Mark Blyth, the economist who's making sense

[UncleBuck]

I'm defending free speech. The message is irrelevant

hate speech =/= free speech

incitement and fighting words are very real, court-tested cases.

Im sorry but, Hate speech is not free speech.

 

[UncleBuck]

i don't care what excuse you try to make for using bigoted slurs. citing south park is beyond pathetic too.

 

[Padawanbater2]

So they shouldn't have the right to hate speech, correct?

Correct

Wow.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Wow.

You didn't seem to have a problem with it then, wtf?

 

[Justin-case]

just stop already.

Very progressive

 

[Padawanbater2]

you're no mark twain.

You didn't criticize me for my writing. You criticized me for using a word you didn't like that triggered your sensibilities.

 

[_gresh_]

You didn't seem to have a problem with it then, wtf?

I had no idea you felt so strongly about wanting to be able to insult people with that word. But you go ahead, curtis.

You are a champion of progressive values.

Oh god, terintino's flicks could be so much better. I personally was disturbed by the excessive use of the word.

I agree, I mean, saying 'N-word' instead of the actual word would have sold much more authenticity...

Have you seen 12 years a slave?

Do you recognize what a disservice it would have been for African Americans if they didn't portray racism how it actually happened?...

You are arguing that portraying racism as it actually happened in film is racist.

I believe that it's racist to censor in film how racism actually took place in reality.

what is the most progressive part about you repeatedly demeaning others using bigoted slurs?

You're mixing fact and fiction, my progressive friend.

what does any of this have to do with you calling people "f***ots" all the time?

"Wanting to be able to insult people with that word"
It's been clearly posted that I don't want to insult anyone, with any words..

It's been clearly shown that I don't want to insult anyone of LGBT proclivities, with any words..

The only conclusion I can draw from this exchange is that you've totally submitted to Buck's line of reasoning, and abandoned mine. So, good luck to you, there. Hopefully if you someday decide to carry a dissenting political opinion, those you choose to run with will still consider you an ally.

Good luck.

LOL, I just can't even right now...

then stop calling people f***ots.

Take it out of context all you want. I'm arguing in context. You can either choose to acknowledge what is actually being argued and help be part of the solution or you can continue to feed your own ego and remain part of the problem.

 

[UncleBuck]

Take it out of context all you want.

what is the context in which your bigoted slurs are appropriate?

 

[twostrokenut]

nazis who say that jews have no right to exist are not expressing a "political difference" you fuck.

interesting. what about hezbollah who think Jews have no right to exist? still support those guys?

I'm highlighting the hypocrisy in Fogdog's appeal. Sanders smashes every other politician in the polls, he says the only poll that matters is during the election. Yet the election happened and he constantly criticizes the results. Don't get upset the logic works in reverse, too. I'm not the one that made the argument.

So.. still thinking Sanders is the most pollpular political figure right now? That's cute. I'm so glad he won the primaries.. in the giant book of myths
