Tin Foil, Tea, & the GOP • “Rape jokes are harmful and they contribute to the existence of rape culture, trivialize sexual assault, perpetuate rape myths.” - We’re just not going to agree on that. Highly specious, not true. Speech is speech, not action. “Even if Laci gets taken off Tumblr; her freedom of speech still remains she will simply just have to find another place for it.” switched around easy. There’s no point in winning if you’re just as bad as what you’re fighting. Silencing people is never the answer.

I am not going to waste my time with you; there is really no point as you are clearly ignorant about the topic.
