Should racism/sexism/homophobia/etc. be censored?

[shickingbrits]

What if you have some known unknowns?

[mrswdk]

The point is to make it crystal clear how abhorrent their views are.

And if that doesn't work then tell their mommy and she'll take away their Playstation.

What if you have some known unknowns?

Then debate about the allegedly known boundary of 'unknown'. Much of metaphysics is about this.

No topic should be taboo, as long as fellow site users address the topic, rather than the person. Then everything should be fine.

Agree, well said.

...except:

I should be allowed to vent/preach/share my distrust of hetrosexuals, dismissing them as breeders, conformist sheep and needy simpletons. .

Except, these are clearly antagonistic labels and therefore not truly discussing the topic.

So while your stated opinion is apropos, you then proceeded to essentially violate it.

[mrswdk]

His labels have negative connotations but they are still expressing an actual set of views that can be debated.

[Gillipig]

what the f*ck is "insert blank" and why do people want it censored?

It's your mom's saggy tits and her equally saggy pussy lips.
Why they want to censor it is self explanatory.

Should bigotry be actively censored and punished on the fora or not?

No, but on the condition I get to call them c-units.

Three cheers for free speech. Welcome to the rainbow!

[shickingbrits]

Should I start to act homophobic, racist, etc, or do I have to wait?

[Lootifer]

First rule of not being a dick is, well, dont be a dick.

Glad someone picked up on that......

Unfortunately, when bigotry and the like is censored, it prevents other people from detecting who is a bigoted, racist turd.

true, now BBS are you insinuating that racists are the shit?

[BigBallinStalin]

It depends on the racist. If the racist is god-like, then he's a godlike shit who will most likely be rolling around on dog turds in the local dog park.
