    Has anyone ever had problems with college officials with regards to what you say or wear?

    Nope.

    I'm guessing you have, or you're planing on doing so. :)

    Or maybe you're just curious.

    Did you say you were gonna burn down the Arts Block if they didn't pass you? That might be pushing free speech a bit :D

    What did you do anyway?

    Have a look at some of his other posts; there aren't that many to wade through.

    It doesn't matter what I did or didn't do. You would probably disagree with what I had or hadn't said. I am curious as to people claiming their right to free speech, but told to shut up because of peoples right to not be 'harassed' in the workplace. How can the problem be addressed when the problem bans free speech?
    I disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
    It's dangerous to be right in matters in which the established authorities are wrong.

    Judging by your other posts I'm guessing you were blathering on about race matters. So if you were told to shut it I have no sympathy for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭folan


    with the right to free speech, there is a responsibility not to use it to harass. Im not really sure what you mean here, but no, after 4 years in the college, never hassled about anything i said or did outside of a debate.

    And the debate was in good spirits. people disagreed with me, adn some of my friends got alot more flack than me. but at the end of the day, the debate was interesting and good fun.

    It is more so political. The whole purpose of opposition parties is to right the wrongs of the governing party. Once the word 'race' is mentioned people turn away, not wanting to listen. If liberals believe they are so right, they should be able to listen to opposing views, analyse their points, and put forward a counter argument. How are people supposed to educate themselves when they do not want to listen. Are you all sheep? Are you going to blindly follow the lies of the liberal government? Or will you make your own decisions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭folan


    I'm going to bow out on these two points.

    1) what i believe you are speaking about is not your right to free speech and expression, its more the frustration that you are not being heard, or more appropriately in this case i believe, your view is not the common one.

    2) while you have a right to free speech, you neither have the right to force others to listen, nor the right to argue your point with everyone. in a University or college setting, there is a right for students not to be harassed or have another's views pushed upon them. the university body has a responsibility to ensure a comfortable envoirnment for all its students, and so may impose regulations to ensure this occurs.

    finally,
    I'd rather be happy than right any day!

    I see you're a member of stormfront. You're opinons are disgusting. How did a close minded racist idiot like yourself think you'd be viewed in an open liberal university like Maynooth? If you don't like it you're more than welcome to leave. Which would make the majoirty of us happy

    I am, but what makes you think i'm a racist? I'm a racialist. There is a difference. LeixlipRed, a communist no doubt. You're probably one of those idiots who wears Che Guevara t shirts and CCCP hoodies without knowing anything about them. If you're so anti-racist, why would you love Ernesto Guevara so much?
    The negro is indolent and lazy, and spends all his money on frivolities, whereas the European man is forward thinking, hard working and intelligent.
    -Ernesto 'Che' Guevara

    He was a sadist and a criminal, he enjoyed murdering people because they were a negro or gay.

    How dare you assume what my opinions are just because i'm a member of Stormfront.org. You know nothing about me or my ideals.

    I have the right to education, I will not be forced out by liberal bullies and their brainwashing techniques.

    Its funny the way people automatically assume i'm right wing because I demanded my right to free speech. Liberals can say whatever they want, conservatives get a boot in the face.

    You are some tool you know that? The Red is because I'm a Shelbourne supporter. Pop over to Logic on a Friday will you and I'll explain it to you in more detail. Your sloping brow and the pain of your knuckles dragging everywhere probably distracts you from the truth

    People assume you're right wing because in some other post on this message board you say you belong to stormfront

    The truth?! Me!? No you are the nihilist here. White Nationalism is not based on hate like the KKK, it is based on love and preservance of culture.

    You are the nihilist! Read this http://www.americancivilrightsreview.com/african101facts1.html

    You say "You are the nihilist" like I suggested you are one. Which you obviously aint. You couldn't contain hatred towards other races if you were a nihilst for example. And I'm sure you and your White Nationalist buddies teach unconditional love do you or is it just love based on the colour of your skin? My breakfast is feeling dodgy in my stomach even conversing with someone like you

    He was taking art, but failed because he wouldn't put any paint or colours on the paper because it would ruin the purity and glory of it's whiteness

    What's White Nationalism anyway?

    Do you do Irish Dancing? Play Hurling? Speak Irish most of the time?

    What does WN involve? :confused:
