Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2237986 yes free speech like "i don't like that person", "i don't like that religion" but "kill that person!" should be allowed? |

No. censorship is bad. There is no room for censorship apart from not yelling Fire in a crowded theater. Frankly, I think since most folks could verify there isn't one either by sight or smell I think there should be no exceptions. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24454971 Free speech means that you can say anything you want. You're a hypocrite if you say you like free speech but you want to ban a particular book because it says something you find offensive. You could say that you wanted to kill everyone, but until you act on that, you have not committed a crime. No harm, no foul. |
