  • As a Jew, I am now slightly offended by hate speech laws. They suggest that we can't handle discrimination. Well, we've been dealing with discrimination for 2000 years, and if we need to do it for a few more to preserve freedom of speech, we can do that too.

  • I wish I had heard of Christopher Hitchens before he died.

  • @IcyIconoclast I don't understand why it is special that they were ''able to look them up'', if there weren't any indecent words. What is ''them'' referring to?

  • @MrEstarmes

    the point is that dr. johnson learned from the ladies that they were LOOKING for the words that would offend them. it shows that those who are sensitive to "offense" of whatever kind seem to enjoy being offended and trying to silence others. in other words, they can't and should not be appeased.

  • I am pretty scared now.

  • @avielMenter hhahahaha you are a jew hopefully you get hit by a car LOL!

  • Well, when the ladies say, that they weren't able to look those words up, they commit, that they know (or even use) these words

  • “Dr Johnson”, they said, “We are delighted to find that you’ve not included any indecent or obscene words in your dictionary.”

    “Ladies”, said Dr Johnson, “I congratulate you on being able to look them up.”

    I don't seem to get it, can anyone explain?

  • If I would have to chose a contemporary person of public impact as hero-it would probably be Christopher Hitchens- great man- sadly missed

  • @unlyckystrike I think I was, yeah.

  • what verse is he talking about?

  • @avielMenter Damn good attitude.
