Contrary to popular belief, you actually do not have that on message boards nor does freedom of expression mean freedom of saying things without consequences.

Heh, not that I expect these kinds of people (those whose only counterargument to something they don't like is to post up tasteless gifs or links to videos) to bother reading something with substance, but I think [url=https://theadminzone.com/threads/message-board-freedom-of-speech.36788/]this[/url] is an example of what you were aiming at with that comment.

I'm all for freedom of speech myself; in fact my forthright nature and general dignity means I refuse to allow myself to be supressed by anyone, but I firmly believe that freedoms only truly belong in the hands of those mature enough to take responsibility for them; you don't [i]have[/i] rights to speak your mind, you [i]earn[/i] them. Laws exist for those who aren't mature enough to possess a self-enforced code of conduct (think how children don't have certain rights compared to adults; in my eyes the same applies for mental maturity, not just physical); those who lack the wisdom to do good of their own volition. Whether they live under the laws of others or choose to defy them, those who lack this wisdom are shackled to their base instincts and inner demons just like animals; they have no real freedom.

I'm the type who refuses to allow myself to be controlled by others, so I take responsibility for the power of my will.

Like I said already, we don't need morons ruining a thread that can allow people to vent their frustrations and get some empathy from fellow role-players (or at least get some empathy from the fellow role-players who actually possess the wisdom and mental aptitude to be capable of empathy; I know there's plenty of superficial people here who fail to realize role-playing is a hobby driven by community and that other people are not merely tools for the role-player's escapism or shallow-minded amusement).
