Do you feel all opinions on this are equal? That someone expressing misinformation about groups or calling for restrictions to their freedom is equivalent to someone expressing support for the same minorities?
- angersock 10y agoI feel that whenever practices like this are made acceptable, invariably abuses follow. It is an accident of history that the people being picked on now are regarded as deserving. I'll pose my earlier question with a different group--how would you feel were this being done to conservative Christians or Muslims? Both groups express misinformation and sometimes call for restrictions on others (covering women in public, treatment of homosexuals, this sort of thing). We can't get everyone to get along. However, we can seek to eliminate state powers that are ripe for abuse.
