Then he is free to discuss away with anyone who actually wants to have that discussion with him. The last time I checked, riots weren't legal anyway and they're not about to be. I'm not sure what the problem is.
Duh, the problem is that we should have a society that promotes free speech across the board. People shouldn't lose book deals over suggesting the age of consent be the same that it is in much of western Europe. I've seen a million of these discussions online. It's always the same. People take your position when it's people they don't like politically or religiously and cry free speech when it's one of their own. Free speech is more then just a law. I don't think you and me are actually at a huge disagreement, but re-read the first few pages of this thread and tell me that there aren't anti-free speech sentiments in it.
