Free speech does not mean other people are obligated to give you a platform for your ideas.

It also doesn't mean erratic hateful behaviour against groups of people should be encouraged. Like, you know, what this thread is about.
Edit: yup, that XKCD comic is always on point, Thirith.

Sad thing is, Im not sure if you do or dont understand that Renz is mocking me for witnessing geoengineering, as that occured before your recent return, unless you were lurking all along and are now getting your jab in too.

Quite. But doing so is a step towards actually expanding your mind.

"If you do not learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it"
That's my take on the statue take down.
The world was (and still is in many places) a terrible place. People did horrible things. But if we whitewash them from history then we've learned nothing.

OK, so you were there.
That doesnt mean you hafta take a jab at poor GMD tho, I mean, have I *ever* done anything hateful to anybody?
Um, no... but I sure have taken a *lot* of abuse! Again, all is gravy, in tha navy, peace then for now, crackers. But please, do enjoy the video of my friend I linked for you guys, here in bubble-land, you know, just to give you a glimpse of what us *real* 99%ers are like. :D

Besides, I don't consider listening to bigoted comments about how white supremacy is awesome and how gay people are icky as expanding one's mind. Rather the opposite, in fact.

So, should there be statues for the British generals of the Revolutionary War, lest people forget? Also, what would you learn from it (other than the year of birth, year of death, and how the guy looked on a horse)?

Everyone looks good on horse. So that's a no-brainer.
