lmao freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means people can moderate their forums however they wish
I don't know what got deleted and what the fight is/was about, but here is a general example how freedom of speech normally works and what its limits are:
just want to point out i didnt et anything deleted and a mod must of seen the comment section as he deleted all messages
i can't understand why ppl who lives in usa says "america" as if it was only usa and maybe canada, america has more countries than only those two
The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America restricts the federal government. Free Speech is recognized by the United States to be a universal human right. Do not conflate the two.
That was a very good comparison and I can agree with it. The America part was overboard who cares the world (including the internet) should have freedom of speech. Regardless you made a great point and I can accept it that way no problem. I will admit when I am wrong and I apologize. I think that is something that is lacking in this world is admitting when you are wrong. Thank you for a good example, I will remember it.
I agree too bad its what calmed me down in the first place by dissipating anything negative with humor and if you are laughing you cant be upset or unhappy at the same time.
As for an answer to this. My wife is from brazil and she had the same issue with "Americans" saying they are America. I had a hard time trying to explain that to her. The best I came up with is Americans or America is a simplified version of the country's entire name. But you cant call ppl from the USA, "united statsians," its not proper english and sounds terrible. Just like you cant call ppl from the UK, united kingdomians or something to the nature so you call them British. The other countries on the American continents such as Brazil, Mexico, chili and so on all have country names that can be used i.e. Brazilian. So yes while they all live on the "American" continents their name does not include the word American. Furthermore no American I have every met, and since I live there I have met thousands, ever think of themselves as the only "country of the American continents." Also the countries of the American continents were all founded some time after the USA declared independence from Britain. Thus making the USA the first to call themselves "Americans" since the names of the north and south american continents werent named until after the US became a sovereign nation. Thats just reality and I looked up online when the other countries were founded and they were founded after the US declared independence and began calling themselves "Americans."
yes you can and feel free to but those US citizens grew up culturally calling themselves Americans as its the major Pronoun of the whole name of the country just like people would say "I'm south African" not a SA citizen. The other countries in Africa also call themselves by their country names quite often when they say for example "I'm Ethiopian" and yes they also call themselves African but most people from African countries called themselves from their country like Nigerians, etc. But South Africans call themselves South Africans but they are aware that there are numerous countries in African. IDK if its helping you understand but I hope it has helped.
