speech

Today it was slammed home to me that my speech has gotten to the point where people who don't know me very well (and even some who do) are having trouble understanding me over the phone. At this, point, there are two solutions. 1) I use a text-to-speech machine, type what I want, and have the...

this post is done with Microsoft's speech. while it's not perfect , it does seem to save a lot of time when you see by Samsung Q1, which has no keyboard . does anyone else use Microsoft speech and if so do you have any tips and tricks?

I had this argument wh some righty over free speech and Kramers rant. I always find it funny when republicans bring up free speech. Then a theory hit me. The only time righties bring up free speech is when they are defending some bigot. Am I wrong?

Do not have any liquid in your mouth when you start reading these. You've been warned.

US Protocol crumbles on Hu visit. Okay, so it's not surprising that the Chinese, with their dreadful human rights record, would pull the plug on this woman. [SIZE=2] And I can just about see that a good host would apologise for embarrassment caused to a guest. And I guess that someone...

I know alot of Euro countries talk a big game when it comes to free speech. But dont more of a few of them have laws against promting nazism and hate speech. Would those cartoons be considered hate speech legal in certain Euro countries?

It seems that things are running a bit amok up north. and this Sounds a bit like thought crime. I am a strong believer in freedom of speech and I find this PCness very, very troubling.

Huh? You mean Bush was actually going to sign the treaty? :p

I'm currently watching Bush's speech on the war in Iraq and he laughingly called on people to continue to sacrifice (as though he knew the meaning of the word on the same level as anyone else involved). He suggested that Americans see the war in Iraq through to the end in order that the...

The FEC, as we've discussed here before, may be about to apply the restrictions on free speech and free press that the campaign "reform" laws comprise onto the Internet, the last bastion of free speech in our society. A bill, S.678, is currently going through the Senate. This bill, an absolute...

And I'm not talking about Thailand. I just came from a convenience store and this young guy and his girl were in there. They had that look and sound in their voices like you do when you first get out of bed. They probably...you know...then decided to go out and get something to eat or drink...

Good evening everyone. I am trying to find, if it exists, a audio file on line, of Carl Sagan making his Pale Blue Dot speech. I can find a transcript no problem, but does a recording exist anywhere? JPK

The last thread seemed that members were more concerned about the content of speech then the right and the forum it is presented in. Lawrence Summers President of Harvard University in a speech given in a public forum with the expressed intention to ferment debate has caused an uproar. The area...

This is one of the reasons that free speech in this country is so important. With free speech you know where all the lunatics, and hate mongers are. Without free speech they fester and grow underground without anyone disputing their claims, and they become martyrs when they are denied the...
