The 1st amendment was written in the era of printing presses - should we scrap that too? After all, there's no way they could have predicted the internet.

- arcticbull 3y agoNot at all, we should evaluate each one on its own merits and be open to changing them if they're not longer relevant or interesting. Especially if it's actively harmful. In what way do you think the 1st amendment is no longer relevant, interesting and is harmful? I can very much explain my opinions in re the 2nd. Each amendment is independent and invalidating one does nothing to any other. But looks if you can convince me the 1st amendment needs a revisit, I'd be open to it. I don't think so, but a compelling case would change my mind.
- thryg 3y agoI 100% agree. I hate guns and love freedom of speech. As a centrist i got to say that liberals are just as cunning as extreme right. For example, liberals support gay rights but don't dare to condemn muslims who hold/preach hatred towards gays and defend wearing burq as a good thing that ever happened to muslim women.
