Oh Texas..

[Ben Kenobi]

a group of morons in a country that has about the strongest protections on free speech in the world going 'haw haw, let's draw pictures to piss off dem muslims!'.

If you wanted to prove this group of morons right, I see no better way to do that than to try to kill them. They had a point, and they made their point that Islam is a threat even to America and Texas.

Also, have we already forgotten Fort Hood, and the terrorist attack there? Twice?

I wonder if Infowars have declared this must have been part of Jade Helm yet.

[Thoth]

So are we invading Texas or not? I don't want to be involved in another quagmire in a 3rd world country

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

There is a difference between a publication making a point about press freedom and the dangers of it being curtailed by fear, and a group of morons in a country that has about the strongest protections on free speech in the world going 'haw haw, let's draw pictures to piss off dem muslims!'.

It's a small difference I know, but it's a difference none the same.

This is a good point. The legal trend in the US is toward more and more protection of free speech, so it's not as if people in this country need to take action to protect it.

Except for things like political correctness, hate crimes/hate speech, trying to get the Redskins to change their name, playing **** **** games with people who are against gay marriage...no, free speech is still under attack.

[Hauldren Collider]

Yeah, if you think free speech isn't under attack you are probably one of the ones attacking it.

[C0ckney]

shut up!

You think free speech is under attack because it's socially unacceptable to be a homophobic racist...?

Then get out of Georgia.

Except that speech and right of expression in America is almost certainly freer today than it's been at any other point in the entirity* of American history.






*Yes, I smirked when I wrote that.

[The Mad Monk]

you're sooooo oppressed

all these mothafuckas treading on you and your freedom

They're not, because we won't let them.

[Lorizael]

This is such a phenomenally dumb argument that I'm not even sure you should be allowed to make it.

So did I, but I'm not the one who misspelled it...
