OK. I'll defend the speech rights of KKK supporters and supporters of Boko Haram if they are speaking on a subject, so long as they don't threaten physicsal violence. Bad ideas like those espoused by the above groups should be brought to the light in order to expose their idiocy.

The No True Scotsman Fallacy?

Wow. Completely brash, over-the-top and intentionally provocative. But it is an interesting thought he poses: Since intelligence is a matter of social as well as genetic factors, and since gays test higher for intelligence, does keeping them in the closet force them into heterosexual marriages and propagate their

I'll even defend the rights of the KKK and black nationalists, so long as they aren't advocating direct physical violence. I don't care what your ideas are. To fight them, I'll just counter them with what I feel are better, clearer ideas.

I was trying to figure out who this guy is. So I just watched part of a college speech he gave on Youtube. He's smart, he's got some good ideas though I disagree with some of what he says, he's a provocateur and libertine.

Just checked Youtube, apparently this guy has a lot of speeches online. Watching now.

Don't know anything about this guy. I'm just a fan of free speech. I'm a Democrat, a progressive, and generally support one's right to say anything short of promoting direct physical violence against someone of course.

Hey, harassment is annoying.

OK. It appears he asked his followers to tweet her. That would be annoying.

I thought he posted a critical movie review.

Politics aside, it seems like a speech platform like Twitter, that actually bans speech is as useful as a porn site featuring fully clothed geriatric actors. Such a strategy can't be good for the stock price.

It was a crazy time. There's actually a lot of footage of the riots out there. The demographics of South Central (rebranded South) LA has changed since then. It's a lot less violent and primarily Hispanic. A lot of black families have since moved elsewhere or found themselves as minorities to the Latin American

I don't know — there's something about the heavy guitar riffs I like.

From The Onion, regarding Peak Retro: The U.S.'s exponentially decreasing retro gap is in danger of achieving parity with real-time historical events early in the next century, creating what leading retro experts call a "futurified recursion loop," or "retro-present warp," in the world of American pop-cultural kitsch

Totally — if you don't count Walk This Way by Aerosmith and Run DMC and Bring the Noise by Anthrax (with Public Enemy). I loved the soundtrak, but I hated what followed: Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, etc.

I think this was a great episode that contained some things the author probably didn't pick up on, namely the reference to Philip K. Dick's story "Minority Report." Essentially, what the government is doing is along the same lines as what the government was doing in the story (which was the inspiration for a decent,

As a watcher from the future, one thing that really stands out to me in this awesome series is no iPhones. It's amazing to recall how ubiquitous flip phones were just a few years ago. Wow, things have changed.

It's possible Zimmerman could get off merely on self-defense, depending on what the evidence shows, making the stand-your-ground law a moot issue. It is a ridiculous law, though.
