I think holocaust denial is protected in the US isn't it?

2018-01-14 04:43:45 UTC  

yes

2018-01-14 04:43:51 UTC  

should it be else where

2018-01-14 04:43:53 UTC  

Yes

2018-01-14 04:43:54 UTC  

should it be universal

2018-01-14 04:44:34 UTC  

he was calling me 1488 for saying countries that have ban holocaust denial for being anti freedom of speech countries

2018-01-14 04:45:23 UTC  

^
well that part you assumed

2018-01-14 04:46:06 UTC  

nah just because someone wants freedom of speech doesnt mean they are 1488

2018-01-14 04:51:34 UTC  

it's not protected in Canada

2018-01-14 04:51:44 UTC  

holocaust denial

2018-01-14 04:52:20 UTC  

cause its a shit place

2018-01-14 04:52:24 UTC  

that isnt free

2018-01-14 04:53:35 UTC  

I'm struggling to see what useful argument you can make from either the premise that it happenned or not, so it doesn't really impede speech. It does impede people intentionally hurting others

2018-01-14 04:54:21 UTC  

lol

2018-01-14 04:54:27 UTC  

what an argument

2018-01-14 04:55:06 UTC  

ok, if I stop you from saying: "there are very small rocks deep in the earth" will you care?

2018-01-14 04:55:19 UTC  

yes

2018-01-14 04:55:24 UTC  

if youd kill me if i do

2018-01-14 04:55:29 UTC  

that would be misplaced caring

2018-01-14 04:55:41 UTC  

I'm sure you have more important subjects to attend to 😃

2018-01-14 04:55:56 UTC  

so ban non important ones

2018-01-14 04:56:19 UTC  

I understand what you mean

2018-01-14 04:56:36 UTC  

and frankly, I would prefer to be able to say anything I want

2018-01-14 04:56:46 UTC  

I was against that law when it passed - by principle

2018-01-14 04:56:58 UTC  

but it's been what, 30 years? I forgot

2018-01-14 04:57:14 UTC  

30 years of no freedom of speech

2018-01-14 04:57:20 UTC  

and in all that time, I never was placed in the position to claim either way

2018-01-14 04:57:33 UTC  

so in practice it was innauculous

2018-01-14 04:57:52 UTC  

and I'm a pragmatic when it comes to analysing problems

2018-01-14 04:58:13 UTC  

And guess what, my grand father was in Dashau

2018-01-14 04:58:15 UTC  

so

2018-01-14 04:58:18 UTC  

if america were to ban holocaust denial

2018-01-14 04:58:43 UTC  

i would deny it on the premise thats illegal\

2018-01-14 04:58:50 UTC  

and itd be a type of protest

2018-01-14 04:59:02 UTC  

like free the boob

2018-01-14 04:59:05 UTC  

walking around naked

2018-01-14 04:59:39 UTC  

hehe

2018-01-14 05:00:02 UTC  

Well, a lot of countries are envious of the american freedom of speech

2018-01-14 05:00:13 UTC  

It was clearly a stroke of genius

2018-01-14 12:01:07 UTC  

"We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students). This suggests that human preferences arise from general properties of nervous systems, rather than from face-specific adaptations."
