Here's something that I find a little vexing - up until this past weekend, when a white supremacist murdered someone, all sorts of companies, didn't have any issues doing business with Nazis? Somehow murder put Nazis in the column of 'groups not to do business with', but everything prior to that got a pass?

In that case, I'll be wrong all the live-long day.

Incorrect. Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim are fitfully amusing, but don't do 'jokes'. Eric Andre is just decidedly unfunny. Pranks, shock humour and acting like an idiot isn't funny.

I submit to you that his acting awful is the joke. If you don't get that, maybe the show isn't for you.

It's not like free speech is stifled in Canada - basically, as long as you're not advocating for the destruction of a race or creed or trying to give a speech indicating that the holocaust didn't happen, it will never affect you.
My whole point is that America has exalted the first two amendments above all else and…

I'm just saying that someone who supported the ACLU and their mission decided that maybe they had gone too far and had lost sight of things and so she resigned. That this issue was enough to fracture the ACLU itself.

"Absolute" free speech is an entirely American construct, much like the right to bare arms. Those are your values, not mine.

I'm sure it couldn't work in your political system - but it's working just fine in our parliamentary system and hasn't been abused in the least. It's about STOPPING SPREADING HATE.

Your trust in 'facts' vs. 'lies' is admirable, but you forget that half of the people in the world are stupid - you attribute logic to people who have none.

So where do you draw the line? NAMBLA meetings should be OK, as long as they're talking about molesting kids, and not doing it, I guess. As long as they're talking about hurting people, they must be protected?

Except that's not how the law works.

How's Fox news treating you? And Mark Steyn wasn't prosecuted - you can't be 'prosecuted' by a human rights commission - and the complaint was dismissed. Also, it's not what 'the government doesn't like' - it is any writing, sign or visible representation that advocates or promotes genocide.

I used to support them - now I think that they're a group of naïve idiots. Their belief that it's just as important for a Nazi to get to espouse his views than it is to hear a countering comment can go fuck a duck.

Nope. Canada has free speech, but hate speech is outlawed. None of the shit that went down in VA would have happened in Canada.

I wish that there was a way that we could keep people like this from participating in public life - they have such backwards, fuckheaded beliefs that have no part of a civilized society. Maybe we can come up with a New Australia to send them to where they can screw up each others lives and let the adults live in…

We're not supposed to be 'rooting for him'. This isn't a fucking children's pantomime show. I really don't understand why people think that the show owes them a protagonist that they need to 'cheer for'.

Another person who doesn't seem to understand the show that they've been watching for the past few years.

I guess it's because the show runners assume that the people watching the show have a sense of humour.

It being for Noob Noob is much funnier - do people forget that this show is a comedy? You're in the wrong place if you're looking for consistent narrative structure.

And the net wasn't even put up properly. He just half-assed the whole thing.
