Milo Yiannopoulos resigns from Breitbart News

Yeah, duh. I mean everybody knows what you said. Although there are certainly people in this thread who would be in favor of banning certain speech. I mean that's obvious from just reading the first few pages and see how many people express disdain for free speech.

Although actually there have been riots and violent attempts to literally shut down his ability to speak. So even what you said is not really accurate to the situation.

I'm not sure about riots, but I am fine with the protests. Even that isn't shutting down "free speech". Anything you say is open to a public response. That's just other people expressing their free speech in response to his free speech. The protesters just aren't being given the same platform Milo was given, so they're using what they have. Free speech goes both ways.

Of course it goes both ways. If this were a left wing equivilent to Milo I'd be saying the exact same thing. It's not a partisan thing for me. I think for most people it's just a partisan thing, he's right wing so they'd be fine with shutting down his speech. Whether or not that's riots, or dropping book deals or some form of legal restrictions. I mean it's all part of a society that's against free speech rather then for it. So he said that the age of consent should be 13 (the same as it is in Spain) let him defend that idea and rebut it using your own words and logic.
