…in which case, dissent is hatred, and intolerance, and we really need, as Americans, to get over our fetishizing of the First Amendment.
After all, lots of countries don’t treat free speech like we do — nor do they so obsessively protect it. In fact, the US Constitution is in a way barbaric, protecting such hatreds and intolerances and stuff that people get to say that “progressives” simply do not wish you to be able to hear.
Something must be done. A crisis taken advantage of. Like, maybe if somebody creates an inflammatory YouTube video, and people die as a result, and we can then do the sober, serious, and pragmatic work of breaking free from the self-righteous piety and purity of the Founders and Framers and get to work setting up fixes to stop the hatred and the intolerance from making its way into the public domain.
For instance, let’s take a close look at this sharia thing — not the whole thing, mind you, but the good and sensible parts…
The most disturbing part of all this? Is that many of our sleeping masses here don’t much care about the loss of free speech — after all, who is for tolerance and hate? — and they’ll only recognize the impact once they develop a viewpoint that challenges the leftist orthodoxy, at which point they’ll find it surreal that they are being pressured and persecuted for holding it.
And then we can laugh and laugh. Even as we weep and curse.
(thanks to Monster)
There will be no weeping in the new world order, by order of the Central Committee.
Cursing amuses them, that will be alright.
Laughing will be your primary method of healthcare, and
mandatedrefusal to laugh will incur a tax.The subway poster in no way specifically mentions Muslims. It is an anti-jihad poster.
All the people who are against this poster being displayed are saying they are pro-jihad, I suppose?
Pam is a little bit of an attention whore, but they took her money and said it was okay to display her posters.
Suck it up, haters of the First Amendment.
“Laughing will be your primary method of healthcare”
not so fast hussein
Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.

Islam is run by Dean Wormer??
In the new world order (amendment 37/c: section 324), laughter will no longer be connected to “fun”. As the best medicine, laughter will be reserved for the primary treatment of serious disease, and by prescription only.
…but they took her money and said it was okay to display her posters.
No, they didn’t. They told her to pound sand, so she sued them for discrimination and violation of her First Amendment rights, and the courts sided with her, so they had to take her money and display her posters.
Little wonder, then, that they would immediately look for ways to weasel out of their
forcedbrave, patriotic support of free speech.Ah. I didn’t know that, Pablo.
Well, they can go to hell and better stop people from defacing the posters, too.
Sorry. Squid, I meant.

Islam is a joke, and I will make fun of it and they can kiss the soles of my feet.
I asked the silly bint with the pink spray paint “What race is jihad?” She didn’t respond.
Public school grad, eh?
So we were right! It ISN’T peace be upon you…
“Free speech is legal until it offends someone?”
“Yes.”
No one can tell when you laugh or cry if you’re wearing a burqa, just don’t be showing any unnecessary ankle skin while you do it.
Note to Mr. Wallis
The best way to love someone is to tell them the truth.
Likewise, its also the best thing to do to your enemies.
The truth is a sword, liberating and deadly righteous.
Depravity makes the truth a hard thing to know sometimes though.
And sadly ‘pure reason’ can take you off the earth and onto the head of a pin to count angels while empiricism can leave you saying “I dunno” after a lot of wasted time with a big research bill no one wants to pay and an angry client.
The you can also fall into wildly theoretical freaky stuff like Super-String or it’s loopy grandkid M-Theory where it’s more of a cultish hobby/fugue project than a real discipline.
Worms will tend to head for the cracks when the sun is too bright in other words.
