| Same principle applies in any country, but Bush is more well known that the leader of Austria (i dont even know who that is, but then i'm not from there) | |||

| Bush is one to watch, admittedly. Was'nt too long ago i remember him saying something to the effect that people should'nt protest the war in iraq because thats unpatriotic and could "hurt morale"
Or the way he makes it sound like whoever let it be known that he is spying on US citizens illegally is somehow the bad guy in that scenario. I could absolutely see him backing all sorts of limits on free speech. But the free speech agrument still applies to any country. People should be free to peacefully exp |

| Actually there are things that can relate to it in the US, they just happened further back in history. We did some pretty awful things to the indiginous people who used to live on this land a long time ago. But if someone were to deny that any of that ever happened, i would just regard them as a dumbass, not as a criminal deserving prison time. But people need to be free to make their own conclusions, because you never know. There may be things we accept as truth which are complete lies and someone i'd consider a fool right now could eventually come forward with hard evidence of something or other. People thought Copernicus was just evil and stupid when he said the earth was not the center of the solar system, and he ended up being right about it.
Arwon - yelling fire is causing a public disturbance, much like playing your music at full blast all night long when your neighbors are trying to sleep. But if you were to simply say "fire" in a normal tone of voice, then you should be allowed. ![]() |

| To me free speech means the ability to have your own opinions and to exp Though i dont see anything particularly humorous or redeeming in the cartoons of Mohammed, i still think the person who drew them was entitled to free exp |

| In my opinion virtually any fantasy you have is A-OK and nobody elses damn business, as long as its only a fantasy. If it gets pervasive, where you no longer think about your significant other because you keep thinking about somebody else, then thats a problem, or if you start taking steps to act on the fantasy. From a psychological point of view it is very normal to occasionally fantasize about people other than your current love.
For me, if my GF told me she had fantasies about someone we knew, i'd laugh about it, but if i then noticed her trying to be alone with him alot then i'd start to wonder and get concerned. |

| There is a world of difference between yelling fire in a theater to cause a stampede, and claiming the holocaust did'nt happen. Yelling fire had a malicious intent, and is going to cause a reaction immediately (people dont sit around and contemplate whether or not there is a fire when their life could depend on it in a matter of seconds). Writing a book that the holocaust did'nt happen is not putting people's lives in immediate danger, people have all the time in the world to ignore it or debate it or make their own mind up about it. Its not like if they dont immediately act on the holocaust book then they could be killed in a fire. Also, what if this guy really believes he is right? Then its not a malicious act, its just one guy putting out what he thinks is truth. Any one else is free to then put out a book about what crap his book is. It would be different if his book contained a plan which it advocated for people to go out and murder jews. But even then i'd consider anyone who listened to him and actually killed someone to be far more guilty than the dumbass who wrote a book. | |||

| Thats different then, i dont know much about him other than someone saying he is in prison for denying the holocaust. If what he actually did was advocate murdering people (in a serious and not joking way), then thats completely different and makes alot more sense. | |||

| So if i said there is no such thing as gravity, then i should go to prison because i'm obviously wrong? | |||
Jomb![]() Deddorokku Since: 12-03-05 From: purgatory Last post: 5910 days Last view: 5910 days |

And what if all that were true? So what, i did'nt have anything to do with gravity existing (or not)
Or what if i said Bush is a loser and should be removed from office. Should i go to prision because that could cause damages in lost confidence, possibly inspire some wacko to attempt assassination, or could be interpreted as a lie (he is not a loser as he won the election)? Or what if i were to vehemently believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, many have died over that one, so should i go to prison? When you start limiting what people can say or believe, you begin down that road towards fascism, even if your intentions were good at the start. (edited by Jomb on 02-24-06 07:31 PM) |

| I dont see how holocaust denial is ABSOLUTELY IN EVERY SINGLE CASE tied to incitement of violence. Yes, maybe in most cases, but i strongly doubt its in every single case. Freedom of speech should still cover it except in cases where it goes beyond holocaust denial to outright incitement of violence. I never said freedom of speech was absolute, just that in my opinion it should be, with the distinction of things like yelling fire in crowded building with the intent to cause harm, which would be a criminal act.
Trying to alter peoples beliefs in historical facts should not be a crime, because historical "facts" are notoriously shady. History is based on what our best knowledge at the time is, and that changes. As far as there being no hated minorities today, i know that to be wrong. I can think of one group which is very hated and oppressed right here in America, due to the public's misinformation and fear. But its not an ethnicity. |

I got too many kinks to list
For example i am maybe overly fascinated with a particular part of the female anatomy... the part she sits on. I like the idea of sexual cosplay, though i've never engaged in that. I love a girl with a nice bush. I hate that nasty plucked chicked look they all seem to have down there in porn these days. I want to feel i'm with a woman, not a small child or a barbie doll. For some reason braces can turn me on sometimes with certain women. A womans hair can turn me on also, if it's braided a certain way or is a certain color. |

| I swear, some people will blatantly ignore or misrepresent the facts to make their filthy habit acceptable in their own minds.
Second-hand smoke is dangerous. Even if it were not poisonous, it stinks so bad that i cant take it. And it clings to everything in any building that people smoke in. This is because cigarettes have tar in them. Tar is very sticky and its in the fumes. Why do you think my coat stinks like shit whenever i visit a bar or a smoker's home? The main reason i dislike cigarettes so strongly is the odor and the way the smoke hangs in the air, forcing itself on me even if i want nothing to do with it. This is why chewing tobacco is not nearly as aggravating to me, if someone is chewing they are hurting only themselves, and there is no foul odor hanging in the air and clinging to everything. Dr, Mario, you are dead wrong about the effects of second-hand smoke. According to an article in American Journal of Epidemiology, second-hand smoke increases the risks of strokes, in their study, non-smoking spouses of smokers were shown to have from 20-60% more strokes, depending on how much their spouse smoked around them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that secondhand smoke causes 35,000 heart disease deaths a year in the United States. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that dogs in smoking households had a 60 percent greater risk of lung cancer. There are literally hundreds of other reports of research showing smoking, and even second-hand smoke to be very dangerous, especially in the long-term. To find a study showing the opposite you have to look long and hard, and then its of questionable validity. Virtually every well-reputed doctor you can find will tell you to avoid smoking, they dont do this as some kind of big joke on the tobacco industry. |

| I find the Patriot Act to be deeply disturbing, and UN-PATRIOTIC. Whats next? Are they going to make a law that says that the government owns everything and you are only borrowing it, then call it the America Hates Rape Act. That way if you vote against it you obviously are pro-rape? | |||

| What pisses me off the most about O'Reilly, is that he sits there acts like he is a fair and unbiased reporter, when he is far from it. | |||

| I cant speak about the rest of the country, but in my area the reason you might not have heard about poverty as much during the Clinton-era was because there was less of it. In the 90's people in this area regularly got decent jobs with little problem. Since about 2000 we've become a depressed area and chances of finding a good job are very small. If you like minimum wage then you'll be happy. | |||

| I took a Primatology class is college and we had a whole chapter on them. They are most likely our closest relatives amongst the other primates. We could learn so much from them *L* |
