Yes, I’ve seen it. But I wasn’t talking about the forum.

The UK has become a full-blown Nancy state in regard to it’s hate speech laws. A man was recently investigated for retweeting a limerick about trans p...

Boy, you guys really can’t handle a little opposition, can you? I’m flattered.

As far as I can tell recruiting a murderer involves a great deal more than just speech, and involves active participation. At any rate, I’d have to se...

I’m still awaiting your critique.

Do you need my blessing to begin or something?

The standards you apply selectively? I don’t care about meeting double standards.

Pitter patter.

That’s the line of thinking for blasphemy laws for instance, that evil words beget evil deeds and laws against it must be enforced in order to protect...

Ha. I could only dream of a world where free speech was the rule rather than the exception. Either way if someone dissented from that I would defend t...

I’m the same way. But I think the very fact that people are able to dissent from orthodoxy is invaluable.

I think that in an authoritarian regime those laws you disagree with would be difficult to challenge and change given that strict obedience to them wo...

Do you guys remember the curious case of Michelle Carter, who encouraged her boyfriend by text message to commit suicide? She was convicted of “involu...

I don’t think it can be shown that free speech leads to authoritarian regimes, nor that such a regime can exist under conditions of free speech. Censo...

You can find my response to your earlier request, which you reneged on before running to tattle

I still maintain and for the exact reasons I stated.

The adjectives “aware” and “conscious” seem lacking as descriptive terms. Perhaps awareness extends beyond that which we are conscious of, that we are...

We should always remember that censorship is itself a form of bigotry and intolerance, and “hate speech” (speech I hate) is only the newest heresy.

Not only are your metaphors evidence of poor imagination, but proof of bigotry and dehumanization, which is ironic because you’re guilty of all you ha...

I took your question as a round-about way of saying my arguments were unacceptable. If I’m wrong I apologize, but I wager that is exactly where you’re...

It’s a silly yes or no question.

But by limiting speech (through coercion, no less) they limit speaking, reading, conversation, which are actions which have meaningful and important e...

Do you seriously believe your cowardly “question” was going to get the response you wanted?

I was affirming that, yes, it’s all a partisan distortion, which appears to be conveniently left out of what you claimed I said “yes” to, even though ...

Now you know what I feel. Sorcerers and mindreaders.

I haven’t disputed any of your links. What I have repeatedly dismissed is your uncompromising, puritanical political correctness, energy which might b...

I can appreciate the humor. :ok:

Nope.

Oh here we go. You’ve admitted you are employed to manipulate people through words as a living. It’s not working so well here, is it?

Telling yourself little fantasies like that is the biggest hand wave. Not once have I challenged those mistruths and am giving them full benefit of th...

He also said “Maybe you should look up the difference between a lie and something said with tongue in cheek”, which is suspiciously but expectantly mi...

I do. I am confidently inoculated against it.

Like Gorgias, sophists overestimate the power words, and believe they can produce magical effects on other bodies. Hence their rampant use of fallacy ...

That’s a lie.

Not lies. But it’s no strange wonder you’d all keep using that term—you’ve been taught to.

Only if you suspiciously leave out the possessive pronouns.

I already said, it’s card-stacking, which is a known propaganda technique. It might be best to learn to protect yourself against this instead of falli...

Are you upset I didn’t add on that my “personality”? My biology, my body, same thing.

Yes, it’s called card-stacking.

Exactly. We can forgive each other’s hyperbole and sarcasm.

A lie. It’s amazing that the very people who wag their finger at the president for his falsities have no qualms about spewing their own.

Oh right, you believe in sorcery.

Trump talks a lot, but you limit yourself to the few bite-sized, quote-mined, out of context selections of the anti-Trump press. You may know all his ...

They don’t, as is evident by your powerless words.

I already did show you. Your sanctimony and moral posturing were also proven lies and hypocrisy.

Well, I was talking about the last few presidents, but sure, point taken.

I have not lied once. You have been demonstrably proven a liar.

Helped the Nazis rise to power? (Hitler)

I asked if Obama created or built anything, you gave the example of the Affordable care act. Seriously dude.
