@cnnbrk Wow, I didn't believe that he was a socialist, but it's starting to look that way.

“
@cnnbrk: Pope: There are limits on freedom of expression when it comes to insulting faiths. http://cnn.it/1DI1V1w ” who defines insult? -
@MoBetterDRews
@cnnbrk An insult is apparently anything somebody says that you disagree with. Pope allows you to punch them for that. -
@FFFlewey well in that case i disagree lol. Critique is cool / insults are unnecessary. Problem is figuring out where the line is -
@MoBetterDRews I agree that insults are unnecessary, but freedom of speech means you let people speak even if offensive. Not free otherwise.
-
@FFFlewey 1st amendment shouldnt be used to justify uncivil behavior outside those contexts. IMO. -
@MoBetterDRews I guess ridiculing elected leaders should be illegal too since it might be upsetting or offensive to them?
-
@FFFlewey look up the def of TE word "ridiculing" and tell me why ridiculing is necessary to agree? It isn't. I'm all for civility. -
@MoBetterDRews Civility also means you can disagree with people, challenge ideas, point out hypocrisy, etc. without fear of imprisonment.

@keithinabox@cnnbrk That said, freedom of expression & hate speech comes with consequences. I think that's where the Pope was coming from. -
-
@keithinabox@cnnbrk In this context, I'd say Charlie Hebdo engaged in hate speech (mocking) under the guise of freedom of expression. -
@Keethers@keithinabox@cnnbrk hate speech is a legal term of art and you are using it incorrectly -
@BabsyDC@keithinabox@cnnbrk I'll use it how I please. We're not in the court of law. -
