I believe that human life begins at conception. Should we say that those who teach that human life begins only later than that or that it's okay to abort a fetus at will are promoting murder and so we should ban such speech?

Also, in India, some women will abort female fetuses only. I know of a case in the US I believe of a woman aborting a male fetus because it was a male fetus. Should we allow proponents of sex-selective abortions to promote such sexist ideas?

How far do we go with the censoring of undesirable speech?

After reading through this entire topic I've come to the conclusion that not only do you not know what you are writing about, you don't care what you are writing about and you only do it to provoke people. You are, I fear, a very shallow little man. Pity, that.

I believe that human life begins at conception as well.

Does being sexist in this case lead to significant harm to others?

Insofar as it is reasonable - which changes over time and is an ongoing discussion that everyone should participate in.

Assuming your place in life?

Do you think refugees trying to escape ISIS want you to loosen immigration allowing those they are trying to get away from into Canada right along with them?

Did they ask you to speak for them?

Are those offended by swastikas unable to speak for themselves? Do they want people getting violent on their behalf?

Why do they need you?

Who made you judge and jury?

Mental floss has a very shallow sense of human rights and freedoms.

One principle that he fails to understand is summed up well in article 30 of the universal declaration of human rights and freedoms

Article 30.
*

Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.

IMO, you don't solve discrimination by taking away the right to free speech or the right to assemble

I'm not a human rights advocate.
