"men to insult and threaten other people" If anybody feels insulted by speech, they need to grow up, grow a thicker skin. Don't go running to governments or corporations to create laws to defend their feelings. You sneaked in "threaten" to broaden your scope for your speech argument, physical attacks are already illegal. "because it is physically possible to hold some opinion it must be as correct as any other opinion" Again, regarding what is "correct", just for demonstration, I might agree or not agree or don't give a flying fuck and not be interested in your discussion at all. That does not and should not take your or my right away of saying it. If your opinion stands the test of time, then evolution will eventually show you are correct, and same applies to anybody else. "Few people in power", I was speaking relatively, compared to population of a country. Regarding "racial arguments", you used "argument" not physical attack, in which case you don't have any right to stop them in delivering such argument. I am so glad that I migrated to this country where freedom of speech is still defended vehemently.

Look, you can't both have a notion of "standing the test of time" and think all opinions are equal: passing a test by necessity defines a preferred opinion. Your stated position is a logical contradiction: good job.

  You've asserted several times that 'djanago' believes that "all opinions are equal" and that "all opinions are as correct as any other opinion", but I'd be willing to bet that he does not. More likely, he believes something closer to "the government should not be in the business of censoring opinions" and "people have a right to speak their opinion even if that opinion is unpopular and wrong". If phrased this way, do you still disagree?
