No, but it seems to be their general approach to the matter. Seeing the Cartoon Wars Episode and others.

Fair enough.

I clarified, I suppose we can leave it at that indeed.

Yeah and you were trying to wiggle out of it. Nevermind

Okay, but they are still different.

Yeah but this the thing eventhough they are different they will still be classified in the same group. Its like this if I say the journey of a 1000 miles starts with the first step and im doing it to encourage you to building a house and you say....thats stupid im building a house not walking....well you get my point...walking and building a hiuse are different but they are similar enough to be grouped together. Even identical twins have some differences.

No, it is important, it's just that they are not exposed to it. They can ignore it. No one forces them to ever watch the Episode.

"Yeah so what? I slap you get a red face and you walk off."

Where is my possibility not to be slapped in the face.

Well ok but sometimes stuff can be hard to ignore for example if you put stuff in the papers and its all other the news, if your living in modern society in fcat you would not be able to ignore certain things.

And where do you draw the line. What falls under freedom of speech/press...what doesn't?

Yes, as I said I do not agree that they are similar enough to group them together for reasons I stated before.

Yes but I also stated that sometimes things in the press can be hard to ignore if you are living in modern society.

Well what if I stand outside your house and make fun of you?

Maybe, but it is their right to say what they want. And I wouldn't say it is impossible to ignore it.

Well, that depends on how you act. I would say if you are staying of my property and keep your distance...then go ahead.

Now answer my question for a change:

And where do you draw the line. What falls under freedom of speech/press...what doesn't?

What are people allowed to be offended by what not?

True but it can be very hard. for example I think the stuff they do with the Royal family is wrong. The only way to avoid that **** is to live in the jungle and they would still be followed. It could be argued that if some stuff in the press makes you shut yourself from socitey it is affecting your freedom.

Yeah but ok not if it causes emotiona distress. Could something like that could be hard to ignore.

Ok this is what I think. I think in the grand scheme of things. South Park should have the right to amke fun of Steve Irwins death. You know why, because if you ban things like that you will get relgious nuts trying to say "Hey you insulted my religon." In an ideal world it should not be allowed.

I think it should not be allowed if your intentionally trying to make somebody life miserable and it is casuing the person alot of distress. I guess a perfect world would be boring. hope that answers your question im getting a little tired now.

Okay, well I disagree in the idealized world thing, but apparently we agre on the specifics in the world we live in.

I guess its ok if you can ignore it but what do you think if its all over the media. I have feeling you dont want to have this conversation.

Basically.

Well, it depends, if it is facts then it shouldn't matter, if it is more of a slander, that should possibly be outlawed.

Yeah, it is deeply tedious to me.

Honestly, I see nothing racist about the article, at all.
