Primavera Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 This country is turning into a dictatorship. Much as I dislike what the guy stands for I would rather we had freedom of speech than see someone get the equivalent of a murder sentence for expressing his opinion. What next - if I tell someone to jump off a cliff I get life for attempting to incite suicide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I dislike what the guy stands for I would rather we had freedom of speech than see someone get the equivalent of a murder sentence for expressing his opinion. What next - if I tell someone to jump off a cliff I get life for attempting to incite suicide? that's not really a good comparison though is it? There's a massive difference between telling someone to jump off a cliff and someone using religious ideology to incite people to actual murder. freedom of speech doesn't cover shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre because its dangerous. as such it doesn't cover people influencing others to commit crimes, especially murder.

You can't see a difference between expressing an opinion while living in a democratic society, and encouraging people to murder the democratically elected representatives of that same society? Please tell me you don't vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
