Berkeley was once ground zero for TRUE free speech, now it is becoming ground zero for censorship. Because of a bunch of privileged brats who think they are fighting for something.

Now I am no Ann Coulter fan (although the SJW police on here will accuse me of being a fan shortly after posting this), but I am a fan of free speech! What is going on? These "anti-fascist" rioters are the epitome of FASCISM. This kind of stupidity is what gives rise to the likes of Trump, this is true fascism that is making thinking people distance themselves from the modern "left", not because they like people like Milo nd Ann, but because they like their rights and civil liberties intact.
Do you think this is good or bad?

A polite way to ask someone to keep their hands to themselves...
by White Dove inwhat's a polite way to ask a man to keep his hands to himself while conversing in a group with you?.
this neighbor of mine and i were sitting in chairs on the deck with other people.. he always touched me whenever he said anything to me or i said anything to him.. it was as if he was using touch like an antenna to send and receive signals.. i didn't know what to do, so instead of risking embarrassment for us both, i did nothing but stand up and step away.. i stepped away after he attempted to caress my hamstrings on one leg.. *shudder*.
wonder why 60+ year old men think that a woman being nice to him means she's hot for him.. also wonders why it's only the smoking, beer guzzling, scrawny, bony, and smelly old men who do that.. .

Could a petition to make shunning illegal work?
by aboveusonlysky inwe're currently watching leah remini's series about scientology and the main thing she seems to focus on is the shunning policies of the scientology organization which let's face it are very similar to jw procedure.. i was wondering with all that's in the media recently about bullying could a petition be put together to get the goverment to consider making religiously mandated shunning illegal?
has such a thing been tried before?.
https://petition.parliament.uk/help says the following - .

You can't force people to speak
What might make more sense, is to hold religious (charity/non-profit) organizations responsible for promoting what amounts to a human rights problem. Then penalize them with threatening their "religion" status.
You practice systematic shunning, bye bye tax exemption. That's as far as I would go, making things illegal and banning them never makes sense.

Go bags?
by punkofnice ini heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.

Dear supporters of Russia's JW Ban:
by Jehalapeno inthis is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?

As soon as one group is banned, no matter how we disagree with their views, it leaves the door open to banning something we feel is important
I agree. The light sterilizes this type of shit. Banning it only pushes it further I to the shadows. Let people think their crazy shit but put it out in the light of criticism.

Banning reinforces their persecution complex and pushed victims in further.
Which do you think would help more victims escape watchtower? Russian ban? Or ARC coverage? If you really do care about the victims and not just hating the org, you want exposure not ban.

Getting ban crazy is the slippery utopian slope of the SJW. Eventually, everyone and everything will be banned. Once it begins, no one is safe. Bans don't fix or stop shit EVER. Exposure and criticism are far more effective.

People love BANS these days when it involves something they don't like. Bans are not the answers to most problems. There is a new embracing of fascist ideas simply because they believe it will alleviate something the individual or group doesn't like. I do believe JWS are hypocrites for speaking out against it since they practice "banning" of dissenters, but Russia is totally in the wrong and the ban is bad.
