flamy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 once your collective asses get kicked around and evicted a bit ... you will realize (may be not) ... its called learning lessons from history. huh? live in the moment brah :nice:
ravishingravi Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Your interpretation of Free speech is incorrect. FS doesnt mean you can say anything you want. In this case you have no idea what the families of those who perished in Concentration camps went thru. Just put yourself in the shoes of the family members and see how it feels. Just because Indians are utterly callous about such things ( we have completely forgotten equally worse disasters ) doesn't mean the rest of the world should follow the same route. When you do that you are unwittingly sending out the wrong message. I would say "accurate". I am going by any libertarian definition of it. And Free Speech to me is a libertarian concept. Chomsky as a jews defended a french writer's right to deny holocaust. It is precisely about right to say what is false and uncomfortable without which there can be no free speech unless you you caveats likes "acceptable" free speech based on your standards.

You don't even understand that how dangerous that kind of reasoning is specially in this internet age
ravishingravi Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Well at that rate .... I want to publish graphic pornography on NY Times front page ... I want to heap filthy abuse aimed at MMS and Mata Rome on the front page of TOI ... Get the point ? By all means do it, if possible. Within the realm of free speech, those who are offended also have a right to express their discontent and offence. Btw lets make it very clear, I am not saying it is "right". But everyone should have the "right".
ravishingravi Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 You don't even understand that how dangerous that kind of reasoning is specially in this internet age It was always a dangerous world. I am not reasoning for the validity of liars or deniers
EnterTheVoid Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Whoah! I never said they should "get over" the genocide of Jews. I was saying there is no point in getting so offended when someone makes a joke about Hitler/Nazis especially when the person was just playing around. What an absolutely pathetic excuse. You find the calculated murder of 6 million people something to joke about?
kubrickian Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 What an absolutely pathetic excuse. You find the calculated murder of 6 million people something to joke about? Joking about Hitler/Nazis is not the same as joking about Holocaust. Stop sounding like a broken record without having a clue what you're talking about.
Mariyam Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I was looking at Kirsten Dunst. What did that guy say? It was in German. Didn't follow much of it, but something to the tune of: "Mine fuhrere adolf hitler ist daz besten man in unvierzum. Deutschland kapturung alles europa alles welt. Deutschland ist no.1. Durkh nazi menschenverdierunglachtbirduebercoolboaster ikh?" On a serious, that guys 'joke' was totally out of place.
EnterTheVoid Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Joking about Hitler/Nazis is not the same as joking about Holocaust. Stop sounding like a broken record without having a clue what you're talking about. Absolutely. Go back to masturbating over Hitler.
