Which is, by the way, a completely different argument than you put forth before, you said I did not ask any questions.Nevermind though. You distracted the argument, avoided my points at all cost and certainly didn't answer my questions.
no no no no. Heres the problem. This post.

No, it's not a no brainer. You make it out to be one. I value the freedom of millions of people over the emotions of one person, that a) shouldn't be offended and b) wouldn't likely know anyways.And there shouldn't be a law against being an *******. They might be assholes, but they should be allowed to do it.
And what I said about skin colour wasn't referring to anything you said, it was just showing how you took it on yourself to decide what's allowed and what isn't. Like, where you single handedly decided for all of us that dressing as victims of a random shooting shouldn't be allowed and that it is "common sense".
That's the point, it should be allowed, though I see no reason why they should do it.
Your saying that I was refering this above post and your saying that it raises questions. Heres the point im making.
1. Theres no indication for me to respond to that even if rasises any question, hell if your going to use that as argument anybody can say anything and say that you didnt respond to my arguments.
2. Even if it raises any arguments what the bloody point in answering them when I have already done that?

Cause that's assault. People do not have the right not to be offended. If you start with that why not be offended by what a person is wearing? Or if they have socialist ideas, why not ban those, they are offensive to me? Or someone saying Beckham is the best footballer ever, that's offensive, why not ban that?
The arguments raised in this above post are the same arguments that are raised in the post below.
Originally posted by Bardock42Not if I use it in connection with "arguments", in that case it means you didn't reply to the questions my arguments brought up, such as "Why should he freedom of the person be limited?", "Why should people be outraged and insulted?", "Why should there be a law against being an *******?", "Did you understand what my comments about skin color meant", "Why do you think it is ok for you decide what is allowed and what isn't?" ... probably a few more I didn't think of. But, alas, instead of participating in the debate like a mature human you dodged and dragged it to a personal level, so, could we now go back to the real arguments after you tried to expose me as hypocrite, dodge all my arguments, lie about what I said and just all in all behaved like a major *******? (see, a question)
Why should freedom of the person be limited? That is a question in both posts. I answered that, if your are causing people harm then its wrong emotional harm is important to.
Why should there be a law about being a ****? That is a question refered to in both posts. My answer because making fun of murder can cause emotional harm.
Why should people be outraged and insulted? They have a right to be outraged if somebody close to them died.
Why do you think I should decide? What has that got to do with anything most people dont find somebody dying close to them funny, which is why I said it was a no-brainer.

...and you think the family of myra hindley are going to hear about you saying that? If you put that on national TV thats different.

Dude, I wasn't talking about you. You stated that I wasn't referring to you and I didn't respond, implying that you were correct.
I never said you were I just thought the quote applied to Bardock.

I would love it if my children or grand children made light of the way I died....life sucks and some of the ways that we end this life sucks even worse...I love to make light of things that are really depressing and sad. I expect my children/grandchildren to make fun of the way I die...I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a "different" type of sense of humor. I would think it a great honor if my children/grandchildren dressed up like me for Halloween in a humorous way. (Running around with a colostomy bag, diaper, iv drip, etc.)My funeral will not be a regular funeral...it will be a massive party. I am already preparing for my funeral. What I am doing now is putting together a list of my top 25 favorite songs. This list changes every now and then. I expect this music to be distributed at the funeral party so everyone can know what I liked...I hope that one day some of my music can make that list. At the party, there will be video games, food, dancing, etc.
Oh right.

Having the freedom to dress up as a Virginia Tech victim makes me happy...so, I guess you are lying.
You have to remenber that same freedom you speak of gives other people the right to dress up in white sheets and scream out "White Power". That makes them happy.
Freedom should have the same message as drinking and driving....Be responsible.
So....Alf is right in a sense...be responsible.
yea...
Originally posted by WrathfulDwarfI disagree. I believe people should be allowed to dress up in white robes and scream white power.

With the right to freedom, should come the reponsibility not to use that right to upset others.
