Isn't it ironic how you support Canada prosecuting people who
express disagreement with others, but you do not support God for judging the
wicked?
And HYPOCRITICAL!
AND PRIDEFUL, "we are the arbiters of correct thought"

The value of speech is too high to curb it by prosecuting those who
misuse it. When I was growing up, those in authority worked on the
those on the receiving end of bullying. I was told, "sticks and stones
may break your bones but words will never hurt you." Although the
proverb might not be entirely accurate, I needed to hear
this. This made me develop a thick skin. I realized that
words only hurt me if I let them hurt me. I much more favor this
approach than putting bullys in jail. A true bully will eventually
move toward violence anyway, and that is when the system will then
discipline him and correct the evil root which he had allowed to grow within
him.
If Canada develops a lot of wimps who cannot handle any amount of
criticism, we will know that I was right about how their approach is wrong
in dealing with this problem.
