    A strawman? I'm trying to understand his means of determining what censorship is justifiable. Lots of institutions don't want to be associated with war. Lots of people don't want to be associated with aiding and abetting pointless wars. Why is the desire to not be associated with a pedophile and...

    "Science is the record of dead religions" - Oscar Wilde

    Depends. How much of your computer exists solely because of things having nothing to do with science?

    Angola bans Islam?

    I got the impression from there being 13 countries on the planet, all of which are Muslim majority countries: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/05/28/which-countries-still-outlaw-apostasy-and-blasphemy/ Admittedly out of date a bit.

    Islamic State group targets gays with brutal public killings

    I guess that's fine by me because I was not aware that being human automatically merited respect anyways.

    Islamic State group targets gays with brutal public killings

    Just throwing it out there, but people in ISIS are, in fact, people, despite the fact we wish not to associate with to the extent we think they belong to a different species.

    Fox News should be banned!

    But if we ban Fox News, how am I suppose to be able to tell which one of my uncles is out of their mind?

    Epicurus' riddle

    Sorry for the late response. I'll try to explain better. You said: "He may have an infinite number of choices for achieving whatever it is He's trying to achieve, but choose Tay-Sachs disease --- or suffering in general --- for His own reasons, reasons we couldn't possibly fathom." If God has...

    2014 Health Costs Grew At Fastest Rate Since Obamacare Introduced

    Great. I look forward to voting for your plan to make sure that I can never get health insurance again so that your premiums are cheaper.

    But he isn't. His planned speech is on how if we do real good in life and try real hard, we can all make a ton of money and getting the degree was totally worth it. Per the Mills conception here, I can't justifiably contend this, be it vote against his giving of the speech or speak out against...

    Sure. If a given situation where Jared from Subway was set to give my commencement speech, and two weeks later it was revealed he had be aiding child molesters, his speech would not be an immediate danger or threat of danger to anyone at a given graduation. Am I to understand you correctly that...

    So, as a student of a publicly funded school, when I graduate next year, were my school to have Assad, Abbas, Cosby, Putin, or Jared from Subway. What if Jared was going scheduled to do my commencement speech, only to find out two weeks later the whole kerfuffle. Any objection on my part, and I...

    I really don't know enough about the writer to make too much judgment about it. It read to me as contradictory and nonsensical, in it's totality, that is.

    Peak mollycoddling

    ...Right, so if I own a school, invite someone to speak at my event, two weeks later, it's revealed they are a child molester, so I cancelled the speech. Is this censorship?
