No, abortion, death penalty, legal age to drink/marry/enlist/gamble, political strategies, war decisions, and immigration are all topics worthy of discussion. This is absolute nonsense. If I said that Joseph Stalin was just defending himself from rivals, I would be shred to pieces on this forum, and rightly so.
When someone says something stupid, they should be called out. Otherwise they think it is justified to have that belief.
As far as you using the term "slander", there have been no lies or untruths spread about the OP and the particular posts he made in this thread. All objections to his posts have been correct, as he is demonstrating all of the qualities described about him by posting such absolute crap.
frozenice is free to have such "controversial" ideas, but in having them, he should not be surprised to take heat.

We all pass judgment on others, it's all about the manner in which we share those opinions. If it's a crazy idea call it that and move on, or discuss it - but keep it civil. |
