    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    Except Parler didn't do this. Amazon Web Services - their hosting service - did. Parler is alive and well, and back online. But it's sad that they had to find an offshore host to continue operating.

    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    I think part of the problem hinges on the fact that people generally seem to believe that these companies are the genuine "Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park." While I would agree that they are "a" Speaker's Corner, I would disagree that they are "the" Speaker's Corner. And I think that might be the...

    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    You set up the diversion sign. I thought it was a pointless counter argument. But it does go to show just how hard people will go to ride a hobby horse to death.. Good to see that common sense is starting to reign in some places.

    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    The laws in just your state fill an entire library. Federal laws are even more cumbersome. And don't forget the municipal laws either.... Nobody knows them all. BTW, when laws change, while people usually follow the new direction, the cops don't go looking for offenses that they can...

    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    Uh -huh. And how many areas of life do you know where this type of behavior from officials would be acceptable? Driving.... Only pink cars need to stop for stop signs. Sports..... The red team must stand on the side lines, while the blue teams kicks several balls into the net. The problem is...

    Federal judge puts Florida 'deplatforming' law on hold...

    Here's the main issue with that philosophy..... Yes; You read the contract. Yes; You agree to the TOS. HOWEVER; Hidden deep in the fine print of a significant number of these agreements is a little one sided rule which generally states to the effect that the website owner can change the rules...

    Why doesn't the government provide cell phone service?

    I would think there may be a few trade offs on this one. Even if someone does not personally drive, I'm sure they've gone to the local supermarket and brought something that was brought in on a truck. Point is; We ALL benefit from the road system regardless of whether we directly use it, or not.

    Why doesn't the government provide cell phone service?

    It works well. And it's usually very reasonable. But I think you need to understand how we got to the situation we are at today. I know your communications history in the States is a bit different from ours, but I think there are some lessons to be learned. When I was growing up the government...

    Articles of impeachment

    Wow. The Democrats are finally going to file articles of impeachment. Never saw that one coming. Ya know, I haven't been this shocked since the day Liberace confessed to everyone he was gay....

    Proselytizing: What is it and is it a good or bad thing?

    I think most objections to proselytizing are based in method, rather than actual content. Facts can always be verified. While you may sometimes run into someone who refuses to agree to facts, it's usually the opinions and interpretations of the same that cause a significant portion of the...

    Impeachment in 2020?

    Didn't they limit presidency to two terms because they felt that too much power for too long would eventually lead to a corrupt government? If there's "evil" on both sides, then maybe it's time to limit senate terms as well.

    Did you know the Moon is part of Mars? According to Derpy Donny Dollhands it is!

    Exactly. Of course, then again.... if people all took a reasonable position like this then we wouldn't have anything to argue about on these forums - would we?

    Witches and witchcraft

    That's not quite correct ..... Within the concept of toleration is the implicit idea that, "I don't agree with you, but nevertheless, I'm going to allow you to go your merry way. " We do tolerate others. But admittedly, we don't allow them to preach their ideology in our pulpits. And I kinda...

    Pro-choice vs Abortion

    Frankly, we would not have cared if the kid was plaid with antennas sticking out his backside. We simply wanted a child. It's slightly different in Canada. Government is no charge. Private agencies cost a bit, usually done for cost, plus a donation to the organization. But all adoptions need...

    Pro-choice vs Abortion

    Say what you will. My wife and I tried to adopt but were unable to do so. Seems there's a bit of a shortage of adoptable babies in our area.... It appears they're all* being aborted. (* for the sake of those who don't understand how to read hyperbole.)

    Witches and witchcraft

    Probably not many. To "prophesy" in the OT mainly meant to speak, expound and exhort. Many people confuse forthtelling (telling forth - preaching, teaching, correcting) of the Word of God with foretelling (predicting future events) of the future. Two entirely different things. While God did...
