ParanoiA Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 It's the same subject, man. I'm amazed nobody wants to tell me how badly my country lags behind the progressive agenda in this area. If Europe is abridging free speech, then isn't that right and appropriate and necessary? Shouldn't the US be abridging free speech too? Maybe they can't speak about it... Ok, I admit, that was stupid.
gcol Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 It's the same subject, man. I'm amazed nobody wants to tell me how badly my country lags behind the progressive agenda in this area. If Europe is abridging free speech, then isn't that right and appropriate and necessary? Shouldn't the US be abridging free speech too? In America, the principle seems to be "Welcome to America and be like us", whereas in Europe it is "Open house to all, and we promise to be like you". Different attitudes to free speech seem to reflect these different philosophies. I am not passing an opinion on which is correct.
