Agree, well said.

...except:

BoganGod wrote: I should be allowed to vent/preach/share my distrust of hetrosexuals, dismissing them as breeders, conformist sheep and needy simpletons. .

Except, these are clearly antagonistic labels and therefore not truly discussing the topic.

So while your stated opinion is apropos, you then proceeded to essentially violate it.

His labels have negative connotations but they are still expressing an actual set of views that can be debated.

It's your mom's saggy tits and her equally saggy pussy lips.
Why they want to censor it is self explanatory.

true, now BBS are you insinuating that racists are the shit?

It depends on the racist. If the racist is god-like, then he's a godlike shit who will most likely be rolling around on dog turds in the local dog park.
