sure he is ... but there will be consequences.

Is life always a struggle for you?

freediver wrote on Dec 16th, 2016 at 6:10pm:
I disagree with Toben, but unlike you I don't see that as a justification for putting him in jail.


i wasn't asking about tobin .... for such a proponent of free speech, why is it then that half your forum members are banned from feedback? Or is free speech only something you cheer for when it suits you?

So when you say he is free to ignore the court orders, you lie about him being free, because freedom is an old ideology?


no, i mean there are consequences to his actions. I'm not sure why you struggle with this so much. He can say what he likes, he just has to be willing to suffer the consequences for what he says.



freediver wrote on Dec 15th, 2016 at 10:34pm:
Sure. I support freedom of speech, and I am not confused by what that means either.


you mean you support it right up until that free speech is about something you disagree with, don't you?


You are the one who is struggling. Which of the following is correct:

a) Toben was free to ignore the court orders
b) If you get jailed for something, then you are not actually free to do it


If you get jailed for something, then you are not actually free to do it


Yes you are not entitled to treat the court with contempt, they lock you up for that.

Let's try this again John.

Which of the following is correct?

a) Toben was free to ignore the court orders
b) If you get jailed for something, then you are not actually free to do it

I could ban every single one of you from this entire website, and it would not infringe on your rights or freedoms in any way. Do you think I let you leave your trail of stupid all over this forum because I think you have a right to do so? I am being generous, that is all.

Is that your answer to the question DNA? Are you saying a) is not correct?

You never did say whether you think it is right to deny unpopular people their freedom. Would you like to have another go?

FD, you never did say whether you agree with Moses. Would you like to have another go?

Let's clear this up once and for all. You're online now. All you have to do is say whether you agree that Muslims are inbred, sub-human untermenschen who are genetically predisposed to squat to piss (the inferior male species, of course).

If you say nothing, we'll take that as a yes, okay?

sure it does. You want to control what we do and do not say . That's an infringement on our 'free speech' (not that I am disagreeing with your right to do so). Of course, you can justify it to yourself that it's different all you want, hypocrites always do. Just don't expect anyone to believe it when you do.

Are you suggesting that free speech implies a right to get your idiotic views published on whatever website you want?

Can you explain, for the benefit of any of your fellow apologists who somehow think you are not saying something incredibly stupid?

Being locked up for contempt of court should not have a relationship to popularity though as with most things being popular does seem to allow people to get away with more.

Oh good. Maybe you can explain it to John Smith. He already realises that you are not free to do something if you are jailed for it, but is having trouble joining the dots.

What about one step back in the process, in the establishment of the court order. Should your popularity dictate whether you get a court order that criminalises your opinion?

I did not say he was. This is what I said. Read it carefully now: Do you support freedom of speech, as well as jailing people for their opinion?
