Freedoms always have to be tempered with not infringing on the freedoms of others.
I could argue that I was born with the free-will and capacity to make my living by killing others and taking their food. It is only natural, but I don't think society would allow me my basic freedom. Poor me.

You're an idiot with stupid opinions.

...have you noticed that certain (well-loved) regular /linkers have stopped posting? About the same time this FUCKING IDIOT started clogging up the board?
Sadly, the two facts are related.

I would post whatever my opinion of you is. I've just been working hard, what with being on the game and working 9-5 and all...

Therefore I shall be putting you on ignore for the sake of my mental health.
Please try not to start any interesting threads that people I like to talk with may be involved in.

but what have I done? I haven't swore, I haven't called people names, I'm not aware of even saying anything especially controversial. Seriously, I don't get it.

Plus you get the board's sympathy, what with the whole unfortunate size of your penis. As previously discovered.

but really?? Someone else has different opinions to you and abuse is the path you choose?

she's clogging up the board with (to quote from others) nonsensical, contradictory, deliberately argumentative, sub-sixth form bollocks. She's not nearly as intelligent as she imagines herself to be, and people who actually have interesting & coherent opinions are avoiding /links 'cos they're sick of her shit.
...it's not "different opinions"- Coxxy & I disagree on virtually everything, but it's always a pleasure to read his posts, however MASSIVELY I may disagree.

Needlessly provoking arguments based on logic worthy of a 6th form sociology student, is another.

that so many people here think that walking around outdoors with no clothes on shouldn't be tolerated, and if you can point me at whichever post explains why I'll be very grateful. All I've taken from this whole argument is that social nonconformity simply won't do.

A law drawn up by an elected body that represents a majority of the population.
Why is it so hard to understand that an apparent majority of people have a different opinion than yours?
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 19:24, Reply)

I just never expected this degree of authoritarianism from here, of all places.
I don't know how big a majority of people think that nudity is so bad it has to be illegal, but why is it so hard for you to understand that I think it shouldn't be until somebody tells me the reason why.
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 19:30, Reply)

Are you really so deluded that you feel no law should be valid until *you* agree with it?
Maybe mrandrist has point.
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 19:33, Reply)

no. Maybe I'm deluded enough to think that dissent was socially acceptable in this country. I don't have to agree with the law just because the majority do, do I?
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 19:39, Reply)

There's a whole bunch of laws I disagree with but follow because they are the law, but I'd be deeply worried if disagreeing with them became against the law, or seeking to persuade others to disagree.

It's illegal in certain places. Like smoking.
Where would you personally draw the line? Is public sex acceptable? What about having an accidental boner?
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 19:42, Reply)

I'm glad you're here.
It's illegal in public places, I should have specified. Is public sex acceptable? Well I'll have to go and think about that, because it's not obvious why it isn't.

We can't stand YOU. I am totally okay with public nudity, lived with a naturist, happy to wander around in the nip: PEOPLE CAN'T STAND YOU. PLEASE FUCK OFF. AND THEN, FUCK OFF SOME MORE.

The comparison is with the attitude that someone's right to do as they please has to fit in with the demands of society. This applies to both.

hygiene issues in restaurants would be the main issue I imagine, would you sit in the same chair as a massively fat naked woman had just vacated?
Especially if she had just been on a really long walk across the countryside in hot weather
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 17:33, Reply)

and is it worth making it illegal? Plenty of places have dress codes without having to get the police involved. For a restaurant to have a "no naked" policy is one thing, for someone to actually get arrested for being naked outdoors, minding their own business, isn't that a bit much?
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 17:36, Reply)

he's never "minding his own business"
if he were, other people wouldn't be getting him arrested.
Anyway, I'm cooking dinner now, byee!

but agreement based on dispassionate discussion, not on ancient prejudices. The onus should be on lawmakers to give some reason why the thing being legislated against should not happen.

soldiers are allowed to kill people. as are executioners in nation states that have the death penalty. and swiss doctors.
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 17:37, Reply)

soldiers can kill people, as can armed police.
perhaps you mean murder?
( , Fri 20 Jul 2012, 18:11, Reply)

I feel you are splitting hairs here. I can also kill in self-defence if I get the angle just right. But you know, generally, I can't just go out and kill someone cos I feel like it.
