Why are most liberals opposed to printing the Muhammad cartoons? As a liberal myself, I honestly don't get it. Aren't we supposed to side with free speech, unless it's really threatening? Aren't conservatives usually the ones always censoring the media because it offends them (Janet Jackson, gay books, etc.)?
I mean, yes the cartoons are offensive. So big whoop. Go look at the Muslim presses, where Jews are regularly portrayed as pigs and demons.
And yet, it's like the two roles suddenly reversed themselves in this issue. Why? | | It's not about being a liberal, it's about not wanting the fight to start in their own back yard. Just because the newspaper has the right to publish it does not mean it is a good idea. I am glad my paper, the Santa Cruz Sentinel, chose not to publish them, although I admit to being curious and wanting to see them. I would not like to see demonstrations about these issues in Santa Cruz, where there are so many different factions it would soon turn into a war! | People who think being gay is a choice: did you know you can ask gay people themselves? I find it very odd that there's a debate over whether people choose to be gay or not. It's not like trying to ask your dog why he keeps humping your leg; it turns out that gay people speak the same languages that straight people do, and communication between the two groups is free an unhindered. If you are wondering if being gay is a choice or not, you can get your answer by asking an actual gay person.
Do some people, when they speak with gay people, perhaps only hear trombone-like sounds, like when Charlie Brown's teacher speaks in the cartoon specials? | Of course they will say it is not a choice. However some gays do say that they wouldn't choice to be gay. Why is that? If they do choice to be gay, does that mean something negative? Is it a "not my fault, don't blame me, I was born like this"

What do you mean naked,
(nice name), I like to see proof of your claim. What I do know is in that time a woman's orgasm was used to cure various so called female sicknesses like hysteria during that time. So to question whether or not women had them is odd. | Will democrats and republicans be able to work together in harmony? Or will they have to keep sabotaging eachother?
It must be difficult to be a moderate these days....
listening to the crazy far left talk about their plans for a utopian free-for-all...
...and the hypocritical far right who are more concerned about a gay cartoon character than they are about foreign policy. | Harmony isn't the word I would use, but they will grudgingly work together. Think back to the "Gang of 14" that formed the comprimise ending Judicial filibusters and the use of the "nuclear option" in the Senate. A similar middle will be formed for most policy decisions made in the Senate since anything outrageously right-wing won't pass and anything outrageously left-wing will pass by one vote and then get vetoed with no chance of an override.
The end result will actually be a sort of populist domestic policy that should turn out very nicely. Center-left domestic policy is the antidote to what currently ails the current government. Minimum wage increase, deficit reduction, reduction of Rx drug prices, fixing the AMT, making Bush tax cuts permanent for income under $100,000 and letting them expire for income over...these are the types of policies to look for in the next 2 years if the era is marked by gridlock comprimise as I imagine it will be. | Where can I watch the cartoon Gay-Puree? Ok. I'm a fan of Judy Garland and I was excited when I heard that she played the voice of one of the cats. I looked on Youtube and they only have bits and pieces of it. I'm looking for a place where I can watch it for free with NO SURVEYS AND NO DOWNLOADS!!!!!!!! That Graboid is driving me crazy! Thanks ever so much! | You can watch it here; I checked myself.
Veoh.com | Are there any FREE (not torrents or illegal downloads) games where you can build stuff? Not like cartoon games, like phun or roblox, those are gay. | What do you mean build stuff?
Google has a program called "sketchit" or 'sketchup" I forget what it's called. But it allows you to build buildings and other things in it. | Do you agree with the statement "if its not offensive its not free speech"? if not please explain why?
What is the difference between a gay bashing joke and a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad?
what is wrong with "hate speech"? | What is wrong with hate speech is obvious. It is offensive. There is a clear difference between a joke and saying harsh negative things about a particular sexual orientation or religion.
Almost anyhting anyone says can be offensive depending on the person who hears it and how they interpret it. But free speech is freedom to say anything and not EVERYTHING is offensive. If I walk down the street and say the word "the" to 100 people, not a single one will be offended. That doesn't make me saying the word the not free speech.
The United States federal government and state governments are broadly forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting speech. See, e.g., Gitlow v. New York (1925), incorporating the free speech clause. Generally speaking, the First Amendment prohibits governments from regulating the content of speech, subject to a few recognized exceptions such as defamation[33] and incitement to riot.[34] Even in cases where speech encourages illegal violence, instances of incitement qualify as criminal only if the threat of violence is imminent.[35] This strict standard prevents prosecution of many cases of incitement, including prosecution of those advocating violent opposition to the government, and those exhorting violence against racial, ethnic, or gender minorities. See, e.g., Yates v. United States (1957), Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers may sometimes be prosecuted for tolerating "hate speech" by their employees, if that speech contributes to a broader pattern of harassment resulting in a "hostile or offensive working environment" for other employees.[36] See, e.g., Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson (1986), Patterson v. McLean Credit Union (1989).
In the 1980s and 1990s, more than 350 public universities adopted "speech codes" regulating discriminatory speech by faculty and students.[37] These codes have not fared well in the courts, where they are frequently overturned as violations of the First Amendment. See, e.g., Doe v. Michigan (1989), UWM Post v. Board of Regents of University of Wisconsin (1991), Dambrot v. Central Michigan University (1995), Corry v. Stanford (1995). Debate over restriction of "hate speech" in public universities has resurfaced with the adoption of anti-harassment codes covering discriminatory speech.[38] | Good MMORPG like World of Warcraft? Okay, so, I played the trial version of WoW and really like it, so I bought the full version. I came home, the CD was defective AND my computer only has 6 GB left, so I can't play WoW, but I really liked it. So, since I can't play that, is there something like that, but not as hard on your computer.
Not these:
Runescape sucks hard.
Free Realms sucks.
Wizard 101 sucks.
Crap like Club Penguin sucks.
That gay Cartoon Network world things sucks.

www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/… | | Because moderates have a sense of humor?? | Is this gay or what?!?!? we dont have cable
we barely ever get to watch tv anway(sometimes american idol, ugly betty, ghost whisper and sat cartoons) and if we do we have to ask
now my mom was like u guys think u can go and whatch tv whenever you want.... so now we have to do chores to earn minutes of tv to watch but weekends are free
is that retarded or what!!!!!!!!!!!
also im in 9th grade and my mom makes me go to bed at 830 and im like but im in highschool and she wont budge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | I know sweetie life was like that for me except worse because we didn't even have a TV. You just have to sit it out until you go off to college and have your own life, and be careful not to go too wild then! But having a lot of sleep is good for your skin and your mind, so you'll not only look fabulous but you'll do better at school and then have better chances of moving away from home! So cheer up and sit tight, your time will come. |
