For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Is "free speech" dead in this country?

They're still on the California forum as of now. Maybe they're being moved to the Politics forum which is where they want you to discuss - you know, politics.

Yeah, but it's a California prop. I think it's more appropriate to speak with fellow Californians rather than, say, Texans or Georgians.

But this is a privately owned forum with their own rules. Free speech does not apply. Obviously they thought it was not right to discuss on the california forums(politics I guess?)

Right-O. Most ppl from other states know nothing about it. I only know about it as a gay man who tries to keep up with news and current events in my former home. I know that the moderator was rather curt and ultra defensive about her non-support of Prop 8. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

I think people in other states know about it. After all, a lot of money, for/against it, is coming in from other states.

True, but I don't want to listen to them saying they support it or oppose it because they don't get to vote on that issue.

tango,

you sure know how to hurt a guy i wish that i could have the pleasure of voting against it as i did for prop 22 in 2000. i've donated $75 for the cause and hope that californians see the light that it is wrong to discriminate.

I closed them because it was starting to get too heated. I do agree it is related to CA, but I don't think that people do a good enough job of restraining themselves from insulting others. I am not trying to squash the conversation, you can start another thread on the topic.

It's not that I don't appreciate your opinion or your contribution. I do, honestly. It's just that there may be people from other states, or maybe new members who don't tell us where they're from and say that they're voting one way or the other. If you lived here and were to vote no, I would appreciate that but at the same time I don't want to open it up to someone from Oklahoma talking about us evil heathens in California who are trying to turn the country into a liberal hotbed of immorality. But seriously, I appreciate that you're helping out the effort to strike down this horrible prop.
