    So you favor the Government interfering in the private sphere? Not very conservative of you

    Not “free discourse,” no more “free discourse” than Rush Limbaugh’s or any of the other demagogues’ radio show is “free discourse”

    As the right so often says, let the market decide, if Twitter and such banning Trump is so disagreeable, a competitor should profit

    There are three main means of behavioral modification: Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement and punishment.

    Punishment produces the fastest results, but is the shortest lasting. Positive reinforcement takes the longest but has the longest lasting results.

    Banning shit is punishment. It's punishing people for doing something. Better, IMO, to reward them for being good people.

    Example. If you wanted to end racism in the civilized world, is it better to stamp it out with laws and, when necessary, force or is it better to try to teach others a way of thinking where racism is unimportant because it doesn't exist?

    I've always supported the First Amendment, Witold.

    Have you considered asking someone with an IQ higher than your 85 to ask these questions? Maybe they'll 'splain it to you, Lucy.

    You are just another person on a Witch hunt for racists.

    As if racism is out of control in the USA.

    If the USA is so racist why did Michelle Obama end up with a 69% approval rating & Melania Trump just a 42% approval rating!?

    Also explain why the biggest protest in American history was Black Lives Matter with upwards of 26 million involved in the protests.

    No,you don't.

    You clearly proposed hate speech laws in those 2 comments as options.

    The website. The app still points to the old ip causing the same error. They'll have to update the app in order for it to get that same error. They simply purchased a new server space and have to load backups, etc. to the new server, then update the app to point to the new site IP. Boom...

    Probably will take a couple weeks though to do it all, usually their backups are larger than this site... lol
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    i went over this before with you.
    Limbaugh is a broadcast. Social media is interactive -got the difference?
    I cant speak on a Limbagh broadcast, I can on social media

    This private thing never was envisioned by the founders. Yes there were newspapers that controlled content.
    But there was also pamphleteering and the public square for the common man
    Those dont exist anymore either.

    The public square is now solely social media -it needs to allow unfettered political speech

    Rush Limbaugh will soon be dead and I will drink to the Gods thanking them for his death.

    Dude, only a retarded idiot would think either of those 2 posts of mine had anything to do with proposing hate speech laws or depriving Americans of their First Amendment rights.

    - you're nihilism ( extreme dissatisfaction with the established order) knows know bounds.
    But you'll always have Goldwater!!

    I'm not a fan of Limbaugh either -that wasn't the point -but thanks for playing
