I read an article by Glenn Greenwald on Salon.com today that made me think of this thread. Here's the relevant part:

Quote:
[M]any people purport to believe in free speech but don't. The whole point of the First Amendment is that one is free to express the most marginalized, repellent, provocative and offensive ideas. Those are the views that are always targeted for suppression. Mainstream orthodoxies, harmless ideas, and inoffensive platitudes require no protection as they are not, by definition, vulnerable to censorship. But as has been repeatedly seen in history, ideas that are despised and marginalized are often proven right, while ideas that enjoy the status of orthodoxy prove to be deeply erroneous or even evil. That's why no rational person trusts the state -- or even themselves -- to create lists of Prohibited Ideas. And those who endorse the notion that ideas they hate should be forcibly suppressed inevitably -- and deservedly -- will have their own ideas eventually targeted by the same repressive instruments.

If you're someone who wants to vest the state with the power to punish the expression of certain views on the grounds that the view is so wrong and/or hurtful that its expression should not be permitted -- as European countries and Canada routinely do -- then you're someone who does not believe in free speech, by definition; what you believe is that one is free to express only those viewpoints which the majority of citizens (and the State) allow to be expressed. Many of the most important views throughout history have been, at some point, hurtful, dangerous and even violence-engendering. The whole reason for free speech protections is to safeguard such ideas -- despised by the majority -- from suppression.

rofl, I sent you a pm saying to stop posting lesbian propaganda movies. Here I'll post the whole thing on here:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This video you posted in the rape thread was awful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEj-M...eature=related

This woman is all complaining about how terrible society is because it's patriarchal then offers no explanation for how or why a matriarchal society would be better.

It's always slightly overweight redhead women pulling this stuff. They see how society treats good looking women as 1st class citizens, men 2nd, ugly women 3rd, then they whine trying to get the same undeserved benefits of the vapid, good looking women.

I think you need to be taken to some kind of re-education facility like in the movie Clockwork Orange.

Your mental condition inspired me to create a new thread on why people like you exist in the first place: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...085#post257085
