- devrelm 13y agoGodwin's Law in 16 minutes. Not bad.
- freehunter 13y agoThat's not a Godwin. Nazis were/are well known to promote hate based on differences between people and promote laws to keep certain groups oppressed. It's a perfectly valid comparison.
- ivanca 13y agoIt did sound like a comparision, my bad.
- badman_ting 13y agoSaying "Godwin's Law" is not an argument, FFS
- angersock 13y agoThe Chicago police protected neo-nazis when they marched in Skokie--at a time when there were residents there who still had tattoos from the camps. So, yeah, we should strive to protect freedom of speech and be tolerant, even when people are shitbags.
- freehunter 13y agoYes, I would expect the government to protect his right to free speech and political opinion. However, that doesn't mean anyone has to respect his opinions, much like neo-nazis don't garner much respect in public opinion (but the police will work to protect their safety when expressing their opinion).
- ivanca 13y agoFreedom of speech is for both sides, for CEOs who are anti-gay and for any employee who ask him to leave for being so.
