46% of people in England don't believe in free speech

Yeh what I meant to say at the start is stuff like racism, homophobia e.t.c. shouldn't be allowed to be said (hence I'm against freedom of speech). I didn't mean I'm against everything that makes people upset.

I believe in freedom of speech to an extent, I don't think it should be used to hate on on people of races or religions or sexualities or whatever, I feel like if someone says the n word or p word or t word even if it was just a joke, I think if their employer wants to fire them or they are publically shamed their is nothing wrong with that. I think if someone makes a rude joke on twitter like I want to kill this person, even if they didn't mean it, if they are arrested, I am fine with that.

I don't think ideas should be protected though, I think hating Muslims is wrong but hating Islam isn't.

This is what I meant earlier! Thank you.

Ah better but still no cigar

AS long as the speech does not instigate violence against people or institutions then it should be free no matter how abhorrent some people may find it

But what if that speech spreads hate mentally rather than through physical violence? I think that would still be wrong.

What's wrong with hating something?

I think a lot of the 'edge-lords', what they mean is 'freedom to be offensive'.

Yes, possibly. And?

Well change in this country is favouring my view point, so sucks to be you guys.

You believe that freedom of speech should be legally taken away from people?

Depends what the person is hating, if its mayonnaise than its fine. If its black people than it wouldn't be fine.

Yeh what I meant to say at the start is stuff like racism, homophobia e.t.c. shouldn't be allowed to be said (hence I'm against freedom of speech). I didn't mean I'm against everything that makes people upset.

Well it is and I am fine with that.

You are seriously upsetting me with what you are suggesting. Please limit your speech.

OK, then we're done here. People like you scare the heck out of me. Especially with your crowing 'Well change in this country is favouring my view point, so sucks to be you guys.' Feel like I woke up in Soviet Russia this morning.

Again who gets to decide what is right and what isn't

you keep making statements that you then need to clarify given this is a actually a grey area

'Shouldn't be allowed to be said' - anywhere? Even in the privacy of people's own homes, in private emails, or what? What do you think should be the penalty? Who gets to decide what's racist?

Nope.

The West is currently on top, so nearly all the latest inventions are going to be Western. That is not surprising.

But it says nothing about white people having any sort of special gift because if they did, they would have been on top for thousands of years, not just hundreds.

Sure whites have invented good stuff but at the same 99.999% of whites have invented nothing.

Your points only work during certain periods of history. In 1300 you could have made the Chinese inventor argument at the time they could have bragged that they have been the most inventive. In 1000 BC you could have made the Egyptian inventor argument.

So called western technology is not because white people are so much smarter than everyone else but because progress in science and invention is built on what has gone before.

The more science you know the more science you can discover. The more inventions you have at hand, the more new inventions you can come up with. That is why the progress is exponential. It comes from the nature of science and technology, not from the nature of white intelligence.

I would be for religious people having limits on their free speech.

Man its hard putting my views into words (seems a lot clearer in my head). Looks like you win this argument.
