Sehr gut! But the problem is.. these opponents of fascism are by any reasonable definition fascists themselves.
One can say certain words and there will be consequences depending on who is effected by them. But that shouldn't mean they're prevented from saying things at public venues. Many of Lauren Southerns critics [from the left] are just as ignorant and ...
Mickysavage, the human rights act is toothless and confused in its wording. It should be rewritten completely .If you ask the HRC to define what they mean by the word 'race' for example, they will lecture you on how there is no race in human taxonomy, its ...
Would the Mayor prevent prominent liberal atheist and neuroscientist Sam Harris speaking at public venues when/if he comes to Auckland soon? Not likely...yet Sam has expressed similar, if not identical views to the current pair of so called 'miscreants' on...
