Should incitement to murder be covered by freedom of speech? The late contrarian Christopher Hitchens remarked that all speech, including incitement to murder, should be protected by freedom of expression. To what extent do you agree with this? Personally, it makes me feel slightly uneasy. I'd...

Classic. Haha. :lol: Ah, so I guess pretty much all the stuff the antiporn groups put out is just wild speculation. I thought as much. I don't really see porn making kids gay or causing them to go on murder sprees.

Hitchens on form (despite spelling desiccate incorrectly). :lol: http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2011/04/21/christopher-hitchens-middleton-would-do-well-to-escape-the-royal-family-sideshow/

I'm not religious and I got 29 out of 32. Didn't know the prerequisites for salvation nor who Jonathan Edwards was, and I thought the question on suffering was referring to Abraham having to murder his son. I happy with this result! 91% is not bad at all! :D

The topic has recently resurged on the BBC with some groups proposing measures to force ISPs to ban all pornographic content. I have tried running a Google search to find out whether any studies have been done on the effects of pornography on children, but I'm met with an unrelenting torrent...

Hahaha! :lol: Let the poor vulture go! It's not his fault that the Israelis tagged him! If it was really going to spy, surely it wouldn't have the words "Tel Aviv University" plastered all over it? :lol: This has really made my morning. xD

If you're in the UK, you will have no doubt heard of Ed Vaizey, member of parliament for Wantage & Didcot, who proposed the abolition of net neutrality. Now he wants ISPs to block all pornography from their customers unless the customers express a desire for the block to be removed. This is...

Well, they hid the murder of civilians in Iraq and lied about it to the general public.

The problem is that documents are being classified in order to hide illegal activities. If the American government could be trusted not to do this then there wouldn't be a problem.

You'll never find out unless someone leaks secret files. They're clearly not going to publish it themselves for everyone to see.

As far as I'm aware the US doesn't appear to have denied the validity of any of the documents. They have also arrested Bradly Manning. Presumably there has been a leak, or there wouldn't be anyone to arrest?

Surely the government should be held accountable if they're trying to protect murderers? It may cause unrest, but it would certainly be justified.

Wikileaks have shown the American government to have been lying about the murder of civilians, in one case the government claimed they were killing combatants, but video evidence showed that they were shooting at unarmed civilians. Is this not something the public should know?

So what do you think about the whistleblowing site Wikileaks? Does free speech extend this far? Does the general public have a right to know the information that is being leaked or should it stay confidential? Is it right that Julian Assange be put on trial for espionage? :?:

The majority of people aren't going to be able to get tested, so how will they know whether they're preventing the conception of a child or preventing the spread of HIV? Also, Africa is not mainly comprised of gay prostitutes! :roll:
