No one has the right to do crimes of course. Also, I hope we are intelligent enough to see right from wrong.Πέτροςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218739364640746759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-12779903149719046912009-10-05T12:24:09.039+03:002009-10-05T12:24:09.039+03:00It's quite simple, as far as I understand.

They can decide for themselves what to believe and what not to. <br />Those are the elementary principles of democracy. <br /><br />And so far, the citizens have decided against Chrisi Avgi: it's at 0,1% (give/take some)... <br />So, don't underestimate the citizens and don't over-react. <br /><br />I am a SYRIZA voter, so, you understand, I personally get sick when I look at those fascistoids. But I will not trap myself and my side, into censoring them. If we do, we will be next in line.<br /><br />To take this to the next step: I believe it's DANGEROUS for our freedom of speech that France outlawed "denial of holocaust" for Jewish and Armenians. <br />Because, what's next? <br /><br />e.g. When will they outlaw speaking against the EU? <br />When will they outlow speaking against capitalism and the large corporations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-56132150476522060912009-10-03T14:58:18.445+03:002009-10-03T14:58:18.445+03:00It's quite simple, as far as I understand.

Still, everybody has the right to voice opinions, even opinions that are despicable and plainly wrong. But they do not have the right to commit crimes. These guys are criminals, not alternative thinkers.<br /><br />3. Whether they are on TV or not is a small issue compared to the fact that if we had a truly independent, democratic police force, they should be in jail already. You can't go on TV when you are in jail. (Well, I wouldn't actually put that past Mr Triantafilopoulos, but that's a different matter...)ΑΥΓΟΥΣΤΙΝΟΣ ΖΕΝΑΚΟΣhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914337904371093144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-70873891524424799182009-10-02T00:00:34.549+03:002009-10-02T00:00:34.549+03:00You suggest cencorship?You suggest cencorship?Πέτροςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218739364640746759noreply@blogger.com
