F*&k the Draft (June 7, 1971)

- On April 26, 1968 a 19 year old man called Paul Cohen walked into the Los Angeles County Courthouse to testify in a case for a friend. This, in and of itself, isn’t noteworthy. Why Mr. Cohen would have his name stenciled into the history books is because of something that was in turn stenciled on his jacket- the words “FUCK THE DRAFT. STOP THE WAR”. This would set off a chain of events that would change the face of Freedom of Speech in America forever.

Yes, we realize the irony of using grawlixes in the title, but the UA-cam Gods care not for Freedom of Speech. ;-)
*Also: Justice John Marshall HARLAN. We're pulling double shifts here. ;-)
*not ^_^
Whoopsadoodle. ;-)
...wait. it's called a grawlix? wow. teaching me new stuff all the time, guys.
Heart this thread. A lot going on. Yes, F*$k UA-cam and their puny gods, BTW. Perhaps someone was too busy looking up "grawlixes". However; "Whoopsadoodle" FTW.
Freedom of speech of course only applies to the state and government. UA-cam, being a private entity, is not subject to extending the protection of the first amendment to its users or its creators, and they have every right to choose who they wish to do business with vis a vis demonetization and bans. Hooray for that. :\
God I'm so turned on hearing Simon swear.
Tobias Mills Sempai noticed you!!
It must be his accent?
Giggity
It was hotter than I was prepared for 😏
Fuck Yea! Wonder if he knows how sexxy he is?
Hearing Simon swear is the greatest thing I've ever heard
That unsuprisingly very interesting. Really like these new videos.
That Terence Guy Yes,they are simple but I enjoy them more
Hearing Simon swear is like hearing Patrick Stewart's voice on American Dad
A little bit of history that is so prudent in today's culture. Free speech is absolute.
I just love the fact he accidentally helped set such judicial precedence which really is so imperative in our country.
And the woman who stenciled it, too!
Technically no as there was a ruling that you cant cause mass chaos such as yelling fire in a crowded theater
No, it isn't. There's the classic example of not having the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You can't encourage another person to commit a crime. There are other restrictions. No right can be absolute, because life is not black and white, and the courts can set limits on those freedoms if they're deemed necessary.
Fuck the "if they deem it necessary" bullshit. The exception should only be "if it doesn't overlap someone else's rights", like in the case of causing mass chaos, which leads to bodily harm. Integrity of feelings, though, isn't a right, because people's feelings can be in conflict, and it's impossible to prove.
I do swear, from time to time, and do so to make a pronounced point. It is true that constant use of profanity dulls the sharpness of the word so when I do use colorful metaphors it REALLY makes an impression. Speaking to someone who swears several times a sentence versus someone who no one has ever heard swear cut loose the difference in reaction is, well, hilarious, and my point is made and remembered.
jaspr1999 I guess that's important if you talk to much and never say anything memorable.
I swear like a fucking sailor. Yet when I speak people listen. It is less the words you use, and more how you use them. The fact that you tend to judge people who do use swear words more often speaks highly to your intelligence. As it is proven that more intelligent people swear more often. Just saying.
Beer Czarcofigus, Who said I didn't swear? I actually said the opposite of that. I just rarely use them. Most people see me as a grandpa so they are rather shocked when I cut loose. Now, in my early years, I cussed every other word. Age tends to give you time to think of the reactions of people a bit.
You said it "dulls the sharpness of the word." Which is not true. Depends on the ear that hears it. Meaning you tend to judge those who curse often. As evident in how you compare those who do, with thise who don't. Or in your case "from time to time." An old man swearing at all is shocking to most. Myself not included. I don't ever hear them to be honest. They are words that carry emotion. No matter how often they are used. If you are giving the words less clout when used more often. It would be fair to say that it isn't the words you are hearing, it is your perception of the person using them.
And if a person reacts negatively to my use of fuck amd shit, I stop talking to them. It's not worth my time.
This series has thus far been exceptional. Thanks for all your hard work putting them together.
i'm glad you left it in. it was there for a reason in the first place.
This case should be MANDATORY reading for the first day of collage in every school.
Exactly. Fuck making a piece of art by sticking various materials such as photographs or pieces of paper or fabric on to a backing!
These videos often fill my morning while eating breakfast before I head into work. Giving me interesting facts and insight into history is a welcome reprieve from the droning of a typical day. Thank you.
Loving this series!! Please keep it up, I love the funny and more relaxed style of these videos versus the regular ones!
I love the story, I love the editing, I love the tone; I can't thumbs-up this video enough 👍👍👍👍
Really beginning to love this series. I also really like the funny editing or whatever you call it. It adds a tiny bit of spice without ruining your trustworthiness
I’m really enjoying the Today in History episodes. Keep them up!
This is the precise reason that a bakers right to freedom of expression / speech to not make a cake for a gay couple's wedding must be protected. I say this as an atheist and I'm gay. Regardless of the Freedom of Religion aspect, this right is fundamental to us all no matter what your views are.
and our right to call them out for being a bigoted closed minded fuck is also protected. cant have one without the other.
hells onion yes we’re all aware. You’re saying this like it’s a counterargument or something.
just saying its a poor business model. news travels quicker and further than it ever has before, so excluding various parts of the community from your business is going to have a follow on effect. next we'll be hearing about struggling bakers dumbfounded by lack of business when their competitors are raking in the cash.
Protesting, free speech, religion etc and many other freedoms and rights are worth fighting for, protecting and defending. The Constitution, Bill of Rights, yada yada yada.
yes and the free market will decide whether or not the business will survive, you're welcome to use your freedoms to voice your opinion just as they are and I am, but you can't force them to support something they don't agree with and everyone screaming at each other does nothing but further divide our country and society
Love today in history. Keep up the good work. Thank you
I dig this format in addition to the usual broadcasts; keep up the good work.
Keep up the great work, Simon! Big thanks from Scottsdale, Arizona.
Love the videos. Really enjoying the odd rarely discussed history of our world
Loving the extracontent. Thanks so much for your efforts.
I'm glad to see you used Oyez as a source, I was going to go right there after this for the oral arguments. I've been on a huge Supreme Court kick over the past months, ever since I first heard Radiolab's More Perfect podcast. A story from there that might make a good one for a short-form video would be the sad story of Justice Whittaker losing his mind over Baker v. Carr. Or a biographics, he seems to have led a fascinating life. Another neat one is Taft, who served not only as President, but also his dream job of Chief Justice on the Court.
Spoilers... alllllllll the F#$cks left in.
aka many fucks given
Or no fucks given.
Love these new Videos,
Keep them coming...
It's so sad that there are people nowadays who are willing to give up freedom of speech because their delicate feelings were hurt without any regard about what it actually means to have that freedom in the first place. This video is very befitting, especially given the circumstances we find ourselves in today. I wonder how many will learn from this video and actually rethink their position on this issue.
Eisenhower was anti-war to. In fact a good many senior military are anti-war. They are very much in favor of being prepared though.
Protesting is one of many freedoms and rights worth fighting for, protecting and defending. The Constitution, Bill of Rights, yada yada yada.
"War never solved anything". Except for ending slavery, and defeating guys like Hitler.
Three Random Words We fight to protect the people who protest war. Ironic.
I quite enjoy this format! It feels seamless, a natural evolution of the videos you've made before.
This case in particular was wonderfully informative and I would humbly request you continue covering stories that may likewise contain words of am 'unsavory' nature.
Simon, your like a machine!!! Your just pumping videos out on this one and in addition you have 2 other channels! Damn man, your a beast. Good video like always, love your content. Keep it up but remember to take breaks every once in awhile.
Two videos in one day. Thanks guys!
yeah, they've really been cranking them out!
Excellent. Like the this day in history content. Keep em coming!
Enjoying these videos very much! Very interesting! 👏👏
Love these videos. Keep up the great work.
Love the series! Please keep it up 💕
Good Job Simon! Educational and entertaining as always. Keep up the good work!
Yeah I like this format. The content was spot on as well; thanks Simon!
I love this new segment keep it up!
I absolutely love this new content.
good work bud glad to see you on here more again it seemed you went missing for a while. keep up the good work
They should turn this into a historical movie.
Tom Hanks should definitely play either Justice Harlan or Professor Nimmer
That would be awesome!
LMFAO, ok, whatever...How much money is in our budget if Tom Hanks is on board? I could help with script writing or editing. Let's just say that i'm all in on this "F-Bomb" movie idea...tell me what you need.
This makes me think of Giddeon's Trumpet
I was thinking more "Movie 43" but yeah, I like where this is going...tell me what you need, team!
enjoying these vids! keep em coming!
Good series. Please consider continuing.
This was a very nicely done video, Sir. Thank you for making this content.
*UA-cam:* No swearing on my Christian server, demonetized
Justin Y.
Today I found out: No u
Is the UA-cam CEO Christian?
Dylan Hultman
I doubt it.
It has nothing to do with Christianity. It has to do with the constant bickering of the left and MSM media's rampant attacks on UA-cam as a whole that forced them censor more things on this once open platform.
Justin Y. UA-cam Christian? Lol in what universe do you live in?! The get paid off to put slutty garbage and super liberal trash on trending everyday. UA-cam is bullshit. If there wasn’t a monopoly on videos like UA-cam has, I’d be on another site in a heartbeat
Love it and love the depth on the topic.
*Simon is the most gentle kind soul*
That was my first word, and the word I use the most, as it is one of the most versatile words in the English language.
This series is great Simon. I love it. Little short trivial facts. It's like a more in-depth version of buying a Trivial Pursuit game just to read the cards.
Excellent and timely video!
I like this format!
Fantastic videos keep them coming
i like the weirdness in history, you/your team find, so keep it up
Really enjoyed this video. Ver chilled but still educational! Love from Portugal 😘
On the topic of bleeping out profanities: It was in my early adulthood that I started watching t.v. and things on youtube in English. Which was the first time I heard a word being bleeped out. And the first few times I thought it was a complete joke. And I think it took me YEARS, maybe even a decade, to realise that this was some sort of actual (self-)censorship and not some half-joke that was supposed to bleep out part of an offensive word and at the same time let the bleeped out word be still recognisable. Because it's not the word "fuck" that is bleeped out. It's not for example "Who the bleep took my cake". It's "Who the f-bleep-ck took my cake."
eh...Puritans...you take the good with the bad...
+the madman lowercase Wondering whether you are referring to your fellow citizens or if you watch from afar and scratch your head from time to time.
Yes!
In America, we don't really find words offensive. It's just vowels in proximity to specific consonants that freak people out.
You can say nAgger, even when talking about a black person.
You can shUt the door, but don't shIt on the floor.
You can talk to Us, but you shouldn't talk out your Ass.
You can pAss on an opportunity, but don't pIss on anyone.
Even pIssy is acceptable, so long as you're not talking about the keeper of your favorite pUssy.
It's ok to kIck, just not in the cOck.
And you can hang out on the dOck, but don't let your dIck hang out.
For some reason, you cAn't say cUnt.
Words such as fIx and fOx are quite popular, and fAx used to be.
You can even say Puck, Buck, Tuck, Muck, and Yuck with no problem whatsoever. But never press your Luck and Suck and/or fuck a Duck or else the fuZZ will make a fuSS and CHuck you in a cell where they'll pack your fuDGE, and that's no fuN.
As a whole (heh ass-a-hole), we can be pretty fucking stupid.
+the madman lowercase Yes? This doesn't really answer my implied question. ("I heard your wife's pregnant, I wonder if it's going to be a girl or a boy?" "Yes!")
Powerful stuff. Thanks for this.
Best episode of this series so far.
Forgot I hadn't subscribed...or maybe i was and rage quit for some drunken reason. I'm real proud of you in this video. Relevant, Unabashed, and Pointed use of the F-bomb and excellent quotes from court transcripts. Well done! Close-up cuts on Simon's face made me uncomfortable...like i was forced into kissing distance on Simon. I love ya, man, but not like that. You could make a video about where these words come from...I love Etymology. Like "Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass" That's got to be my favorite one of those types. Anyway, good video! I'll be watching. ; )
What a legend
You seem to me to be the hardest working guy on UA-cam. I, and my family 💖 love all the videos you do. Anything with more of you is a huge👍 from us.
This is a very amusing and, yes, important video. Thanks so much!
I’m really liking the Today in History videos, and I’m VERY happy you chose not to bleep “fuck.”
Love the new addition. I'm digging it ❤
Well, that was f* cking awesome! As always, keep up the good work!
Very interesting and informative videos, to be honest I like it much more than your usual videos (they are great too, but this is much more interesting), also would you keep this kind of videos under 10 minutes, some of us are bussy but would not want to miss out
I love your videos Simon ❤️❤️❤️
Why Simon Whistler, I'm so proud of you for keeping the curses in!!! Up one notch in my book! Thanks!
Has to be my favourite today in history yet haha
Thanks Simon for not bleeping
Great video! Keep 'em coming :)
I like this series. Good job
i am enjoying these new tidbits. i've learned so much about fowl language in the last few videos that i don't even know what to do with all the input...
Fact Boi really does nail these scripts first time. In through the eyes, out through the mouth. Amazing stuff even years ago
I loved this one! I am really enjoying these! I would never want the original stuff to go away, but I love this stuff as well. It's very much more "infotainment". And not censoring was def the way to go!
Im just down here
Also have a good day if you are reading this
Here we are. Here we be. Here we stay. My day has been wonderful, friend, I hope yours has been similar!
Good timing 👌
Great video and style of presenting
More Today in history please!
I love the intro jingle.
This was such a good one!
I love the way you accent the F in fuck, so aggressive lol
Great video!!!
That was effing great. I effing like the new format. I a big effing fab.
This is right around the time gorge Carlin released his "seven words you can't say on TV" if not just before. I believe this may have encouraged him in his stand-up. What's even more interesting is that George's "seven words" stand-up album were taken before the Supreme Court for a radio station airing the lp.
Another great story, thanks!
This is probably my favorite video so far on this channel of his lol😂
Dude this new segment is brilliant! I would like to say I appreciated you not bleeping out the profanity. It shows that you are willing to go past your normal behavior to give us the full picture. To me that makes you a more reliable source which is hard to find these days. I have watched your videos for quite some time and they are fun and interesting. Keep up the excellent work!
Anyone else sense a fourth channel coming?
Love the opening jingle.
That was fantastic. Funny. Factual. Simon is friendly. Thanks for figuring out festive ways to fill our heads with such great fucking facts.
These are great
This was fantastic
YEA!! I’m LOVING THIS SEGMENT!!!!!!
This entire episode equates to “you can dish it but can’t take it” this is fucking great.
I think this is my favorite episode of this series so far. 😂😂😂
Great video
These may even be better than the "today I found out" series
Snakeman and this! You're on fireeee! I was subscriber at 50k! Look at your channel now. :)
Rats, I'm already subscribed! If I could I'd subscribe 100 times over. You guys are doing great work. Thank you!!!
The way you say fuck is graceful in only a way that accent with such a well spoken person can accomplish
The end of the video had a tune similar to a ringtone. Similarly Simon was speeding up in his speech.... 🤣🤣😂
I feel so sorry for those who live in countries without Freedom of Speech. So glad I don't live in Canada or the UK. Nothing, against either of those countries, I just like my free speech.
+Vaughan Ware Where I live there is no free speech but this only means I can't denounce the Holocaust to have taken place (why should I?) and that I can't be overly racist in public (why would I want to?). Also I once worked in a place where all kinds of customers were served and there I wouldn't have been allowed to wear a "Fuck The Police" t-shirt. I can swear all I want in public, there are places where I could walk around literally naked and almost no-one would mind me snogging someone guy in public, lying on top of him, while there are children less than five metres away.

Germany?
Listening to you say "Fuck" is everything.
I really dig the addition of "This day in history" please do not stop. That would truly be a WTF moment. I learned something that was very unexpected and somewhat surprised I had not run across this factual moment in American history. Plus I had to watch it twice just to hear Simon swear. Too funny.
