    The issue is not whether people are allowed to incite violence with their words. It's where FB or other online forums are responsible. To use your example, is it the movie theater's responsibility to ensure that you don't yel

    The UK should have offered citizenship to residents of Hong Kong prior to 1997. It exploited the colony and local residents of HK as much as China does now. Offering them citizenship will allow residents a way of moving to the UK, but it do
