Have you been asked these questions before? (Part 1)

Welcome back to the best blog on the internet! Okay, that's a lie, I do not take this seriously enough to consider it relevant in any way. But if you feel like sharing the blog I totally support the decision! Oh and thanks for all those amazing suggestions for this post... wait a second...... Moving on. Coming up with a title for a post is harder than coming up with content for the post. In case you were wondering. You probably weren't. So I came across a couple websites that list oddball questions that no one really ever answers. I will attempt a couple here, today. ARE YOU READY? *Que spongebob theme song* As a little disclaimer, I have not researched any of these prior to answering and basically will write the first thing that comes to mind. This will get interesting.. I hope. Or you might click away and then me = :( Jesus Jay you said you would never use a damn emoticon/emoji fuck whatever they're called. Alright, first one!

This post will probably suck

After flying back to school, and meeting a ton of exchange students (who are all awesome and make me jealous I was not born in Europe), we partied and all that jazz.. or like, EDM since no one listens to jazz probably because it's not 1977 anymore, and then reality set in and classes began. So far not too bad but this semester will probably include more work, and studying than all of college combined.. wonderful. Anyways, that's the catch up of the last few weeks. Now here I am, sitting trying to write about something that may actua...

Is Free Speech an Illusion?

As a heads up, I don't have expertise in this area, but I do have, likely, the same knowledge base as most people in "free speech" countries. Here in Canada free speech is pretty standard and well practiced. Today's big question is "Is free speech an illusion?" Here it goes. So everyone has some morals. Maybe I should play it safe and say most sane people have good morals. Pertaining to their "voice" about anything really, we can say just about anything, anywhere. But as decent people in a civilized culture, we don't, out of respect and just plain decency. We as individuals don't want to look bad just because we say something we don't really mean in passing. Or even if we do say something that negatively affects us or others, we aren't penalized by it in the eyes of the law. I'm sure there are some exceptions but I think you get the general idea. However, we are negatively impacted by our peers. This makes sense. People judge ...
