You don't really look like a man looking out for the people when you go after people trying to protect their pensions.

Teachers are government leeches. Who do you think is paying for those pensions? It aint the 1 percenters. This is what happens when you give a blank checkbook to the government. You feed the beast, and it bites you.

The smart move is to POE Luna for lynching Drafter, but the only sane person that sees this is Airmax.

I can accuse you of tunnel defending Lunatic by accepting his lame excuse of "poor town play"

Like I told Airmax, if we, as a rule, allow scum to use that excuse, then mafia will always have an easy and predictable win.

You're just going to conveniently ignore how weak your play was yesterday by lynching the most useful town out of all of us based on wifom double bus.

What worries me is how well Luna is able to spin the weaker town players with wifom garbage which means nobody will have the balls to vote for him any DP.

Admittedly he is the best WIFOM spinner I have ever seen play this game, and he got you to kill our best town player.

We know what Luna does. Let's finish the POE on him. I've read enough of his hundred pages of his defense. His play is undeniably scummy and poor town play is not an excuse to avoid a POE vote. Otherwise, Town would NEVER catch scum due to infinite WIFOM.

Easy. He somehow convinced town that Drafter was scum for lynching 2 scum. You do NOT have to overanalyze this. Just eliminate Luna, call it POE call it whatever, just do it.

If you didn't want to get lynched, you shouldn't have convinced the noobies that double bus PLUS making a case for 2 scum lynches means you are scum.

Then America must be a corrupt authoritarian government because you can be imprisoned for saying the wrong words to the wrong person. 

Scotus disagrees with you. Hate speech is free speech.

A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an “egregious form of content discrimination,” which is “presumptively unconstitutional.” … A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government’s benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

The idea that the government may restrict specific speech expressing ideas that offend strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”

All of those examples need multiple other components for a criminal conviction. Words by themselves have no meaning.

Words are not enough for a corrupt authoritarian government to imprison its enemies.


In other countries, this is not the case, especially Canada.

In fact, a 2017 SCOTUS ruling re-affirmed that hate speech is free speech, meaning the rest of the world lives under a blanket of authoritarian censorship where anyone in the government can have you criminally jailed for speaking forbidden words to the wrong people.

Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, prior to becoming Prime Minister, stated "Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society … It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff."

PEN Canada, an organization that assists writers who are persecuted for peaceful expression, has called on "the federal and provincial governments to change human rights commission legislation to ensure commissions can no longer be used to attempt to restrict freedom of expression in Canada."

According to Mary Agnes Welch, president of the Canadian Association of Journalists, "[h]uman rights commissions were never intended to act as a form of thought police, but now they're being used to chill freedom of expression on matters that are well beyond accepted Criminal Code restrictions on free speech."

A group of several dozen professors from the 7,000-member American Political Science Association contend that recent free speech precedents in Canada put academics at risk of prosecution. The group includes Robert George and Harvey Mansfield, and they have protested holding the scheduled 2009 APSA annual meeting in Canada for this reason. The leadership of APSA selected Toronto as the meeting location.

There have been multiple lawsuits claiming that censorship violates multiple basic human rights, such as Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which protects the fundamental freedoms of thought, belief, and opinion. These accusations have been of the violation of the rights and freedoms through certain types of censorship.

Excuse me? Why the hell are you citing an index that includes self- censorship?


Safe space much?

Not to mention, this is a bunch of opinions from people in Paris who don't have a constitutional right to free speech.

Of course, the Paris organization rates France high while Charlie Hebdo gets massacred and Paris started jailing anyone with an opinion of Mohammed.

PARIS - France ordered prosecutors around the country to crack down on hate speech, anti-Semitism and those glorifying terrorism and announced Wednesday it was sending an aircraft carrier to the Middle East to work more closely with the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.


Authorities said 54 people had been arrested for hate speech and defending terrorism since terror attacks killed 20 people in Paris last week, including three gunmen. The crackdown came as Charlie Hebdo's defiant new issue sold out before dawn around Paris, with scuffles at kiosks over dwindling copies of the satirical weekly that fronted the Prophet Muhammad anew on its cover.
