"OK, have fun. Enjoy your right to free speech. The armed forces welcomes your dissent."
“LARGER FREE SPEECH ZONE”
lol never noticed that sign before
There's someone who could have used a mother.
WHORE!
Edit: downvoters don't know arrested development. And it shows.
UP YOURS, GRANNY!
This looks like some particularly ironical art installation that will fly above the head of most viewers..
Even if it’s not the intent of putting it there, that’s literally what it is now.
The U.S. Supreme Court determined that airports could not be considered a public forum to practice free speech. According to the ruling, airports exist solely for air travel and not for free expression.
Prior to the court’s decision, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a not-for-profit religious corporation, would often practice going into public places to distribute literature and asking for donations to support their religion.
Since 1992, airports across the country have adopted regulations governing speech, such as Lambert’s “Free Speech” booths.
I’m not flying, I’m traveling! AM I BEING DETAINED taser noises
What a shithole country.
Wait, how? Not like in general, obviously it sucks here, but how is this particularly egregious....?
He just really likes getting handed pamphlets.
Because no where else in the world with free speech is this considered at all, let alone considered a good idea.
You think ya'll don't have community spaces? I have 100% seen things like this flying into numerous European countries and in the larger train stations, they just didn't have the obnoxiously ostentatious signs (which I sorta appreciate having, though it's form is laughable it's a decent warning about what's going on there so you can avoid it like the plague). It's pretty common to have some sort of designated managed space within public spaces, with an admitted abstraction it's not all that different from getting parade permits or reserving space in a park.
You think this is a community space?
What a shithole country.
I think that's commonly what things like this are called, do you have a better name? Regardless of that though, that doesn't really address that this is a very common concept across a great many cultures, most likely including your own.
What?
So is that like a podium? You get into the booth and can hold a speech?
Yeah, basically. They're not uncommon, usually the way it works is you can reserve the booth as a representative of a non-disruptive, non-commercial group then go there and hand out your pamphlets on how ankles are sinful or collect signatures for a ballot initiative or just generally ramble on about how knitting is lizardpeople math. Do whatever, you just can't approach people outside the little defined space.
I always knew lizardpeople were behind knitting. Thanks for the confirmation.
Are you allowed to say, "bomb" when you stand behind the counter?
Sure. But.
Story time:
I was once annoyed at the airport x-ray and joked something like "duh, of course there's a bomb in my bag 🙄".
The security guy then said: "I know you're joking, you know you're joking, but I now must search your luggage thoroughly. Congratulations."
Lesson learned: never say "bomb" in an airport. You might have the right, but it will make your & other people's day shittier.
I want to make their days shittier, thanks for the tip
I think Milwaukee has similar
Bring your own helmets
This kind of shit makes me want to stand somewhere deliberately away from it and protest free speech being restricted to "zones."
You'd have better luck protesting in the free speech zone as protesting is strictly prohibited outside of the free speech zone.
Is this the Terminal 1 baggage claim area?
The qyestion is is that nooth in the secure part of terminal? And if it is, can it really be considered "free speech" if you need to purchase a ticket to get in that part of airport to use it?
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
