Sometimes certain things need to be dealt with by force, there's no way around it.
It seems that that freedom of speech is not the cause of stability, but stability gives rise to (certain degrees) of freedom of speech. It's a slippery slope, but each country has to have a moral basis on which to decide where to draw the line.
- gfodor 6y agoThe words you just wrote about necessary force are the same ones coming out of the mouths of those you wrote them about. It should be obvious where this road leads unless we have a leader wake us up.
- anigbrowl 6y agoIt's perfectly OK to punch someone back after they've punched you first. You're not obliged to stand there and keep reasoning with them while they hit you again.
- gfodor 6y agoPut this in a frame and hang it. It describes war. If that is what you seek, so be it. Everyone argues their war is just. But war is always the same, no matter how just it is. If that is not what you seek, consider how to move towards peace. The worst thing to do is to cause a war when you wanted peace, because you didn't understand what was happening.
- anigbrowl 6y agoSpare me the theatrics. Suggesting that the person getting hit (in this metaphor) is the one seeking war is like an abuser blaming their victim for having made them do the bad thing again.
