A "government that tyakes away too much power". But you take no responsability in taking that power yourself.
You loose.
Not what this is addressing. The "provisions" are there from teh beginning.
"good enough" is not "good enough"
Not really. Especially considering that you have NOT addressed it as such
Let's not totally ignore the reality of the situation in favor of addressing the "argument". The argument doesn't address the reality at all. First amendment is one thing. The reality is another. Hence the reason that no one is willing to address the "first" amendment at all, in relation to this contention.
Critical thinking is one thing, but "critical thinking" is a whole different beast when considering this legislation.

That's not my argument. Nor is it the point of the legislation. No one here is talking about the legislation. Everyone is talking about "talking points". Don't argue based on that inncorrect asumption.

C'mon SS. You were reading an incredibly biased Op-Ed piece, not news. Expressing an opinion that homosexuality is wrong has never been considered a hate crime. Writing a law that prevents hate crimes would not criminalize something that wasn't a hate crime before. It is to prevent hate crimes for which laws are already on the books.
Again, expressing an opinion is not against the law. Especially an opinion that is religiously based, because most liberals understand, unlike conservatives, that forcing values onto another group is a bad thing.
Bring us a reputable news source saying that this new law would criminalize any and all speech against homosexuals and maybe you'd only be standing on shaky ground.
Scientists don't sit around and say "I wonder how we can best undermine Christianity today." They do what they do because they want to understand how things work. It's used to understand where we come from. Attacking Christianity is hardly a goal.

there are many Christians who study and research the theory of evolution.
they see the wonder and mystery of it as being far superior to the "God done it" response given by pro-creation advocates. To them, something as complex, yet incredibly simple, as evolution shows the glory of God.
Well, in my country it is a crime to spread Nazi ideology, and I agree with it.
Freedom of speech doesn`t mean that you are irresponsible for your words. And no right quaranteed by constitution is unlimited, because it can clash with other rights and public safety. Though I am not American and not an expert on USA Constitution.

Nazi ideals include preaching violence and asking people to hurt certain population groups. There is a huge difference between that and saying you think that all blacks suck and white people are great.
