If sticks and stones follow words, the responsibility for that lies with the person throwing them, not the person who spoke.<br /><br />A sophisticated dialogue would be great but it is not a requirement for freedom of speech. It's easy to defend nice and friendly speech but hateful and bigoted speech must be defended as well. I try not to use it myself and I usually don't like it but I do defend the right to us it.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-41242084563848764482010-05-10T06:41:33.330-07:002010-05-10T06:41:33.330-07:00Freedom is not being able to do whatever you want,...Freedom is not being able to do whatever you want, otherwise I'd throttle the person who ran into my car and not pay my bills. And where words go, sticks and stones can follow. This is a demonstrable truth of some of the worst moments in history. <br /><br />Freedom is being protected by law from acts of violence and intimidation, and naked bigotry is intimidation.<br /><br />I will happily support anyone who says threatening cartoonists is not okay, but I want a more sophisticated dialogue around that than "go for it, dudes, and who cares who gets upset, 'cause YOUR rights are all that matters to me".magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690258860393548951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-66334002141376648642010-05-09T22:40:23.628-07:002010-05-09T22:40:23.628-07:00The First Amendment isn't meant to make the wo...The First Amendment isn't meant to make the world a nicer place magpie, just freer.<br /><br />I agree with you on the boundaries of taste JT101, I just don't think that it should be mandatory.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-52820950579201684182010-05-09T07:53:08.067-07:002010-05-09T07:53:08.067-07:00If God truly made us in His image, he must also ha...If God truly made us in His image, he must also have a sense of humor. I think He reads Brain Rage and has all sorts of crazy shit planned for JBW when he stands at the Pearly Gates. Kind of like a hazing. You'll get in James.
