(3,732 posts)I don't need you creating a reading list for me based on YOUR interests.
The only reason we're still in this thread is you keep making fabulously wrong assertions about my position on free speech based on some unfathomable need to label me as a narrow minded harpy of political correctness. It's frankly pissing me off a lot. Just because I believe that bus ad has the potential for an incitement argument doesn't mean I think "offensive" speech should be banned. Or even that I think the criteria for "incitement" is easy to meet.
I will repeat for the umpteenth time, I think these matters are best left up to a judge. I know you're not a judge because someone who is actually in the legal profession wouldn't be stuck on cheesy strawmen.
All the examples I gave are valid examples despite your petty need to declare whether I'm "wrong" on this or that. You're wrong free speech being absolute. Of course the 1st Amendment is a bedrock principle for liberty - no one is arguing against that. I in fact agree, which is why your strawman attacks on me are making me so angry.
