Eh, when you read my blog hoh, what you think hoh… this girl hoh…

… very experienced?

… not very experienced?

… no experience at all?

… very experienced pretending to be not experienced?

or or or…

Shy lah dunno how to ask. Ok. Eh do you think I'm a virgin?

I was wondering, seeing the reaction of some people who went bazookas the day I posted that sweeping statement

Freedom of speech is a privilege that is often misunderstood by many as a right.

I say it here: it was MY statement, and it was SWEEPING and I don't mind taking the flack for ruffling a few feathers here and there. But since I'm at it, I'll also do this, you know, take some lines off the Oxford Dictionary.

right >> noun
2 moral / legal claim ~ (to sth / to do sth) a moral or legal claim to have or get sth or to behave in a particular way:
Everyone has a right to a fair trial. * You have no right to stop me from going in there. * What gives you the right to do that? * She had every right to be angry. * You're quite within your rights to ask for your money back. * By rights (= if justice were done) half the money should be mine. * There is no right of appeal against the decision. * Education is provided by the state as of right (= everyone has a right to it). * The property belongs to her by right. * They had fought hard for equal rights. * animal rights campaigners

Now compare that against the meaning of the word 'privilege'

privilege >> noun
1 a special right or advantage that a particular person or group of people has:
Education should be a universal right and not a privilege. * You can enjoy all the benefits and privileges of club membership. * Try not to abuse the privilege of being allowed more freedom.
4 (technical) a special right to do or say things without being punished:
parliamentary privilege (= the special right of members of parliament to say particular things without risking legal action) * breach of privilege (= the breaking of rules about what a member of parliament can say and do)

Now I say this, go take your pick as to you how you want to decide on the status of that overused, overbanged 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'. Right or privilege?

I say the latter gives it more value, hence my sweeping statement. But of course, you have the right to choose.
