  Why are you for that? Especially children?

    It’s like not letting kids smoke cigarettes. It’s actually pretty sensible.

  Yes, they should be rounded up and taught the right way to think. /s

    No, just prevent proselytization of hate. Take it easy with the hyperbole, we’ll make it work.

  I find your posts throughout this thread offensive and I think you should be arrested and jailed for them. Very few things are as violent and hateful as attempting to strip people of their rights.

    We can’t have true freedom of speech anyways. You can’t say you’ll murder the head of state, you can’t slander, you can’t lie in a court etc. It’s a sensible addition to the rules like all the others in place right now.

  This to me indicates there is a serious cultural problem in the police force, where they think this kind of policing is okay. We do not want the kind of people on the front line who think this behaviour is acceptable or beneficial for society.
