Grenades thrown at a mosque in Le Mans. There have been several attacks including a bullet fired at a mosque since yesterday's attacks. Sorry for non French speakers http://www.ouest-france.fr/apres-lattentat-charlie-hebdo-une-grenade-vise-une-mosquee-du-mans-3101622 On Thursday morning, an explosion was reported in a kebab shop near a mosque in Villefranche-sur-Saone, eastern France.

post from reddit I found very interesting: And so it goes..
Islamic extremists commit acts of terror, Right wingers get more ammunition to scare people into taking their side and villifying all immigrants - particularly muslims - the muslims who are not yet radicalized are starting to get scared that skinheads are going to kick their heads in, so they clump together and create ghettos, essentially - everyone else sees this and gets more afraid - more confusion and hatred spreads, and boom goes the powderkeg. We've got ourselves another kristallnacht.
And the few who refuse to take a side between the "patriots" and the islamic theocrats are going to get sandwiched in the middle, as always.
And in the aftermath, people in the middle will be blamed on par with everyone else, of course. Look at germany post nazism, for example. There were many germans who absolutely hated hitler and wanted no part of his bullshit, didn't buy a word of the nazi party ideology, but in hindsight we tend not to think of those people. They're just all collaborators, and we sit around wondering how we ever let it get this bad in the first place. Why people didn't stop their hate rhetoric for five minutes and just think.

This was quite thought-provoking, thanks for this. The only thing acts of terror really achieve is to allow right wing governments to remove more of our liberties in the name of security, or defense. Think American post-9/11.

You know, that is exactly what terrorist try to achieve. The Terrorists might look silly, and unable to win against the west, but think about it... All that shit that happened after 911. The terrorists achieved their goal pretty well. The western countries are so scared of them that they started doing all kinds of stuff that limits the liberties of their own people. The terrorists won long ago.

The problem is, that if one guy runs around with an AK, killing a dozen people in a school, for the reason that his teacher gave him bad marks, no one really cares.
But if a Muslim runs around with an AK, killing a dozen people, for the reason that someone criticized his religion, everyone starts freaking out.

They are both insane. I don't see what point you are trying to make, school shootings are abysmal compared to the threat of radical Islam.

He is insane, but as I said, we are trying to prevent school shooters from getting insane. We are not trying to prevent muslim ideas supporting terrorism to enter our country.
Title: Re: Violence in France
Post by: Olafson on January 08, 2015, 10:21:11 pm
Obviously it is hard to prevent ideas from spreading. The only way to stop those ideas from spreading is to inform the people. To tell them that harming other people is not a solution. In school, I learned exactly that. I don't know where you grew up, but in theory they should have told you that too.

So, tell me, how are we not trying to prevent those ideas from spreading.

If you are talking about foreign people entering our country, as far as I know, known terrorists, or members of terrorist groups are not allowed to enter our country and it is forbidden to join or fund a terrorist organization.

Both events, the school shooting and the muslim going amok are equally as bad/good. There is no difference. Just because a specific group of people tends to turn insane more often doesn't mean that certain events should be ignored or highlighted.

Its only common sense that it is more highlighted. Because those perpertrating the act our not a part of the social and cultural 'in' or 'us' group. Due to the fact they are from outsider groups means that they are going to be under more scrutiny for their actions. Nothing wrong with that, it's just how us humans work. I do not understand why everyone wishes to change basic human intuition instead of working around it. Our mental schema system is designed to work in such a way and has done so for thousands of years.
Title: Re: Violence in France
Post by: Chosen1 on January 08, 2015, 11:03:42 pm
There is an obvious problem behind Islamic extremism - Wahhabi interpretations of the Quran.

Also, each school massacre that happens here in the United States gets atleast 3 months of coverage in the media here, and then several references from people in the media who want to abolish the 2nd amendment of the US constitution. There have been about 5 major school shootings since the Columbine massacre, and there have been films and documentaries based on each. School shootings are hardly ignored in the media and popular culture.

There is no easy solution to them because they are commited for different reasons. You might be thinking of another somewhat obvious solution, but it will hardly fix this problem and only cause more.

imo teach people to not be hotheads would be a better solution than gun control. Criminals will always find a way to kill someone anyway, better to just find a way to not raise criminals. Most of the school shootings are committed by complete losers and social outcast who've spent most of their highschool life getting bullied, it'd be better to stop developments that turn people antagonistic like preventing bullying or exclusion in the school yard. The media usually fails to point those things out since the controversy behind guns gives them more viewers to which they can show advertisements to.

Or as kim said give guns to teachers, then everyone will be antagonistic and will kill each other and then there will be no one around to have any problems.

I'm assuming you're antigun, but think about this:

banning alcohol only increased alcoholism and the crime rate skyrocketed
banning drugs only increases drug addiction and the crime rate skyrockets
banning guns = ?

If people want a gun to commit a crime, they wont stop committing a crime to get it.
I do not think that the guy who wants to murder someone with a gun will stop doing it just because he commits a crime by getting a gun illegally...

Weapon laws are fine as they are right now. You are allowed to buy a gun. It is rather hard, the guy who wants a gun needs to do all kinds of tests, you need a clean crime record, and it is rather expensive and takes time. Besides that, you are not allowed to buy any sub machine guns, rockets launchers etc. That is fine.

The law just needs a simple addition/change. Wearing guns in a concealed way should be allowed. If you would be allowed to wear it underneath your jacket (concealed) maybe it would help with the crime rate.

As a robber or a rapist, I would think twice if I really want to rob that person. Maybe he/she is wearing a gun.

That's already legal in many states. Nobody really does it except occasionally during demonstrations and stuff because it's impractical and inconvenient. Nobody has never been shot because of it.

Open-carry is better etiquette though, if there are any regulations that need to be in place, open-carry has to be one. Sort of a sign of respect to let people know where your gun is and if you have one that you have one. It'd only teach people fear if it was uncertain whether or not their fellow citizens were armed. The open-carry allows people to treat guns maturely rather than a coveted big-kids toy.

Yea many states already have legal open carry, at the same time automatic weapons are also legal in many states.. my cousin moved to mine a while back he didn't even need to register them and just had to fill out a simple form.  But you better be rich if you wanna try and afford them along with the taxes.

http://www.theclause.org/2013/02/gun-control-five-reasons-why-it-wont-work/
Reason #1: Is the American People affraid of a minority because it bears guns? Is that democracy?

Reason #2: The Consitution isn't a religion. American citizens have the right to amend it.

Reason #3: Colunbine High School massacre: at the end of the day, "legal" weapon providers were involved. Friends of the teens bought the weapons legally. They were not imported from the Middle East or Eastern Europe by some criminal organization. In a normal country, obtaining guns so easily when you are teenager from a middle class family not connected to criminal networks would be unthinkable.

Reason #4: Sophistry again. Firstly horrific accidents happen because of firearms, and this is violent, especially when a baby kills his mother or when a young girl kills the guys who was "teaching" her how to shoot. Secondly there is different forms of violence, violence doesn't necessary mean shooting someone or killing. And finally it's obvious that a society in which people refuse to keep or bear guns is much more peaceful.

Reason #5:  Not a reason. It's not because you need to "target the source of the problem" that you shouldn't target the problem itself too. It would be like saying that instead of putting criminals in jail we should target the source of the problem. This is idiotic.

Secondly you can't detect all forms of mental disorders that could lead to mass killings. Moreover, it's not true that the cause of mass shootings is mental health. Anders Breivik was judged to be sane.

Exactly. And I wasn't even talking about the gunlaws in the United States. Because I know nothing about it. I think in some states of the US it is hillariously easy to obtain a gun.
In Germany, and France however, it is rather hard to get one. You cant just go to a shop and purchase one.

Besides that, as said before, just because a gun was bought legally doesn't mean that it was obtained legally...

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime France has a murder rate of 1 per 100 000. The rate is close to what you can find in other civilized European countries like Italy (0.9), Germany (0.8), Spain (0.8), United Kingdom (1),
Czech Republic (1). The United States however have a murder rate of 4.7, the same as Niger.

Post by: Nipplestockings on January 10, 2015, 11:42:53 am
Yes, a country with a far higher population, more diverse socioeconomic spectrum and a problem with poverty among immigrant and economically stagnant communities has a problem with homicide.

What are you attributing this to?
Title: Re: Violence in France
Post by: MaxLam on January 10, 2015, 11:55:56 am
I was just saying that your meme is wrong. That's also true for other crimes:


- Robbery: In 2006 the USA had a rate of 146.4, above the highest quartile. In 2004 France had a rate of 10.8, below the lowest quartile.

- Burglary: France (622.4) is slighty behind the USA (714.4)

- Rape: With 180.1, France is in the median. The USA however are above the highest quartile with 786.7.

http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/Crime-statistics/International_Statistics_on_Crime_and_Justice.pdf


I don't see however how "far higher population" can cause crime. The density is much higher in France. It's the equivalent of what you can find in Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. There is 66 million inhabitants in France, the equivalent of California + Texas.

There is also a lot of poverty amongst immigrants in France. The latest events are directly a result of this poverty. I don't attribute the crime rate to the sole ownership of weapons, this was merely an answer to your meme.

Title: Re: Violence in France
Post by: Nipplestockings on January 10, 2015, 12:20:59 pm
Because along with the USA's population being larger, it's also far more diverse. New England is roughly the same size as a typical European country, with a higher HDI, similar GDP, and similar crime rate. In France, the population is not nearly as diverse and so the crime rate, HDI, etc. is roughly the same in every part of the country. The laws, economic standards, and regulations are also the same across the board, which is not how it works in the US.

Anyway, the 'meme' I posted was not to be taken seriously - just bait, like most of the shit in this thread. The data in my image does seemed to be backed up by numerous sources, but I don't know with what criteria they came to that conclusion, nor do I really care enough to find out. The quip about weapon laws in France was also unrelated.
Title: Re: Violence in France
Post by: Olafson on January 10, 2015, 02:02:32 pm
Question is also if those statistics only take "mainland" France and US into account or if they count all those little Islands too.
I would imagine that the cultural differences between them are quite large.

And yes, you are right. The US has a much broader diversity.
A direct comparison is stupid anyway. You need to pick a state if you want to compare it to France. France is centralized, all departments have the same laws (I think). The US doesn't. It would make more sense to compare it to a single state.

Many Muslims also supported the National Front during the last elections, especially in Marseille. This is far right: neither right nor left but opportunism, lies, and hatred.

Wow, you really need to learn2internet. Of course, using the old left/right dichotomy is unrealistic at best nowadays, but maybe you do realise that I was using an extremely simplified version of the spectrum just to illustrate Vice's rather progressive viewpoint on this specific article?
 I'm sorry I don't keep up with the times, but I really don't need some hipster amateur with a backpack "reporting" on some random obscure events around the globe to provide my info, thanks. The few videos I have seen from Vice News often seem to even lack that distinct editorial viewpoint, and, while being made by amateur youngsters, allow some seriously un-professional elements to creep into the reportage (including the allowance of human emotion to dictate the flow and focus of the story, the "journalists'" personal view  coming into play, and other small niggles like typos and shit). However, to be honest, I havent seen too many of their videos, the few vids and articles I have read have usually been focused on sensationalist titles and openings, and an interesting lean towards open-mindedness and liberal ideals and everything that comes along with that. And a distinct, all-encompassing distaste for violence.

So no, I have no idea what Vice is really like (and I really dont care, to be honest), even though it's interesting to see why you think Vice is run by such people (these "anarchist liberal vegans" (lel)). One of the founders is like an inbred redneck who gets drunk and shoots shit. How do you know?  ???

A bullet of that caliber would not necessarily make all that much of a mess. If you really want a comparison and don't mind some pretty brutal footage, look up videos of ISIS shooting people point blank range (mainly with AKs) and it looks pretty much the same. The bleeding comes afterwards, especially if it's done with FMJ rounds, which make the wound much cleaner and more direct.

There is bipartisan support for the patriot act in American politics, which was put forward by a conservative, and you may disagree but both of these supporting parties are conservative.

Its funny how France is currently all about Free Speech after these attacks, while in the past they passed laws that outlawed wearing religious gear in public, like turbans, crosses and hijabs.

And they banned protests for Palestine, and they imprisoned a comedian for what he said in one of his routines. Freedom!

And american libertarians are statists. they are just too dumb to know it.

Wearing religious gear in public isn't forbidden. An enormous amount of people wear religious gear, and hijab are the most visible. Since 2010 you are not allowed to cover your face in public, thus hijabs are not forbidden since they don't cover the face. You can't wear a burqa, but you can't wear a balaclava either nor any kind of cloth that covers the face. Of course there is some exceptions (work, health, sports...) but a man who would walk the streets with a motorcycle helmet could be fined.

There is no problem with the law itself. But when the law was made, the police said that there was only 2000 women wearing a burqa in France. Making a law to fine a maximum of 150 euros to 2000 women was somewhat excessive. Some people felt that this law was a disguised attack against Muslims in general.

It's about precaution, not practicality. Any one of those 2,000 people could have a shady reason to hide their faces in public. Additionally, a non-Muslim or a man could wear a burqa as a disguise to carry out an attack. Besides that, there are other coverings banned by the law, it's just that burqas are the most common and the most controversial because they're required under religious custom. I don't think it's aimed at Muslims in particular. It does affect them the most, but that's merely circumstantial, in my view.

I would agree with you if the law was efficient, but it's not. Muslim women keep hiding their face in public. They pay the 150 euros and they start again. Moreover, you don't need a fine to check the identity of a woman wearing a burqa. Since there is only 2000 of them, or something like that, it would be a stupid idea to carry out an attack wearing a burqa. You would be suspected immediately.

The law was made by Communist André Gérin and right-wing Eric Raoult. André Gérin said that it was made against the "French Taliban".

It's funny how liberals will acknowledge and even support the regulation of speech to prevent the incitement of hatred or panic amongst the public in tandem with legally protected free speech, but then, for some reason, when that speech pertains to Muslims, forget this and pretend that free speech is a carte blanche.

The dissonance amuses me to this day.

Thats very convenient perception of freedom of speech that is flawed and one-sided.

Look, I'm no fanboy of radical islam or the liberal free speech bullshit and I'm certainly not a fan of antisemitism or fascists having a platform to raise their profile but if France is going to start claiming the mantle of being a champion of freedom of expression then they better start acting like that otherwise they're just using this opportunity to promote islamophobia in the name of "freedom" which is vile and hypocritical.

Speech like any other action should be judged within its context.

Just some points about the picture. (I'm not saying it isn't a violent religion also but still)

1. The Crusades were hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you don't still blame Germans now a days for the Nazi party. At least you shouldn't anyway.
2. Besides the rape bit. How often does this happen now a days?
2a.The IRA is essentially dead and is limited to people's tires getting let down. My Dad is from Belfast and was a catholic and his brothers were in the British Army whilst living there. He's still alive and married a Anglican.
2b. The KKK is no where as big as it was in the early 20th century.
2c. I honestly don't know about the abortion clinic stuff since we don't really ever hear about that over here but I assume it's not like once a week or something.

Plus the Christian Churches are more adaptable as time goes on I feel. The Koran is the direct word of god and is completely perfect. i.e Not open for debate (as far as I am aware). The Christian churches however all have leaders. The Church of England now allows female bishops because they have some democracy going on in there. The new Pope is pretty liberal as far as Popes go and is able to speak "directly to god" and therefore interpret the bible however he likes. Whereas there is no Muslim head of the religion. Everything comes from the Koran, imams won't come together and assemble to decide on female imams or homosexual rights.

The frequency of Islamic attacks in the modern day to me is thousands of times more regular than that of Christian ones, and when it comes to people like Breivik and Hitler, I may be wrong, but are they not more politically motivated with religious targets rather than coming from their own religious beliefs?

Similar with Rupert Murdoch, when he was talking about how Muslims should apologise and then all the Liberal White Folk came in and started saying "We're sorry for Rupert Murdoch because I'm a white male and I should be according to him", but that seemed to be mixing race with religion and grouping white people. I know you can't just group all Muslims but they're less diverse than all white people and they don't all belong to the same cult/religion.

Went on a tangent there but I think it loosely makes sense? Sorry if it doesn't. I'm not gonna proof read it.

A agree, the Quran is not peaceful, Islam is not peaceful, a large portion of the Muslims are peaceful and modern, but the religion is not.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't dispense with each hierarchy, but it does mean we need to address our concerns at home first, especially considering that many of us actually have enough food and water to think about changing the world in the first place.

You can't reform Islam like Christianity did because the Qur'ān is the immutable word of God. But a lot of Islamic practice, including most of the really oppressive parts, stems from tradition. And as something that started as an iconoclastic movement, Islam should be trying to do away with oppressive tradition. And perhaps we have been reading the Qur'ān incorrectly.
Dr. Shabbir Ahmed seems to think so, and his commentary/translation (The Quran As It Explains Itself) is a very good new reading.

The Pope cannot change what the Catholic Church thinks just like that. He is the figurehead and the leader, and has a lot of influence, but that doesn't mean that Catholics (officials) immediately change their morals to what the Pope thinks or does. We had very free-thinking Catholic church here under the previous pope, and it has been forcibly transformed into a rather conservative one while we already had the current pope.

Conflict over the meaning of the bible has lead to splits, wars, horrible crimes and a crazy amount of different churches, each with their own interpretation of the bible and each not giving a shit about the others.

The Quran is open for debate. In fact, debate over the message of the Quran was probably the favorite pasttime of Islamic scientists throughout history. And guess what, this had lead to a variety of different Islamic branches, each with different ideas and each thinking the others got it wrong. That sure doesn't resemble Christianity in any way, right?

It gives some very conflicting messages about unbelievers in the Surat At Tawbah (translated as The Repentance).
It says you need to give them 4 months before you fight them, then fight them without relent, except if they ask for protection, in which case you need to protect them and convert them. It then goes on to say that as long as they are "upright" to you, you should be "upright" back to them.
The "killing people who defame the religion" bit only applies after they break oaths that they will follow Allah, by the looks of it.

Then again, yet later it goes on to say "Fight those who do not believe in Allah...until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled"

On the whole it looks bad when taken completely literally. Given that I don't know Arabic, I'm curious to know how fight translates, ie, if it's more like strive against, which could mean debating/arguing, or if it literally means try to kill. No idea how different interpretations come into it either, as this was all from one source.

Can anyone on the forums help?

The other one had a picture of an orthodox Jew on it and the title was "Shoa Hebdo".

The second picture was removed from their website one day later because it was "antisemitic". So what they are actually saying is, that press freedom is okay when it makes fun of moslems but that there is none when it goes against Jews.

The Jew who ran this newspaper threatened to stop funding it. So that "anti-semitic" cartoon had to go.

That wasn't a caricature from Charlie Hebdo. That was a caricature from the French antisemitic far-right close to Dieudonné and his friends which copied the style of Charlie Hebdo to create this horrendous "Sharia Hebdo" picture:

(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medialibre.eu%2Fcms%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fyapb_cache%2Fcharlie_hebdo_shoah_hebdo1.agchbtbki00g00gk88s80skw.brydu4hw7fso0k00sowcc8ko4.th.jpeg&hash=46ef1f56cee79fcde02306c1e61acf0297f9ed94)

Charlie Hebdo would never have done something like that. The newspaper was far-left, not far-right.

I don't consider that those who disagree with me are necessary "enemies of freedom." Freedom, political freedom, is the common ground of a great variety of political opinions. But some ideas are not acceptable if they are harmful to society.

After WWII, since a lot of people suffered, and I personally know some survivors from the camps, it was an inalienable right for the European populations to live in a society in which nobody would dare to speak lightly of the crimes of Nazi Germany. And of course, especially for the Germans. That's why this limitation of freedom of speech was done accordingly to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. And therefore I agree with this part of the forum rules which is infringed quite often without any reaction from the moderators:

Quote
11. No posting of National Socialist imagery, symbols or right wing opinions or representation that may glorify or seek to represent elements of former Nazi Germany.
In many countries such symbols and imagery are banned particularly in Germany where FSE's host servers are based. At the end of the day this is a forum for the enjoyment of FSE products and not a platform for political discourse. FSE does not wish to contravene Germany's strict policies in regards to Strafgesetzbuch section 86a and thus requests that its users adhere to this policy as part of the terms of service agreement.

You have to keep in mind "no platform" refers to the message of hatred, bigotry, and violence that our typical fascist has to share.

We're not saying "I arbitrarily disagree, and thus it is justified to silence this person!" We're saying that giving a fascist space to recruit other fascists to their cause leads to them attacking people or otherwise acting on their stated desires to violently oppress people.

Think of your Spanish Civil War. No one offered to engage the fascists in debate, because fascists aren't interested in space to discuss their beliefs. They are interested in space to develop an air of legitimacy and look strong.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that nazis and fascists are more than theoretically bad? When you sign up to be one, you make the conscious decision to advocate for national socialism, you are advocating for the systemic dehumanization and murder of people, there's no way around that. This isn't like targeting someone who may be violent under the right circumstances. This is combating people for whom violence is a prerequisite for their very existence. The world is more complex than your banal hypotheticals ever are.

if a Nazi or Nazi group harms us or threatens to harm us (which they will always do), then we fight back, violently if necessary. But if all they want to do is walk around talking about their bullshit, then no, we do not physically harm them. I would say the same thing about any group. It's not about their ideology, it's about not legitimizing the use of force against political demonstrations based solely on how much you hate them.

They're not martyrs. They are victims. Just like Slavs, homosexuals, Romas and whatever people the nazi's decided to point their guns at. A martyr is someone who dies for a cause, not someone who is killed for one. And if anyone is ignoring to draw 'moral, philosophical, and political consequences' from them, it is you who says we must reserve the right to free speech to only opinions that are publicly accepted. You're the one that says that results (no fascists) excuse the means (no free speech), we're saying the opposite. If anything, you're using victims as an excuse to make new victims, which is despicable.

Your comparison between those 5 million victims who quite often died in a horrible manner and the "new victims" that we supposedly make when we refuse to the fascists the right to deny, minimize, or make fun of the Shoah, is shameful.

It's also strange that you advocate unlimited free speech even though you are a moderator, and moreover a moderator of a forum which forbids "posting of National Socialist imagery, symbols or right wing opinions or representation that may glorify or seek to represent elements of former Nazi Germany."

That's a restriction to freedom of speech nonetheless. In this situation you admit that private property can restrict freedom of speech.

Privatization of censorship isn't freedom of speech.

That would be a form of fascism.

How can you say that you are still free to say whatever you want if your boss fires you? This isn't logical. The Truth is that in any society, including "liberal" capitalist societies, freedom of speech is restricted. In your example freedom of speech is restricted by the right of the capitalist to do whatever he wants. Something like that could be possible in a banana republic, but in civilized societies freedom of speech is also guaranteed by the law inside your workplace.

Just because I am free to say what I want, doesn't mean others may not react upon it. What's next? People may not disagree with me? My boss may not fire me even if I walk around the office covered with swastikas, even if it's his company? You talk as if it's a general accepted truth that freedom of speech must be enforced in all corners of life, but it is not. It is your opinion, and not by any measure true in reality.

What a fantastic point to make. After all, hating Islamic extremism is exactly the same as hating moderate Muslims, right? Of course, all those who believe in Allah are to be classified as one homogenous group from now on.  Hate one, you hate all of them.

To be fair converts are usually the most extreme. Also this post is a bit rich coming from you.

Very simply put: you will get fired because your behaviour is not in line with your workplace's rules. The last thing your boss wants is a fuss about religion, since that will halt any labour done by his company/section/whayevs. Therefore, on the rules laid down by the company, you can get fired. ITt doesn't mean you have violated freedom of speech, as a boss.

ITt doesn't mean you have violated freedom of speech, as a boss.

A case I recently had taken a look at outlined how a British Airlines assistant had been forced to abandon her hijab while on duty, while another could not wear her cross when in contact with clients. Both sued the British Government (l0l) and B.A., and both lost. In this case, their freedom of religion (which may have even corresponded into freedom of speech, depending on what they said to or how they behaved to their coworkers and/or their passengers was deemed to be inferior to the workplace rules which strongly prohibited any wearing of religious garments.

This links in to  the freedom of religion thing - companies are curently granted the right under most legal systems to withhold some of their employees rights and sanction them if they violate their contract, so that the service (it's usually a service) they provide is done in the most appropriate manner. This, for BA, is apparently maintaining a religion-neutral workplace... just in case they end up offending anyone or making someone feel uncomfortable when confronted by this atrocious symbol of oppression.

Now, to what extent this actually has an impact on the employees or the clients or society as a whole is difficult to predict - you would have to look at specific examples to judge on a case-by-case basis. For the FSE fora, for example, I would say that the no-Nazi signs rule has had minimal impact, not least because we can continue actually discussing the subject without posting Nazitages or fascist memes, and because FSE's products tend to focus on a different subject altogether. For BA, similarly, I find that the scope of their service should focus less on social commentary or religious expression and more on streamlining the process of hauling people around the world with as little fuss as possible.

And so it boils down, essentially, to whether you value these two freedoms more than you do a rational contract (to which the individual should have consented prior to any of this) and the concept of simply not bringing such conflicts/ debates into certain platforms or workplaces. And that requires a value judgement, so I really can't speak for anyone else here.

You are either free or not free. When you are threatened because of your opinions, you are not free. That's an absolute truth. Thus you support the idea that freedom of speech can be limited by the sole will of  your boss when you are at work. The conclusion is that you recognize that there can be some limitations to freedom of speech.

What? Work is part of your life. People are not machines, they talk to their colleagues, to their boss, even to customers, that's also part of the job of many people. And you might indeed express your political views at work. Moreover, your views on work itself are also part of your political views.

The society that you describe there is clearly a fascist corporatist society. In a normal democratic society in which freedom is guaranteed, people could talk about religion if they want it and as long as the discussion remains courteous and doesn't conflict with the job itself. And moreover you can't just fire someone because he did something that wasn't "in line" with the rules, unless he seriously broke an important rule.

For example this right to freedom of speech at work is guaranteed by a law in Connecticut:
http://goselinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/free-speech-at-work/

In France, freedom of speech at work is guaranteed by the Code du travail.

You can't denounce your rights, that's not possible. If a contract wants you to denounce your rights, it has illegal clauses and thus you are not bound to the illegal clauses. Otherwise it's not a right. As I said some limitations to freedom of speech are of course possible. It's normal that you can't say whatever you want to, let's say, customers. And I never challenged this idea. You don't have an absolute right to say whatever you want. That's what I have been repeating since the beginning of this discussion.

On the very contrary, my point is that if you believe that a boss should have the right to limit freedom of speech in his company, then there is no reason to believe that a people shouldn't have the right to limit freedom of speech in its own country. In both cases, there ought to be both guarantees and limitations to freedom of speech. If there is only limitations, you are in a dictatorship. If there is only freedom, this is anarchy, in the negative sense of the term.

Thus I said that in a free country a boss can't do whatever he wants in his own company, including forbidding all kind of freedom of speech. A country like that would be either a banana republic or a fascist dictatorship, there isn't much difference anyway. I don't know what the rules are in your country, but at least in mine, and in the other example I gave (Connecticut), that wouldn't be legal. In France such clauses are called abusive clauses.

But people get upset because I said that you shouldn't be allowed to say whatever you want about the Shoah, probably because some of them have fascist sympathies. I'm not trying to be rude, that's only my opinion. But people like Sven prefer to answer with personal attacks and insults, but I don't really care. As for Nipplestockings, well, I'm used to it anyway.

I also might add that every single argument on fse at this point is inherently personal, because most of us have all been here long enough to have argued over every single political point possible (check the political threads 1, 2, 3, and all of the spinoffs and topic specific threads, all with over 100 pages and most of which were locked by mods after things got out of hand), and so these arguments are now engaged in to prove the other party is retarded, not to actually convince people of your point or ideology. That's why you see so many personal insults here. Sure, we all actually do have political opinions, and our positions in these arguments do generally reflect these opinions (on occasion), but the manner in which we engage in these debates is in no way civil. Of course, political debates are civil at times, but generally only as a means to an end. As soon as it suits us to abandon this civility to call another forum member a drooling troglodyte, *poof!* it's all down the toilet.

In that sense FSE is like a nursing home. We're all old, cranky, and entertain our own petty rivalries that mean absolutely nothing because most of us will never meet each other in real life. But it's our nursing home. And we'll be here right til the end, whenever that is. So either sit down and join the bingo, or gittttt out.

I also might add that every single argument on fse at this point is inherently personal, because most of us have all been here long enough to have argued over every single political point possible (check the political threads 1, 2, 3, and all of the spinoffs and topic specific threads, all with over 100 pages and most of which were locked by mods after things got out of hand), and so these arguments are now engaged in to prove the other party is retarded, not to actually convince people of your point or ideology. That's why you see so many personal insults here. Sure, we all actually do have political opinions, and our positions in these arguments do generally reflect these opinions (on occasion), but the manner in which we engage in these debates is in no way civil. Of course, political debates are civil at times, but generally only as a means to an end. As soon as it suits us to abandon this civility to call another forum member a drooling troglodyte, *poof!* it's all down the toilet.

bruh u haven't been around this forum long enough

lemme teach u the basics:

1. you will never win an argument, these people have nothing to lose and don't give a shit
2. moral high ground makes you look like a massive turd
3. the only thing you can get out of these arguments is to vent insults at people you dont know
4. your thoughts dont matter to anyone but yourself here
5.taking this forum and it's discussions seriously is about as useful as a sandbox in a desert
