It’s just a fact. I can give you a lot more examples of the left doing hateful things. And I am no conservative. my conservative leanings tend to harvest the sayings by Jesus, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Calvin, Buckley and many others of lower accomplishment. Shakespeare, Kant and Hegel a lot lately as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best stories told by both were how promiscuous one of the first daughters was, literally engaging in the naughty in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I can provide you just as many examples on the right and we can have an endless debate on something that's impossible to quantify. I will say that I'd rather hang out with a right wing nut than a left wing nut though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 ‘Prayers up’: George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized after contracting an infection I've seen this a hundred times in my medical career, couples who have been together for decades usually go out together.

njbuff Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Fresno State ain’t firing that POS professor and they aren’t taking any disciplinary action against that fat disgusting hateful slob whatsoever. If she was white saying that deplorable crap against a minority, she would have been fired almost immediately. ”White is bad” routine never changes.

I'm of the belief that people are entitled to bad opinions, and I'm also very uncomfortable with the idea that it's beginning to become socially acceptable to destroy someone's life financially over a disagreement of ideas. No, freedom of speech does not protect you from social consequences, but should social consequences constantly be an act of war against our political opponents? I don't think so. The concept of no platforming is the antithesis of a free and open society predicated on the notion of individuality; and just as much as we have laws which were intended to prevent the government from treading on us, we have the responsibility as the custodians of the concepts of freedom and liberty, which is intended to be intrinsic to the culture that binds us, to honor that platform ourselves in our daily lives. Disagreement should be spoken, not silenced. Tolerance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to silence those whose speech we perceive to be hateful, spiteful, repugnant, or obscene, then we would be no better than those who believe as that professor does. She should be free to voice her opinion, however offensive it may seem. The rest of us are able to rise above such pettiness if we choose, and that makes us better for it.

No one should have their job threatened because of their politics. If you, as an individual, choose not to give someone your business because of their beliefs, that's fine; but trying to organize others to no platform them is the antithesis of a free society, widens the divides between us, and will lead to real political violence as a consequence.
