So do we.
Quote:What if someone would be in support and voice his support, for a crime which is so grose and disgusting that it would be perceived as criminal activity in most countries.
That is utterly irrelevant. If they are not using the forum to commit the actual crime, they can talk about it as much as they like.
Quote:What if a forum member were in support of childrape?
Again, the crime is irrelevant. You are allowed to voice your support of any activity, legal or illegal, as long as it is understood that our allowance does not necessarily mean we share the same views. Moreover, we allow the discussion of such activities so that people who oppose them may voice their objections.
Quote:Some of us have been talking about drugs and the use of drugs which could be seen as criminal activity. There was a member here who denied the holocaust which outraged me quite a bit and would be illegal where I come from.
And when angry I might even overreact, but to my knowlege I havent jet reported and probably never will, report a person simply because of his opinion.
Good, because in my opinion, any law that forbids denial of the Holocaust is a fucking stupid law and is only an attack on freedom of expression. Punishing idiots is not going to get you anywhere.
Quote:But frankly I would feel much more comfortable in the company of a methjunky, neo nazi, radical feminist, grining african warlord with a necless made of human fingerbones or communist.
Than in the company of someone who voices support for the legality and decriminalisation of rape of children.
Tough. You're in their company, but you have the ability to put them on your ignore list, or just stay away from any threads they are in. You can perform self-censorship, but we will not perform it for you.
