When was the last time I was banned? Start of the year?
Asked about what I wanted as a gift this year, I said peace on earth! Oh, and I think a manastone, probably won't get the second though. Love you all. | ||

Here's the thing, every time anyone has ever tried to define what hatespeech is, the definition is always circular, and each chunk of the definition is roughly a synonym for the chunk before it, so it doesn't actually tell you anything.
No hatespeech means no racism and no bigotry and no targeting of groups? Well, okay. But just understand that it's like if somebody asked you to define what water is, and instead of telling them that water is two hydrogen atoms bound to an oxygen atom, you tell them "Water is the substance that is created when the materials that form it are bonded". Sure, I guess that's a truism, but it didn't help me understand what water is. | ||

So much great art: literature, visual arts, music, movies, and video games all lived on the edge of what was acceptable at one point in time. But hate speech focus ends up being about shutting down what people don't like. Our culture changes quickly and people don't change as fast as culture wants it to. Conversations work better typically than punishment. A lot changes in 24 years. A lot stays the same. Kimmel is still in late night on ABC. And Carolla still does well in radio. There is room for many voices despite all our differences. Merry Christmas! | |||

Genuine ignorance of the law isn't a get out of jail free card, but it's also not supposed to impose an additional punishment. Also I have no idea what kind of xmas tree I cut down but it's definitely not a spruce or hemlock because it smells like grapefruit. It's actually wonderful. | |||

MAGA's repulsive nature isn't the fault of the individual MAGA adherent, but we don't need to be tolerant of the intolerant
