Stop taking comments out of context. If you don't agree with the opinion fine don't misquote people its uncalled for.
Just be gracious enough to except some have their reasons for their view.

I'm not taking it out of context, he said that comedy should be controlled right? Given that stand up comedy usually consists of view and opinions presented in a comedic fashion it would be a restriction of free speech to try and censor it no? He wants to have his cake and eat it and you can't do that with free speech it's either free or it isn't.

I'm going to challenge people's points Kizzy, especially when they're as...short sighted as some presented in this topic.

I'm talking about television broadcasting, not people on the street, in comedy clubs as that can't be "controlled".

If the "control" manages to stop so called comedians using young defenceless kids as comic fodder by declaring they must shag their mothers then so be it.

Have my cake and eat it? What are you talking about?
You're taking an opinion I have about TV broadcasting, which seems to mostly already be in effect mostly and acting as though I'm in support of martial law or something.

Yes It should..If he had made those comments on the street it would have been a very different story.

No it would not...You cannot be personally offensive and then cry 'It's OK I was only joking!'

Your attempt to justify this to me has failed....But I respect you and your right to your opinion.

I'm sorry I wasn't aware that free speech didn't cover people who get miffed over being offended. Silly me.

Do a bit of research, find out what free speech actually means and we can discuss it.
