@TomiLahren When they ask you to buy them a drink. Let me offer you a drink, after I feel you’re worth having a drink with. Why buy someone a drink that you don’t vibe with. Not buying you a drink just because you’re a woman. Rather buy cool dude a drink than do that.
Benjamin Franklin had a complicated view of free speech, anticipating the implicit danger of liars in Congress and the dangers they represented to our Republic. This quote depicts the double-edged sword inherent in such a posture. It certainly reverberates on this very day:
"If by the liberty of the press were understood merely the liberty of discussing the propriety of public measures and political opinions, let us have as much of it as you please: But if it means the liberty of affronting, calumniating and defaming one another, I, for my part, own myself willing to part with my share of it, whenever our legislators shall please so to alter the law and shall cheerfully consent to exchange my liberty of abusing others for the privilege of not being abused myself." - Benjamin Franklin (1789)
