Platt: Sure. The networks show vidoes from Bin Laden. Would you censor them?
Ron: Bin Laden is on the top of the hit list as far as I know. I think were getting into a different ball game with the censorship of reporting of said hate speech. It kinda gets turned in on itself like the monty python skit in the life of brian when they were stoning that guy for speaking the name of jehova. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm2BsjACkuI ________________________________ From: X Acto <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 2:28:36 PM Subject: [MD] Free speech Ron: PC, as far as I know, is a social standard for politeness in public nothing more. Hate speech in public places is alive and well, . As far as I know Platt all you need is a permit provided one is granted, otherwise you'll probably get fined for loitering and disturbing the peace if you don't move along and take it someplace else if asked. Platt: I can think of many exceptions to the need to obtain a permit, like spewing hate from the pulpit, on the internet, and from the studios of MSNBC. Ron: I agree Ron: Same goes for School or work, if it bothers others and creates a disturbance and if you refuse to stop, then yes you should be asked to leave. Platt: "Asked to leave" is politically correct language for "fired." Be that as it may, the problem is determining what constitutes "bothering" and "disturbance." I'm bothered and distrubed every day by liberals. :-) Ron: Hate speech is a term for speech intended to offendor intimidate a person or group of people by threatening physical harm (towards people or their property) or inciting others to threaten such harm. It boils down to intent Platt. If you intend to intimidate or threaten a person or group or incite others to do so, you should be fined and jailed. Platt: I presume that means that the Reverand Jermiah Wright should be in jail. Ron: I personally do not care for the guy either, and if he made threats, perhaps he should be. Ron: sorry to ruin your day but a lynch mob is not an extention of free speech. Platt: Neither is imprisoning two women reporters to 10 years hard labor. Ron: I agree N.Korea is trying to force the U.S. into a situation, has been for years. Ron: Terrorists use hate speech don't they? to terrorize others? Is it your opinion that this is their right to free speech?
