I was just making a point about free speech and whether we really want to live in a society where absolute free speech is always fair game...not to mention a world where trolls will cross the line just to prove a point. On message boards, thousands of people could be reading at one time. So this little pathetic troll actually has a lot of influence.
I don't believe in absolute free speech...just pointing out hypocrisy.
Well you can't have complete free speech one way and not the other.
Other than not accepting any kind of responsibility of free speech that is the other point of contention i have with the neo-liberals in this context. They want to be offensive as they like to other groups (muslims in this case) without having any of their core values challenged or ridiculed. The Islamic community never agreed to enter into this arrangement.
