Christian group books anti-gay ads to appear on buses

[Aegrus]

Where's your comeback? The one where you deny that you're allowing deaths? You don't have one, because you know that homosexuals will be killed for this, but you don't grasp the weight of it. You'd rather cling to a higher morality so that you can feel clean, and you need to stop. Think. Remove your anger for a second. You're dealing with lives, and you need to see that and stop being so selfish.

You're arguing the positive- that my words will kill people and that we need censorship. Provide proof that censorship has been effectively used and can be a driving force for equality, and I'll admit that I'm wrong.

Provide proof, or I need refute nothing.

Nevermind. . . I stand corrected. I assumed that any power that was forced to resort to censorship would invariably become as corrupt as the people it opposed, but I was unware that anti-hate speech laws have been used effectively and respectfully in many European countries for years.

Calling homosexuality a treatable defect sounds like hate speech to me, so in light of the evidence I've seen, I recant my opinion. I was wrong. I realize now that I was perhaps. . .naive, in insisting that people would pick the correct choice if two were strongly presented. Sometimes, censorship is required for the overall good of humanity, and for the individual safety of people. Consider this my surrender in this debate.

I do maintain, though, that any group employing censorship should be required to provide a great deal of empirical proof that they are correct before censoring their detractors. But since homosexuals certainly have proof that their orientation can't be and doesn't need to be treated, I now believe that censorship in this case would be for the best.
