Freedom Ride

Front page, LA Times, Jury rules against 10 Muslim students.

According to the story, the students disrupted the speech the University of Irvine had asked the Israeli ambassador, Michael Oren, to make. While we’ve all seen speakers shouted down were exceptions made due to ethnicity. If the disruptor’s would have been, Irish for example, would they have been charged?

The real question should be: Does my right to freedom of speech allow me to take that same right away from another?

Curious as to your thoughts.

Your freedom of speech has limits , like no yelling fire in a theatre. If somebody heckles the president during one of his speeches , they will be removed , no matter what ethnicity they are .There is a limit to all speech especially hate speech.. that is against the law.

just some ideas,
and what are some things that we can do in america that are simple things involving freedom of press but you cant do in other countries or you’ll be punished.
THANXXXXXXX soooo much

Years ago, the press was unbiased and really helped the people know the truth and the whole story with the facts. That allowed the people to make good logical decisions. That is the reason for a free press. What we have today is the main stream media (CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MS-NBC, etc.) have all been taken over by liberals and their reporting is biased and nothing but propaganda for Democrats.

Watch the documentary called _The Secret_ (2006). Here’s a description:

When islam does not stand for democracy, freedom and human rights?

Because i strongly believe that if islam continues to make crossroads in to our western lands the way its happening in 30 years time (I will be dead by then) your children and their children will be living in an islam dominated west devoid of democracy , freedom and human rights?

How can you disagree with me?

I don’t disagree with you.

Is freedom joy ?

freedom can bring joy, but that is not the point. Being free is the ability to make your own decisions. When you are enslaved by sin, you have your decisions made for you.

Do you think that the same sex rights and freedom should be included in canadian charter of rights? why?
explain 2 paragraphs !

They already are. All Canadians are guaranteed equal treatment under the law. There is no provision for special laws based on sexual orientation.

What new laws or rights of Canadian people were added to the NEW Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom? I am talking about the one that was created with the Constitution Act of 1982.
I read somewhere that when the Constitution Act of 1982 was created, it came with the Amending Formula and a NEW Charter of rights and freedom.
so i want to know what did the new Canadian charter of rights and freedom include that the old one didnt?

The "old" Charter was actually known as the "Canadian Bill of Rights".

Now I’m not 100% certain on this, but I’m fairly sure the subsection 2 in what is now known as Section 15 of the Charter was added…

"(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability."

Did God think that civil rights and freedom were not important?

Actually there is mention of both in the Bible if you know where to look.

Romans 8:21 – "That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance ] into the glorious freedom of God’s children"

Galatians 5:1 – "In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [ and completely liberated us ] stand fast then, and do not be hampered and ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [ which you have once put off ]

Galatians 5:13 – "For you bretheren, were [ indeed ] called to freedom; only [ do not let ] your freedom be an incentive to flesh and and an opportunity or excuse [ for selfishness ], but through love you should serve one another"

Also: regarding "civil rights": Romans chapter 13 I won’t quote the whole chapter but just give it a read. Christ also said "Give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God’s that is God’s" in all four Gospels.

True freedom is not being able to do totally "as you please". That’s why our society has the problems it does

God clearly favored the Hebrews in their flight from Egyptian slavery. Does he similarly take sides in battles for oppressed peoples denied freedom and human rights when they rise up against oppressive regimes?

Yes. God designed us to be free and endowed us with inalienable rights. Faced with theocratic tyranny or totalitarian communism, people must work for freedom, and sometimes fight for freedom.

Freedom isn’t free. Theocratic tyrants and totalitarian communists are not reasonable people troubled by conscience. They prosper by keeping a foot firmly planted on their victims’ heads.

See Luke’s Parable of the Tenants for an example of how Jesus commended war against a vicious and implacable enemy.

Also: How are the market decisions(production and purchasing of goods) made in this economic system? How would individual rights and freedom be affected if the governmant made all the market decisions?

Please, do your own homework.

Market decisions are based on value. Value is based on choice. Choice is based on freedom.
