I would be very intruiged to hear any comments on this current issue?

Those who wish not to discuss, desire not to understand, those who desire not to understand, wish to suppress those who do, those who attempt to suppress the truth do not understand that truth can not be suppressed.

This is a catch 22 of fears hold on any*one who accepts it as truth.

Any*one is able to live and die as they choose, it is the relationships they establish which determine the truth of the freedom they express.

To discuss or enable freedoms without first establishing the relationships in which they are enacted is refusing to understand ones fear of the freedom of others, without the understanding of relationship to discuss the value of freedom for all, one is left with only fear to understand and discuss.

Understand the relationship and you will enable the discussion.

I am just publishing a comment on the prominent issue of freedom of speech, which is probably boring everyone to death, but i thought i should highlight my views, and am curious to know others viewpoints on such things. I am extrememly interested in religion, and hold strong views, and i fear that society is going down a path leading to the ultra sensitivity which will subsequently mean we will not be allowed to express ourselves. For example, i feel that blind faith is a lethal weapon, and i think my viewpoint is as valid as that of a thiest. I just want to say that, freedom of speech works both ways, if God is allowed to say that infidels will have their day of judgement etc., we should be allowed to say that we feel religion is fiction for example. I believe in liberty for everyone, and the key to any progress in the world is understanding, how are we supposed to understand if we cannot discuss?
