If no, DeepUnderground Poetry is the perfect place for you

If yes, you will never be able to explore that notion on this website.

why post a jab at a website while participating in the community? isn't the fact that you can create this poll an example of free speech? or is that the point and i'm just confused?

Oh yes, this is exactly the meaning of free speech. Enter a house and insult the host. Sometimes though people can be a little confused. They don't know whether they are in or out.

Yep, I hear you, Grace-- nothing like some people thinking that they're above reproach and that rules and common courtesies, don't apply to them. Free speech isn't a protective umbrella to say whatever you want, to whom over you want, anytime you want.

Do you like my cock? Or do you like the picture of my cock? A rather broad question.....it depends upon what the definition of free speech is. Please be more specific.  I am a thought provoker...a title du gave me...

I think definition of "free speech" in social media is relative to that person's mood, and the reader might not vibe at the same sequence as the writer.

So... as per the poll I do believe in free speech. But,  for the comment I can't agree, but may be you just had a bad experience pouring your heart out.

And the title under your names doesn't mean how talented you are as a poet, its just a cool way of saying how often you use this site or how long you been  in the site.

Where's the "Depends" option?!

What a lacklustre question. Was hoping for something more. All rather ironic talking about free speech and then being overly miserly with the words so that barely anything is said.

What a waste of speech, but then again you have the freedom to be so carefree with such words. Perhaps learn that 'freedom of speech' is a privilege, rather than an unrestricted right to say anything and everything. Just some words to think on before the next move for better or for worse.

Right next to the other adult diapers in the feminine products and incontinence aisle at Walgreens.

I was going to comment but my fellow poets have it covered. I suppose I didn't need to comment at all but that's freedom of speech for you.
