Overall this, to me, is a pure free speech issue. Gel has brought up points such as talking about Nazis in Germany. The thing there is that Nazis are criminals. The limit of free speech is where it infringes on the rights of others (yelling fire in a theatre) or provides information about illegal acts such as child pr0n. Inevitably something somebody publishes is going to offend someone at some point, so you can't base a policy on this grey area of 'offense'. You simply have to educate people on how to properly oppose something they're offended by via publishing their own content, boycotting the publication, peaceful legal protests, boycotting the advertisers, etc. Further, the point has been made that many of the protesters destroying Danish gov't property (despite the fact that the publication was private) do so because they cannot distinguish between private and gov't publications. That is, their own gov'ts typically control the news and they assume the Denmark gov't controls the cartoon paper. Don't know if that's true, but it may be a good point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:196878 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
