Yippee, bandwagoning is fun, isn't it?

Peoples narrowmindedness and stupidity always requires regulation on everything. If the government didn't regulate everything that we did, it'd be sheer chaos simply because we need to live in fear of punishment to achieve anything, and to live a somewhat normal life. A regulation of hate speech is completely necessary, some peoples stupidity (unfortunatly, the place most of this is biased from is America), far surpasses knowing that something they say could infact hurt someones feelings. Granted, there is no way to regulate hate speech except putting a shock collar on everyone, and when they say friend it shocks them.

I don't even know how to respond to this. You're not even a person to me anymore.

Here, I state my response to an opinion: No u

Of course. My argument revolves around the government silencing the people - something that should be feared and treated as an atrocity. One civilian punching the other in the face for saying friend is irrelevant.

Silencing all hate speech is different than regulating it. I'm not saying that Westboro Baptist church shouldn't be able to express their ideas, I'm just saying that they shouldn't be allowed to do it in such offensive ways at people's funerals.

Who are you to decide what is offensive?

So I'm guessing that all of you think that what Charles Manson did was okay then since he didn't physically harm anyone.

What the forget? No, he was the conspirator of the murders, he effectively called the murders to come to fruition - he was responsible for people's deaths. Why didn't you just skip the small time and reference Riddler?

[Joekirk]

If I order a man to kill someone, and he follows the order, I am no less guilty then he is.

Politics, religion, etc.

I saw this on BBC or something that they are planning to destroy the last bit of the smallpox disease that we saved when we eradicated the disease. I think they're planning to destroy it in 2016 or something.

[nickbond1]

Sterilize that stuff.

[skelolego229]

tylale its not really "a small bit" its more like a giant ass vat that would be a huge target for terrorism
