Description
I have a few purposes for making this stamp. First of all, I wanted to see about using Adobe ImageReady to make my animated .gif (I believe I have done so pretty successfully - the stamp looks good and you will notice that the file is considerably smaller than my other animated stamps).Also, this stamp sort of goes along with another stamp about making offensive artwork. [link]
As I was saying in the comments of my related stamp, freedom of expression is a two way street. If you want to be able to say whatever you want, part of that right includes the other guy's right - under freedom of expression - to argue the point.
I can most readily supply examples from my observations as a Christian. It goes both ways. Atheists - if you throw around terms like "Sky Wizard", "Zombie Offspring" and suchlike, don't cry "bigot" when people tell you to knock it off. Christians - If you're going to keep throwing Psalm 14:1 around out of context or calling April 1 national Atheists' Day, don't cry "persecution" when those on the receiving end of your insults give you a nice cup of STFU.
Next time you want to make a big fuss about "Freedom of Expression", remember that you're not the only one who has it.

Don't you love people who cry Freedom Of Speech while acting like it only applies for them?

Yep. Like I've said, I've seen it go both ways. I know somebody (not here on dA, but on another site where such things are discussed) insisted on using terms like "Zombie Jesus" and whatnot. I very politely told that person that people would be far more likely to take him seriously if he didn't resort to name-calling. The person then proceeded to give me a four-letter-word-laced lecture on freedom of expression, totally missing the point of what I had said.

It kinda makes me laugh when people do this. xD As in, they'll make an offensive comment beyond all reason and then take offense when you argue back. I never have understood that. :/

It should be a no-brainer, right?

Haha, yeah, you'd think. xD

Karma's a very interesting thing, innit?
Exercise your rights without ruining everyone else's, then we'll be closer to equality.
