Freedom of Speech Freedom of Expression

At http://www.sweminator.com/sweminator_blog/2013/02/19/freedom-of-speech/  My brother put up a blog that is entitled "Freedom of Speech   Freedom of Expression"  As I hit that this morning, below is the reply that i left him. While he brings up a very good point about who can see what, I am not so smart. You will understand soon!


Hi,
My name is Jim Swem. I am 6’3″ naked, i range between 275 – 300 pounds, did seven years in the United States Army and was born circa 1963.

I burp, I fart, often don’t shave and typically only brush my teeth about 3 times a week.

Somewhere near the beginning of the end of my second marriage, we were working with a marriage counselor. During a conversation in session, I apparently spoke my mind. As we were leaving at the end of that session, I was asked to remain behind for a few minutes… Once it was just the shrink and I, he said to me,”you don’t sugar coat anything do you?” I told him very politely that no one has ever accused me of beating around the bush. Did I forget to mention I’m a Scorpio?

Politically Correct is tough. I have learned over the years to put a clutch on my tongue when it comes to swearing – I don’t need my kids dropping the “f” bomb at school. I ask of my friends that when the kids are around, that they do not cuss either.

I was raised with manors, common sense and the ability to think and work for and on my own. More often than not, this has cost me a few jobs. Even though on their application they require the ability to “work on ones own” when it comes down to it, they do not like that, nor do they like when you actually act on your own to get something done.

Freedom of speech…. FUCK YOU. !
Freedom of expression….. ::face the mirror:: flip yourself off. (thank you)

How about get your self a sense of freakin’ humor? That’s what we need more of. Nobody can take a joke any more. I’m driving down the road, checking out the guys hot chick, in the car next to me and the dude has to get all pissed off and flip me off. Now I gotta flip him off… how about just saying, yup, she’s hot, and keep on driving! Sense of humor.
How about as my boss, when you don’t like the way i am doing something, and i ask you how you would do it, instead of showing me sticks and mud, you don’t get all pissy when I tell you that just a few years ago they invented the wheel. It goes round and round and makes things work much smoother??

Freedom of speech is such a relevant thing… where are your feet at this moment in time? What is your mind set when you read/hear something? Are you offended because your pissed the wife didn't do you this morning? Are you happy because she did?? Does the news of the loss of a child rip your heart out because you have lost two of your own? So where are your feet right now? Even as we read this, you have know way of seeing my facial expressions. Do you know if i am laughing at this while i write it, or am I pissed that you are a dumb ass?

The beauty of it all of is that we live in America. I can and am writing this for you to read. Next time someone asks to see ID when you are buying beer, ask them what country they woke up in this morning. Politely explain to them that you do not need papers to cross the lines in this country. If they still ask for ID, ask for their manager. If that person does not have the common manners to see that you are old enough not to use an acne Clearasil pad, and still wishes to see your ID, explain to them that the beauty of this country is our freedom. Wish them a nice day and walk off. Go to the local quickie mart and get your beer. Freedom of Speech AND Freedom of Expression all in one shot.

Have a Nice Day – he says with a smile !!
