Thinking about it I may have offended two major religions - Hinduism and SRK

No reason for the pic

So you intentionally offended Hinduism to make a point & then went on to gloat about the fact that your post was removed , thats exactly the kind of thing that i was talking about with respect to absolute freedom of speech which does not care for context & intent..

I dare say you expected Hindus to not be offended by it due to "absolute freedom of speech" .. well that argument is valid if you are dealing with people supporting "absolute freedom of speech" ,i on the other hand go by context & intent ..and yes i also happen to be a Hindu ..so there is that too.. 😊

So you want a society where anything under the roof is allowed huh...

1) Blacks are nothing but modified apes and they should go find the jungle than pollute the society with their dirty skin.
2) Faggots should be beheaded for hunting down the "wrong" hole.
3) Muslims are the scumbags of today's world.
4) Christians should be crucified like Jesus because we have Bush.
5) Indians are all horny rapists.
And yada, yada, yada, I can go on...

Now if such statements and free will to say anything and everything doesn't lead to a dysfunctional or volatile society, I shall be the first to stand in line to defend such a "tolerant" take on freedom of speech. But Oopsie daisy, is this really a "tolerant" society considering it itself goes against the very definition of tolerance for not being able to tolerate views, people, religion or culture one doesn't readily agree with.

Also with your logic, even bullying, verbal abuse etc etc should also be allowed after all they are using their freedom of speech and not necessarily "biting". Just nonchalant barks. It's the victims who shouldn't be affected with such barks.

--------------

Point is freedom of speech ain't really "free". If you really think people won't take offense or get affected regardless of what is being blurted, you don't know much about Human Psyche nor are you aiming for a smooth ride with the already screwed up dynamics of the world. Freedom of speech ain't a matter of black or white or is it mutually exclusive to be abused.

A) You said "f**k this ,f**k that & then f**k the Hanuman "

B) I dont know if you are a Hindu , even if you are it doesnt make much of difference to your context & intent.

C) You used it take out your frustration on AIB & included that comment with an obvious intention to offend people & make your point , ergo , there is no question of dismissing it as " kidding" .. who are you trying to kid here ?

D) Its good that you FINALLY support "Absolute Freedom of speech" & AIB which you were so intent to mock earlier .. now did i not say "absolute freedom of speech" will lead to utter chaos making it difficult to make head & tail of a predicament .. thank you for proving it so effortlessly.. 😆
