This is why I actually believe in true freedom of speech. If we go around censoring everything we find offensive, sooner or later someone will find something we say offensive when we do not see it that way.

And then we get censored. Stupid cycles...
Again, the difference between your sig, and my words are mine is a blunt statement of how things ARE in that worldview.

Yours were commenting on a perceived effect on humans minds.

To compare the two is crazy.
