I don't believe you agree with most of it. But you're still willing to allow it, which isn't much better to me.

- KGIII 9y agoOf course I'm willing to allow it. That's what defending free speech means. Free speech means allowing the deplorable, the horrible, the hateful, and the hurtful. It does have limits, and those limits are already encoded in the laws. I've already been over those. I like all of my rights, even if I'm not using them. I not only want them for myself, I want them for you.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI'm sorry, but we will never agree on this topic. Rape threats are not free speech, and saying I don't defend them does NOT mean that I am against free speech.
- nate_meurer 9y agoJust as you are allowed to say things considered insulting, oppressive, and intimidating by other (unfortunately large and growing) groups of people. Nobody complains about being marginalized more loudly than the nativists and white supremacists, and they use the exact same arguments as you do to demand that their critics be silenced.
