Man you deleted the part about the leftist straw man lol!!

You lost me honest to God, and I am going to leave this here... I still stand by my original statement, acknowledging my choice of words isn’t perfect but the main idea is there. And thanks for watching the videos, and for the short discourse. It’s been fun, God Bless!

I deleted it because I didn't want to muddy my argument - I had a feeling you would focus on my critique of the video and avoid addressing my actual argument (which you did). I stand my critique of the video being a strawman, but ultimately I think it is irrelevant to the argument I was making.

Unfortunately, whenever I make this argument free speech "absolutists" are unable to answer or resort to circular arguments. If you do still standby your original statement, I hope you will consider the implications of such a statement which imply you are also willing to defend child pornographers from censorship.

Still really confused man...

The line I drew is based on the law regarding child pornography— the example you’ve chosen to make a point.

There is no point... because it’s illegal? While the other examples I gave aren’t illegal? It’s pretty simple, and you’re lengthy replies are stretching an illogical point :-/

Edit: You are claiming I’m an absolutist... I’m unaware of this term, because there’s no such thing— I live in a country where laws exist (see above)

Happy Sunday... hope it makes sense.
