If you start with removing things that cannot be said we will have already started to break down the free speech that was given to us in protection from a corrupt gov't...

Essentially the establishment will simply use it to futher their own agendas. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17709446 United States 06/12/2012 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] Pretty nice town actually. Considered a middle class outer suburb of Boston. There was a recent proposal by the local Wampanoag Indian tribe to build a huge casino there, not sure what's going on with that, think the town voted it down. It's a NIMBY kind of place. New England towns have what's called 'Town Meeting' where the people actually get to vote on proposals like local laws and regulations. This 'law' is aimed basically at teenagers hanging out and being obnoxious. Like I said, it's a NIMBY town. |

I agree that it is ridiculous but you can't lay this on the gov or TPTB. Dumbass people living there are to blame. |

Matrix-V User ID: 16826374 Canada 06/12/2012 10:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is NOT a law but only a by-law or ordinance or something. laws dont exist anymore. the only 'law' we have is contract law. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has any power over me unless I give them that power through verbal or written consent. a stupid 'law' like this one is just like you cant feed your monkey on a sunday after 2pm. But then again the monkey 'law' is no different that homicide...its just a commercial account drawn into existence ( a charge ) |

This is exactly why pure democracy sucks, because it's tyranny of the majority. The majority of the people at that meeting decided that a minority has no right to say certain words. I bet police officers won't be fined for using profanity, though. |
