“Constitutional rights should be equally selectively recognized for all or we don’t deserve them whatsoever”

Your argument is basically “I don’t like this thing so we need to ban it”. Very progressive of you.

I’m always on the side of the 1st Amendment. You can disagree with me all you want.

Except you’re going the wrong direction. Taking away free speech from white people because black people haven’t been afforded is petty. Black folks have a right to be petty about a lot of things at this point but that argument is dangerous. If minority communities haven’t been allowed to exercise free speech, we…

Constitutional rights are inalienable and the logic behind protecting the speech of Nazis, radical Islamic clerics, Scientologists, Pyramidiots, flat earth conspiracy theorists is that if we create an exception for one very bad ideology, others may certainly follow. This country also struggled with this concept during…

More importantly, such a ban would regressively take us further down the path of infringement on human rights.

I come down on the side of free speech, even for Nazis and Confederates.

Coming from a fighting game background, it’s a case where if the exploit wasn’t banned at the tournament (and depending on how the exploit is executed, that may not be a realistic route), it’s fair game. It’d be on the organizers to make that call and the developers to patch it out, if it was to be removed.

guy sounds like a nutcase

What political goals do people have as they loot their neighbor’s gas station or store?

The conversation is not explicitly about defining something in the context of race...unless you’d prefer to use the term “race riot” because that’s so much better, right?

From dictionary.com:

I dont know anything about Broadway but arent actors replaced all the time?

Are you surprised there are legal ?atinos holding government jobs in America or something? What am I missing?

Yeah but it seems like a pretty weak trade when they make you give up your free health care, housing, and food!

It’s not coercion because there’s no threat and no intimidation. Nobody’s saying “get snipped or go to jail” they’re saying “you’re going to jail, but if you want a one time shot at spending less time in jail here’s an option”. There is a huge difference there and I can’t (but also can) believe that the ACLU doesn’t…

That means they weren’t convicted of a crime.

I mean, this may be a small positive for some small groups. A lot of reconstructionist pagan groups have gotten in trouble over this sort of stuff, even on private property festivals. It’s been a big way for Christian cops to harass “weirdos” for a long time. I’ve always thought it’s not fair some jackass can carry an…

I had HPV as a teenager. And pre-cancer in my cervix. It was real fun to hear the word “cancer” and “we will have to burn a layer of skin inside your vagina” at 17. So I get tested because I’m afraid of it coming back. Sometimes we like to go to strip clubs together and strippers are extra attentive to attractive…

(there are midwives of all gender identifications, but I’ll default to “she” here)
