It's about words and about homossexuality
So, this very productive conversation started with a video by gimmeabreakman.
And just recently FantasticBabblings has added a lot to the discussion with this video.
So I'll take this opportunity to bring my own 2 cents to the discussion. First off, I want to clearly assert that I am totally in favor of gay rights, just in case some passerby who doesn't know me long enough misunderstand me.
I wanna bring Frank Zappa into the conversation, and the two points I want to bring to this particular conversation are: (1) this is about words, and (2) America is moving towards a fascist theocracy.
This guy is just so awesome beyond description.
I stand with davisfleetwood on this one, when he says most of us in the left defend freedom of speech for me but not for thee. I don't think criticism is censorship. I think words like "nigga", "faggot" and so many others should be thought of as just that, words.
South Park is great at doing this and showing the absurdity.

Nice collection of vids. I think Phil/FantasticBabblings made the best argument though.
