I always feel like somebody's watching me. And I have no privacy. -Rockwell

    If someone came up and told me that the government was coming to arrest me for simply writing my opinion...I would be like "What the heck man?" Our first amendment states that we have freedom of speech. So let's go back to arresting me, you're saying that I have the power to say whatever I want but at the same time you're going to put me in jail for it?
         What's the point of that?! If we lived in a world where we couldn't voice our opinions it would feel like we are all prisoners; always fearing if what we are saying is going to get us into trouble. In the book 1984, by George Orwell shows us the life of people who don't have any freedom and let me tell you, it doesn't end well. People are born to speak, so let them! What kind of people would try and take that away from you?


       I'll tell you what kind of people Reem, people who want to keep you safe, people who care about your well being. You keep thinking that it's a bad thing, but what if someone is out there conspiring against the government right now?! You think we should let them be, let them have their "freedom of speech" because that's our "right" 
Well screw our rights! I would much rather be safe, you can do all the talking you want, go right ahead but all they are asking is for you to not post anti-government stuff/opinion articles. Why are you arguing with something that is only meant for your own good?

  1. I love George Orwell's Animal Farm. I want to read 1984 now.
