    America has taught the world that the distinction between legal and illegal is completely immaterial. The only thing that matters is who has the bigger gun. (or bomb, or plane, or ship etc).

    idiocy has nothing to do with whether it is a form of expression or not. Burning a book or flag is idiocy as well, but it is still a form of expression. My basic point was that all countries, all societies put restrictions on freedoms of speech and freedoms of expression. Some very much more so than others', but that acting out of the belief that only the US has it right, is not the correct course of action. Flame away for expressing the US is not perfect.

    I'm not familiar with that specific piece. But, it wouldn't surprise me one single bit. I think honest news reporting is almost non-existent.

    The examples requested by Darius were for news outlets. Pretty clear in his post. The attack on darius' english skills wa unfounded and petty. Specially since you got it wrong on top of that.

    Clothing, or lack thereof, has been a very powerful form of expression throughout history.

    You defended Hawkins while admitting you don't understand his theories. I merely pointed out that religous people do the same thing.

    What news outlet does Michael Moore work for?

    Physical harm is the easy one. There are restriciton on freedom of expression because the actions are deemed unaccetable by society. Nudity is an example of that.

    The second amendmend is there to ensure government cannot do that!!!!

    Do you believe that people don't misrepresent themselves and don't go to protests to instigate and escalate the violence?
  11. SkyDekker
    Just like we can conclude you want every Muslim exterminated.
  12. SkyDekker
    Ah, so it was another one of your posts in which you really had nothin to add.
  13. SkyDekker
    Certainly not when you are convinced the motivation of both parties is identical,

    Sure he did, in Kenya. You of all people should know that.

    Then start in your own country, since you feel your human rights are being violated.
  16. SkyDekker
    Sure you can. Free Speech and Freedom of Expression is restricted in all countries around the world. Perhaps THAT is the problem then..... trying to drag idiots kicking and screaming into the 21st Century is just not going to be easy. It's restricted in the US as well. Most Americans just happen to be OK with those restrictions or at least are willing to accept that society at large thinks those restrictions are in order.

    You are right, he was clearly specifically taking about Human Rights in the post I replied to.
  18. SkyDekker
    Sure you can. Free Speech and Freedom of Expression is restricted in all countries around the world.
  19. SkyDekker
    I'm not specifically talking Human Rights. The rest of your post is drivel.
  20. SkyDekker
    No, that's not what I meant. Some people are comfortable with restrictions on freedoms that Americans are not comfortable with.
  21. SkyDekker
    What about TOLERANCE for people and countries who do not want to be like Americans?
  22. SkyDekker
    That is one of very many options and certainly not a guarantee.
  23. SkyDekker
    You just made the same argument most church elders make. Difference is you believe Hawkins to be right and believe religion to be wrong.
  24. SkyDekker
    it was getting rather cold in my office.
  25. SkyDekker
    No problem, thanks for the retraction!
