Quote:i don't think Christian or Anti-Christian ads should be displayed in public places
By "public places " I exclude any venue owned by the state, unless equal opportunity is given to all views.. Anywhere else,such as on a billboard for example is an exercise in freedom of speech.
Do you object because they might offend someone? I wasn't aware that there is any right NOT to be offended in Australasia, the US or UK most European countries. .
In fact,freedom of speech actually guarantees the right of dissent,including the right to offend. The excuse of I'm offended or "X group may be offended" is way of imposing values on others,and is often used as justification for censorship. In my opinion such controls should not be tolerated in a free society. I was appalled at the recent UN resolution banning any criticism of Islam. That pretty well destroyed what little respect I held for that bunch oh humbugs.
