Now please, let's shut the conversation down by calling everyone a bigot rather than discussing the criticism. That really shows how educated and loving of free speech you are. Oh wait, no, no it doesn't. It shows your intellectual cowardice.

This reply is a perfect example of my grenade throwing analogy. Congratulations.

American Republicans are just as bad.

I try to be objective when it comes to Democrat vs Republican politics, but this is just plain false. 80% of Republicans want drawing a picture of Jesus (or whatever else) to be illegal? Umm source please? Let's not make ridiculous false accusations about an entire group of people.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
