Aww, yeah! It's also better than taking off one's hand. Or public decapitation.

blablaurgh, you have to understand that in different areas of the world, people think differently, and it is our duty as citizens of the planet to respect and tolerate that.

Zancaldwell - Having a different opinion is not the same as disrespect.
It is open dialog and exchange of ideas that lets mankind evolve and grow as a global civilization.

If one day you were to have dinner in my house, and you would tell me your opinions and I would tell you mine, at the end of the night we would know each other better, and we would know how each one of us thinks and sees the world.
But instead of that, if I told you "No, this is my house, here don't talk about issues that I don't agree with." what do you think would happen?
Not only would we not know each others thoughts, but you would be upset and offended because you were stopped from expressing yourself.
That is why so many people fight against censorship, my friend...
