I don't often agree with any limitations of opinion and yes, there are many people with opinions we can have a comfortable laugh about when they spout it off in the pub. We can even join in the fun when a TV reporter asks them a question and broadcasts their froth at the mouth reaction for our entrrtainment.

But there has to be a limit.

Shouting "fire" in a cinema or publishing hatred in publicly accessible places where moderators suppress the challenge but leave the crime intact.

Sorry Al, neither I, the Musket in Scotland (presumably the guest, cookie run out?) nor it would seem, some others on these threads feel acceptance of propagation of hate is acceptable, not when it can be removed with no detriment to the hater other than removing the oxygen of publicity.

Yes, there are plenty of people set in their ways and those ways are set in a time when we were younger and beyond. Yes, not everybody has the intelligence to move forward with the times. The comic on your cruise. I bet you might have laughed more thirty years ago? I might have. I once went to see Jim Davidson in Blackpool and couldn't stop laughing. A few years later on a stag night there, I was taken to see Chubby Brown. Despite my beer intake and even saying I ain't no prude, I wandered out to the bar instead and found quite a few disillusioned fellow theatre goers who found out the expensive way that Brown, Manning and that awful lot just aren't even funny, even if you can laugh at outrageous concepts.

We live with and try to accommodate all views.

But it doesn't mean you leave them a billboard, paper, bucket of paste and crayons outside their house.
