A fair response, I can see that. But also how many people are we going to allow hurt? I can see it can be a slippery slope in either direction. However, question the unlimited nature of free speech is something most people consider taboo. I for one have witness the financial harm and physical harm stupidity can cause. I dunno, with recent things I have seen politicians say and do along with their followers. It hurts one perspective a little.
@Blackout, That is something I would like to see. Some kind of checks and balances because the psychological trauma I have seen personally done by unchained religious discrimination is rather shocking. However, someone disagreeing is one thing. Group of corporations with billions of dollars to make a multitude believe lies is something else which can go both ways mind you.
