There's nothing in the law that says you can't walk up to a child with leukemia and say "HA HA! You're dying!". The reason for this is because unrestricted free speech is very important, and some day it may become vital for you be able to s

I'm not sure I understand your first complaint. The fat arrow is a great helper and saves a lot of work in various situations....obviously it doesn't cover all situations...but in the situations it doen't cover I'm not sure what I'd expect

You seem to be confusing what the term "relevent" means re: down-voting. (or perhaps just want down-voting is for) down-voting is a community moderation tool, to be used on comments that are off-topic, trolling, spam, etc. The article in qu

I'd say so. Also, I somewhat agree with the grand-parent that the way the woman in the article compares telling a woman to not wear a skirt in order to avoid rape with talking/thinking about ways she might have avoided the ordeal is not an

It is a difficult situation...on the one. hand you can't blame victims for crimes. That responsibility lies 100% with the criminals. On the other hand, in some cases someone is negligent in taking some easy precautions; and it's hard not to

It's certainly possible. I'd note there are a variety of services who exist solely to provide "in store music" to stores, which handle all the copyright/broadcast rights etc....and they are generally pretty affordable. Still I wouldn't be s

Thank you very much for the thoughts. Personally I don't really care about down votes, but unfortunately they often discourage people or make them feel unwelcome; people who might have a lot to contribute.
