    If someone accuses you of being a homophobe or if somebody accuses you of being a sexist or if somebody accuses you of being a terrorist......... How do you prove you are not?

    You are right, it does border on facism. In the UK they are apparently going to trial run misogyny as a hate crime. Now of course, everyone should be treated with respect and we should try to understand the feelings of others, but there can come a point where you are simply unable to say anything to anyone anymore. It should be okay to have a laugh about something and by the same token it should be okay to debate something. That's why it bothers me when people like Rocco argue 'Misogynists, homophobes and haters' as it is too easy to do that and letting that kind of labelling win means freedom of speech loses. I want freedom for all.

    I respect freedom of speech no matter what. If that means I cannot be the forum gay, then I have to accept that in the end. If Denilson wants to speak race, race race, then that's a discussion that should exist. If Lyle thinks dropping nukes on people is justified, then likewise, I want to see the discussion.

    Instead of just calling people names that put them into tidy boxes for our own self satisfaction, let's just let everything swing and discuss it. It is how we grow. We add our inputs gathered from our own reading and our own lives and they mix with those of others and maybe nothing ever gets resolved, but we know a bit more and learn to understand others a bit better.

    To just close everything off with labels is reductive and is no different to totalitarianism or life in the Taliban.
