@stclairashley @Imi_Ahmed I would rather suffer the free speech of the ignorant than allow the ignorant to restrict my free speech.

@KonstantinKisin @Imi_Ahmed Happy to listen, still waiting for a logical answer on who, on this planet, is emotionally and mentally unbiased or neutral to be an arbiter in determining what is considered hate speech?

@Imi_Ahmed I enjoy your perspective, but can't listen to these psychologically demented people. They're overrif8ng principle is that we shouldn't be nasty to people.. Unless they disagree with them!

@Imi_Ahmed Not sure I can stomach an hour of listening to this, looks super tiresome.

Like the plot to a dystopian movie, New York will now monitor social media writings, collect data, and use law enforcement to crack down on any expression it deems to be hate speech.

@Imi_Ahmed Can someone tell him that in the USA, Pharma companies advertise directly to the public with a profit motive and YES, they also can be "snake oil salespeople"??

@Imi_Ahmed Can someone tell him that "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" is not in the USA Constitution, but is in the Declaration of Independence from Great Brittain?

@KonstantinKisin @Imi_Ahmed Man you really hammed up the contention in the promo. Seemed like a perfectly reasonable conversation throughout. Imran made some great points and it seemed like you agreed on almost everything. Maybe the locals chat got more heated?

@Imi_Ahmed Why would I want to use my valuable time listening to this bigot's opinion? Genuine question?

@Imi_Ahmed 35:40 calls covid-19 lab leak origin "nonsense"

This guy is the worst type of person in the world. He doesn't come out and just state his view, which is that he doesn't believe in free speech. Instead, he couches it in virtuous language as though he is the "good guy." Unfortunately, many people fall for this. People tend to think of tyrants throughout history as cartoonish supervillains who know that they are evil, but the reality is that they ALL couched their arguments in the language of virtue. His beliefs are the gas that will someday fuel the fire of tyranny if he and others are allowed to have their way.
