What the fuck is wrong with Al Sharpton? He's a real jerk in this comic.

If people vote for their own chains in a free and democratic society, they deserve to get what they want. Now whether we still have such a society is debatable. But I still fundamentally believe that any and all forms of censorship are the wrong way to go and will only accelerate the decline into totalitarianism.

So, how about we agree to disagree, mate? ; )

I weirdly agree as much as I hate racist wannabe genociders. I think freedom of speech is important even if it is hateful speech that I don't agree with. I don't think it should be up to the legal system to decide what's okay to say and what isn't. That's a slippery slope that can quickly go badly with the wrong people in power.

That being said, I am most definitely going to look the other way if I see a person getting stomped out for being racist. I would personally make them feel unwelcome in anyway I could. I think it should be left up to the people to make it known that intolerant assholes get intolerant treatment, I guess is what I am getting at.
