You do not have the right to yell fire in a crowded movie theater. as decided by the supreme court that is a crime not free speech. If you think I am wrong go ahead and yell gun or fire in a crowd when there is no gun or fire and see if you can defend your choice of words as free speech.
I'm aware of that, and I'm also aware that free speech in the US isn't without restrictions, but lying isn't one of them unless it's to obstruct justice. Lying on an internet forum or spreading false information on one is not the same thing as yelling "fire" in a crowded theater; that's a false equivalence. Can you imagine if the government decided to ban statements that they deemed to be false? They'd essentially be deciding what's true and what isn't, and that sounds a lot like an Orwellian nightmare.
How often do you see me complain about free speech violations? Not very many times maybe 1 or 2 other times. Or maybe no other times in over 30000 posts
I don't see you complaining about it often, but what does that have to do with anything? Obviously you feel strongly about either this issue or the member who made the statement. Either way, I don't think a post should be deleted because it's misinformation.
Well the problem is you are stating humans are not human. Last I heard that is just about as close to the Hitler prequel to killing off
Gays Gypsies and Jews claiming they were subhuman allow for the killing of them without it being a murder.
If you do not see that creating an obvious falsehood the allows for the murder of 3 billion people as a threat to public safety as the same as falsely shouting fire in a crowded movie theater it is sad.
As I said I do not attack free speech but blatant falsehoods that endanger public safety I attack. Your reply to me assumes it is not easily proven to be a blatant falsehood that endangers public safety.
Okay 3 billion people world wide are no longer people .
damn if they are not human so if I kill them I don't commit murder is the next logical step. So you are saying you are in favor of our forum fostering this under the umbrella of free speech.
I live in Howell NJ right next to Lakewood NJ there are 120,000 people in that town 100,000 are Ultra Orthodox Jews I have quite a few friends from there. One of them told me he would allow Hitler to speak about killing all the Jews because it is free speech and that if Hilter was running for office here in America he should be able to say that as a campaign theme due to free speech.
Straight up truth he told me that. I think when people go to those extremes to defend 'free' speech it is pretty much straight a scene from a bizzaro world. I know it is talk and if someone ran as Hitler he would be against it.
I am pretty sure if every thread had a post that said "the Pharmacist and philipma1957 are dangerous aliens they must be found and dealt with"
You and I would not like it. As it would be a threat to the two of us and actually harder to prove it is a blatant lie then it is to prove bad decker's is a lie.
So I actually like a few of bad decker's older posts but as he has aged or as the world has gotten bigly weird his posts are really out there.
