Subject is getting lost in too many words. 

Thank you for finding a polite way to tell me I'm too chatty :-) I do know...

Are you saying drawing a pic of Mohammed is hate speech?

Yes - but I'm not sure how to say it with fewer words. I also realize it's not a popular opinion

But, I'm too tired tonight to even get into it

Let's just say that intent is everything - and sometimes people dress things up in a camouflage of jingoism

OK. Today I have been trying to read various opinions on it - - at various sites.

Gotta say, the sign: "Blasphemy is NOT a Human Right" - - - pisses me off.

The entire free speech debate is endlessly fascinating

Gotta defend the Geller creature's rights - but it makes me feel like putting my own eyes out

No one has the right not to be offended. That's life, it's what makes us adults. We see something that offends us, we shrug our shoulders and move on. Yet it feels as though the more into the 2000's we go, the more people think that because they don't like it, it must be illegal or wrong.

Oh boy, can't wait to see what the next fifteen years will be like.

I had to evolve to support the right of free speech of Westboro church.

Believe, I am not defending this group. Only the right to not be forced to adhere to a religious belief. They do not have that right.
