But where does it stop? Now we can't watch viral videos because it has digusting and objectionable content to some people. Watching some guy get beheaded over in a 3rd world country or splattered by a car is completely disgusting to see, and even some of the video comments are mocking the death of some poor person who didn't make it across the street, but should that mean its not allowed to be seen or commented on?
Should the sites that allow these comments and videos be shut down because, say, someone like my Mom couldnt bear to watch it? Should i prohibit videos of people jumping off of buildings because i had a loved one die the same way?
This is about freedom of speech, even if its offensive, rude or different. Does that person getting their head cut off make me more inclined to raise my children to want to behead others? Or for myself to want to behead someone? Not necessarily. Or else the Saw Movie Franchise would have been responsible for a lot of murders copying the mantra that its ok to murder people with flaws.
People who are evil are going to do evil no matter what anyone has to say about it. People seem to forget that. Does it mean we put up with everything? No. But it also doesnt mean that you hold everyone accountable for feeling the exact same way about it that you do.
And i'll admit i didnt read all the pages in this thread. But i've seen enough of the argument that "So you think hating gay people is a good thing" that i get the jist of some of the attitude from both sides.
