Violent Violetists Protest Artists

Hi again, dear human rights defenders! Because the [Poll #1840214]

But of course, you wouldn't be able to find a perfect choice among these, and that's for a reason.

Soorryy...

This is the first time in these polls where I actually pretty much completely agree with one of the statements, "Freedom of speech should hold nothing sacred"

[gunslnger.livejournal.com]

I agree with the part that you quoted, but the government shouldn't protect him from all consequences, just violent ones.

If I were dictator of the world, I'd lock 1 and 2 in a room together and then sell the rights on pay-per-view.

Maybe 3, but substitute government inforcement of avoiding it with active promotion of a culture that would avoid it. It's the harder way, but we like doing things not because they're easy, right? :)

Ps. The choice of names rocks.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

I did pick a side, just not any of the other wrong sides :)

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

I outlined a plan.

Btw on the NationStates game, there's the "Dismiss Issue" option which you could choose without consequences. Not here though. I deliberately removed it. ;-)

My fave dailyquote (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1104911.html?thread=88435215#t88435215)...

See? See what happens? This is what happens when you pick a political team and then support it. You're forced to defend it. It's a shitty position to be in, because it's like choosing not to call the cops on your abusive spouse. It never ends well. They will always hurt you. Never support a politician or political party. Never. It makes you a useful idiot.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Exactly the way I read it too.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Well, such an option doesn't exist in parliament. On the other hand, they practically push the Dismiss button almost every time, and postpone the decisions for a later time.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

There's consistency in that too! Tell me about it, I'm a centrist.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

I ain't no ~ist. I iz a ~crat. Techno crat. Cuz I like techno, y'know.

Suk Ing Bong, LOLOL.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Mondays....

[sealwhiskers.livejournal.com]

You are the only one on the right track here.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

I'm truly split. But my dilemma is of a different kind. Should I subscribe to the holy teachings of Pastafarianism, or should I choose Frisbeetarianism!?!? Dammit.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

I'd choose the pasta. Their one god is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. At least you'd never be left to starve.

I'm not familiar with Frisbeetarianism but I assume it's fun.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Torn between two and five, I voted two.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Must admit Miss Kunnt's proposition sounded tempting.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

That lady who charges her crystals in the sun, she is also quite nice and makes cookies.

[chessdev.livejournal.com]

This is one time I cant go along with any of the choices.... usually I can pick the one that stinks **least**
but not this time. 8-)

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Just admit it. You want Big Gubmint as much as the rest of us Bloody Pinko Lefties™.

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

2 is the only rational choice. Freedom of speech must be absolute, even if insulting.

Though, I have to admit, I did like option 5... ;)

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

The gay rights movement decries this blatant disregard for one of its cherished symbols.

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

There's really nothing to debate, 2 all the way.

Fuck 'em if they cant take an insult/joke.
