Quote:Are you against stop and frisk? I'm going to assume you are against it like I am. You have the blood of young black men on your hands for not supporting it, as do I.Does that have something to do with you having been wrong about your own position and laws, or about anything that we've discussed thusfar? I just feel like we could close one item of grievance politics out before we open another. I think that you'll find that the usual liberal concern arguments don't have much effect on me, at any rate.
Quote:I don't see the difference in me taking the side of freedom on this issue and me taking the side of free speech. Freedom for a little bit of security is not a good trade. You see what HappySkeptic posted and how quickly the slippery slope can become very real. Journalists in trouble with the law for criticizing Islam. Is that the world you want to live in? You're willing to trade less than ten white supremacist terrorist killings per year for the potential of that world?You've yet to take the side of free speech. You've only managed to be profoundly wrong at every turn of the conversation to this point. You're now asking me what kind of world I want to live in, and suggesting that my better world requires that we allow what? Terrorism? Incitement?
Neither of us accept that in the present, and I fail to see how allowing for terrorism or incitement is a requirement to meet our full potential. What slippery slope do you think there is, and to where, to our shared position on the issue of protected and prohibited speech?
