Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech
He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.
Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.
That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.
At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.
Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.
Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.
INSANE: #RAIDERS LEGEND BO JACKSON TELLS MARSHAWN LYNCH WHEN HE โGOT GOTโ IN THE #NFL.
โWe were down on our 5 yard line so Iโm thinking about 95 yards. There was a LB, this brotha had muscles on his breath. He hit me on the 6 & dropped me at the 2โ

Potentially unpopular opinion:
Every time we tell an OL to โsit backโ or โkeep your chest upโ or โsit in your chairโ in their pass sets, we are just giving the DL a bigger and bigger target to work with when contact is made.
Keep your posture/demeanor from your stance while setting. We tell them to โcopy your stanceโ. They should look like we picked them up & set them back down in their new spot after each drive.
Not only will you have better balance, which will allow you to set faster, when that contact does happen you are in a more stable position to fight his pressure with pressure of your own.
Generation X: the forgotten latchkey rebels who mastered ironic detachment, shunned selling out, and quietly built an ethos of independence that's the perfect counter to today's performative culture.
Just leaving Seattle after watching @UW_MBB Prepare, Practice and run their clinic with @WIBCA and speaking at it. I knew Iโd be impressed with @UWCoachSprinks and the entire staff but I was far more inspired with the entire operation. This Program will win and soon. Developers !
Obama prosecuted more journalists using the Espionage Act than all presidents before him combined.
He arrested, jailed & tortured Chelsea Manning for revealing war crimes committed in our name.
He repealed the Smith-Mundt act which now allows the CIA/FBI to directly propagandize American citizens & infiltrate unions/ NGOโs/school boards/ & organizations of all kinds.
He deported 3 million Hispanics & built the cages Democrats protested against under Trump.
Obama took us from 2 wars to 7 wars while ramping up the drone bombings killing innocent people left & right.
He effectively repealed Habeas Corpus & gave the government the authority to jail people indefinitely without a trial.
Obama is a Myth pushed by the establishment & their bought media to make you think there was someone fighting for you while he was serving Banks, Big Pharma, the MIC & his corporate masters.
When you have the talent, a 'simple' defense can transfer all the execution anxiety onto the offense.
Sure, you need answers, but often, just the challenge of executing at a sustainable level can tip the scales back in favor of the defense.
No explosives, force long drives.
