I don't know. Isn't it illegal to write a how to for making a bomb? Rebekah Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 02:51:34 PM
It's not the kind of thing where you can say "It's ok to do this therefore it's ok to do that".

Each of these things should be taken separately.

And those things you've cited are fiction.


Free speech is indeed protected, but there are limits on it - incitement to racial hatred, yelling "Fire" in a crowded place when there isn't one, etc - so I don't see a real problem with including a how to for paedophilia in the illegal grouping.

Free speech. An easy way for me to tell is replace the topic with the word "murder" - 21/12/2010 02:33:17 PM 555 Views
