How the fuck is there a statute of limitations for rape in New York?

So far it has been.

But that's the thing when one wanders too far left. The good of the people always supersede the good of the individual's rights.

This is no different than people who steal trump signs and rebel flags from people's homes. they feel that their wants/desires should be mandated and everyone else should be forced into their way of thinking.. because it is the 'moral' thing to do. Only they become the oppressors this country fights to free people from.

You choose the strangest examples to make your points. People stealing others' yard signs or flags are . . . stealing. That's a crime, and I haven't seen anyone here argue that it's a good or moral thing to do. Equating such actions with decisions whether to retain this or that member on a site with its own rules for inclusion is simply beside the point.

It's not what they do but why.. Let's go a little deeper than the act of stealing and look at why trump signs and rebel flags are stolen... Someone/theif believes they are in the right. Or better yet they are moral high grounders for stealing or censoring another citizen's right to endorse a canidate or show support for the confederacy... Freedom of speech is not meant to protect popular pro government speech. It is there to protect what the pop culture does not want to hear. It is to protect a citizen's right to post political sign in their own yard, it is their to protect their right to fly whatever flag they want to...

Pull up you tube and search for trump sign snatchers... listen to the propaganda/rational these F_'s have for doing what they are doing.. the same for flag snatchers in the first part of the year.. Same thing.

Self righteous people putting their 'morality' over individual rights

Most of the people here are probably socially and politically left of you, I dare say. And most people here also support your continued membership, so long as you observe the site's rules -- as you have thus far. This isn't a left/right thing, and you're not some champion of individualism fighting a mob of PC do-gooders, whatever you might imagine.

And i acknowledged that in my opening line, or did you have to erase that bit inorder to soap box?

Need I really say "most Americans" will not steal campain signs whether they agree or not???

The point is Some do. The point here is that mentality, (the need to mute something you find objectionable/free speech) is the driving force to just bann someone for not liking what they have to say.

Oh, and that bit about the supposed 'good of the people' superseding the individual's rights . . . while it's true of far left regimes, you do know that it's also a hallmark of far right regimes, right?

I agree it is not a left or right thing. it is a tyranny thing.

I am not a left or right guy. i am a balance person.

BOTH SIDES need to feel like they are heard. That was the mistake the US made just before the civil war. (northerners muted the south.) We need 4 or 8 years of obama just like we need 4 or 8 years of trump... Too far left (which is EXACTLY what the NAZI party was, fanatical left) and you breed a hitler if left unchecked. Too Far right and you crap out the darkage church. if left uncheck. Or if one side or another is muted then civil war breaks out...

This crap of only voting one way or another is just as stupid as being in the middle and swayed by a campaign that high school seniors are told they can't wage.
