).
A lot of people may misunderstand certain aspects of who I was and who I am. While I'm serious now, I wasn't always serious. In fact, when I was younger I enjoyed doing some "reckless" and "outrageous" things purely for the fun - Which I am still proud of today. There is not a single thing in my past in which I am ashamed off. I am proud of everything, even my mistakes.
I can understand why a lot of people won't tolerate me exercising my freedom of speech, however, I only bite my tongue for people who need my help or assistance. I'm not going to consciously censor myself to keep someone in some sort of haze. I enjoy speaking freely and speaking my mind. And it's fine. If you don't like what I say, then leave the situation. I'm not forcing anyone to listen to me. And people who automatically assume that if someone says something disrespectful or darn out outrageous they should have violence committed against them for it, is purely un-American and against our freedoms of expression and freedoms of speech. Everyone has that right, whether it be WBC (who I absolutely hate) or someone who is brutally honest and speaks his mind and opinion.

That conversation simply came off as property, like men sit around buying and trading women as some sort of goods for a service.
You don't have to censor yourself, but don't be surprised you end up alone to enjoy your freedom of speech. No one should cause you physical harm, but I could understand how someone would be enraged to the point of raising their voice with you in an offended tone.
You have the right to freedom of speech, and the world has the right to ignore you while you isolate yourself further.
I am not a neocon. I'm closer to Ron Paul and then Obama before any GOP Republicans. Also why can't a Brit be a Libertarian?
A Brit can be a Libertarian but that's like me saying I identify with the Labour Party when I don't live in the UK...it's just not seen too often.

What does this have to do with your topic?
Are you a British citizen living in the US or are you an American citizen or what? You say you have a British accent and you are a Brit but now you're talking about un-American principles. Which is it?
City-data is not owned by the government so you can't say whatever you want here. If you are an American then you need to read up on the First Amendment. Also, the nature of posting on forums means people will disagree. You can say "what you want" (not really) but so can anyone else.
US Citizen, spent a lot of my childhood in England.
