Ideal opportunity to clear up this understanding no?

I would, but it's one of those circle arguments.

But since you asked... I believe that that 18th century principles are somewhat outdated for a 21st century where we've progressed rapidly in pretty much every way imaginable in the past 100 years, with the last 20 or so seeing the biggest changes.

With the rise of the internet and more specifically social media, I do not believe that people should have the ability to say whatever they like to whoever they like whenever they like.

The reason being is that in the 18th century 'Freedom of speech' was used to protest against the Government or open civil disputes in a largely orderly fashion. Or not, when used to say what ever you like to women, the gays, the blacks, the every other minority.

The difference being that in the 18th century, it would be easier to escape verbal abuse, it's much more difficult today, especially when it's largely impossible to 'disconnect' yourself from the internet, which is becoming more of the norm as we go on.

I'm not suggesting that we should have the Government dictating to us what we can or can't say, but I'm suggesting that as a society we should be able to decide that and then make it our constitution.

But I know that will never be a reality, so my prediction is that we'll eventually have WW3, but all the nato and ruskie gamers will just contact each other and be like lol what the fuck? and then we'll overthrow our government and we'll progress past the era of neo-imperialistic capitalism.

That's because it was good when it was David Dimbledy vs audience vs the panellists.

Now it's the audience vs the panellists

Kidneys are loved by polar bears, lions, tigers... um... and wyverns. If its good enough for them it's good enough for you lot.

When was the last time you heard a wyvern say "excuse me, but I'm trying to avoid eating kidneys in January; you haven't got some kale and couscous instead by any chance?"

Animals are clever. When did you last see a dog step in a human poo? The defence rests m'lud.
