Right, I am now going to say this bluntly. It is you and one other person that has ruined Nick's posts for the rest of us. By constantly blindly attacking 'the left', whatever that means, you have become a damned nuisance. Get a life, think independently and lay off with all this party political nonsense. Stop forcing others into defending their positions ad nauseum. This is not a political forum, it is a site to debate all sorts of things. You are sufficiently boring to have really started irritating me. You hijack almost every post and are totally one-dimensional. Perhaps I am on my own in this case. Edited by Mapletree (21 Aug 2017 8.27pm) Gutted if I have ruined Nick's posts.

So what you are saying is that the government can't shut you up, but that private citizens can? Are you sure that's how it works in practice?
Now, the Nazis have the option to go to court to sue for an injunction (in advance) or defamation (after the fact) if they think I'm wrong. They can show up and counter my opinion directly at the time, too. But in court they have to show good cause as to why my opinion needs to be suppressed; otherwise, I'm free to continue. It's why, for example, someone like Trump could continue to claim for years that Obama was born in Kenya and that he can prove it - without actually proving it. Now, Obama could have taken him to court (on his own behalf, not the government's) to get an injunction but, being the sitting President at the time, it would've looked horrible. So he released his full birth certificate, mocked Trump mercilessly about it to his face [Link] and let it go. Because there are some court fights you just can't win, even if you win. It's not a perfect system by any stretch, but I think we're better off not having the sitting government decide what can and can't be talked about. More-so now than ever.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

There are downsides to everything but overall I think America have this area pretty well balanced then.
