Seconded....we live in a crazy world where God wants your foreskin or part of your clitoris before he'll let you play in his funtime mansion.

Or even worse it's for aesthetic reasons......Or to make the female's experience of sex so dismal that she isn't interested in it.

It's horrible, horrible.

I think you'd struggle to find anyone who finds this acceptable.
Had a fair bit of training during staff meetings and inset days. My other half has a case where there is a worry that a girl is vulnerable. Social services, for whatever reason, are rubbish apparently.

Can you imagine what would be out there if we allowed anything goes speech in the media?

Your first point is a valid point for me....they would and do get a lot of sh1t.

But it is all BS...I just wish both main parties...all parties got together and looked at free speech again and stopped the rot.

The laws we have are sufficient in terms of lies and libel. If they were actually used by a press complaints board I'm sure we could find a reasonable medium.

I'm just fed up with all the witch hunting.....'You said this and I'm offended....hence you're banned'...or you lose your job....so on and so forth.

Why not debate ideas.

Comparing homosexuals to paedophiles isn't really a question of free speech though, nor is it about starting a reasonable debate, its about shutting down debate.

Politicians in a democracy are supposed to represent their constituent, one and all, to air their own prejudices and demonise law abiding citizens.

Well male circumcision isn't only acceptable but around two percent of all boys in Britain are circumcised each year.

Imagine the outcry if these were girls.

Because, as seen on here, we would end up with a lot more 'hate' speech.

Over time we've seen change in what is and isn't acceptable, socially and culturally, to say or do.
Where do you draw the line at which people are or aren't offended. What about instances of inciting racial hatred? Should we allow hate preachers a voice to spread their anti western Wahhabi doctrine?

I see where you are coming from, but it would lead to a darker place imo.

Why isn't it about free speech? These are sexualities. People get hysterical about stuff....He should have been told he was wrong and being a dick-head and move on.

I don't believe in restricting freedom of non violent speech. I think it's a dangerous road to travel down....Who defines acceptability. I've already seen and experienced ridiculous applications. People push interpretations...because that's what idealists do.

If someone has an internet connection the preacher point is a bit moot.
I most definitely want to know who is saying what and who is attending their lectures. I wouldn't let anyone into the country who I thought was a security risk....But not because of what they might say..

I'd imagine that if someone was calling you a pedophile you'd be pretty livid. Me, I'd probably deck someone if they were seriously inferring I was a child sex offender.

Using free speech as a means of defending the indefensible - Denigrating 10% of the population without basis, or argument, should be a sackable offence in politics.

Its no different than that c**t who said 'all white people are racists' its dumb c**t rhetoric aimed at gain the support of dumb c**ts.

Trust the left to blur the edges with waffle.

FGM is not acceptable and anyone continuing this practice should be imprisoned or deported. I'm surprised circumcision of boys is still allowed other than for medical reasons.
Pandering to mentals is not tolerance, it is letting standards slip and beginning a race to the bottom of civilised behaviour to accommodate the breathing of life into the failing birth rate and maybe securing a vote or two along the way.

Your imagining things stinky. The left blurring the edges? Example please and then an explanation as to how that can be attributed to all of the left, such was your insinuation.

No it's not. You've said the left are blurring the edges on the fgm issue. How so?
If you're going to assert something, you need to be able to back it up else it comes across as a load of cobblers. It's not deflection, it's counter argument.
