Ann Coulter was warned she could be jailed for reciting her boring shock-jock routine to a room of a couple hundred people. So not that open.

Oh, I didn't see that you edited your post instead of replying to my question. And really, you don't think "up to six months in prison and some $31,000 in fines" for drunken anti-Semitic comments isn't the kind of horror free speech "absolutists" are talking about? Stephen Fry was investigated for blasphemy; how many…

In case this is not sarc: they do regularly. Nearly half of cases are unanimously decided, I think.

The case was Schenck v. United States. Schenck, a Socialist, mailed fliers to men urging them to refuse the draft in 1917. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who also argued that forced sterilization is constitutional (because "three generations of imbeciles are enough"), cited the hypothetical of shouting fire in a crowded…

I agree with The Slants viewpoint

You can never stop the signal

I don't think that limit has ever been established. It was an analogy in a case that was later overturned.

Can you name one?

Hey, it's working again! So many Likes to review…

Except, these are human beings in the future, so surely they would be familiar with the Church of Latter-Day Prometheus Hate and know exactly what to do in this situation.

And Theron's character is the hardnosed captain of the expedition, isn't she? It was her time to shine!

I wasn't a huge fan of that first Vader scene, but I really like that he has some fun pushing around an underling that he knows he can't just choke to death. Before the choke pun, he gives Krennic some sass about how long the construction has taken. There's no reason for Vader to be humorless.

…You're gonna trot that out in a discussion about an HBO doc?

It might be distasteful, but you don't start by asking for the 'tasteful' or 'reasonable' amount in compensation. You start high. Unless CBS goes full-Gawker in the trial, he's not actually walking away with 3/4 billion.

Ben Affleck (right) plays a smooth criminal in Live By Night

These critics oughta Argo and try to make a movie themselves before mouthing off.

Call it gibberish you may, but writ bold with care and feeling it was! Where others feign depth with sensational locales or absurd revelations, the Tweltfh dared develop a new world with specificity and hist'ry, complete with idiosyncratic locution.

I think - or at least like to think - that's why VII never did much for me. It felt way too soap opera/anime/"Japanese" to me, with nonsense about clones and indepth discussions about fictional science and rather alien motivations. IV, VI, Chrono Trigger, they were all pretty comprehensible and the characters…

Sorry, I was mocking Wes Lawson, who decried people going to the extreme of this never happening, and then in the next sentence embracing the other extreme that "this happens all the goddamn time."

So, same thing they did last year.
