The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Germany banned the dissemination of Nazi propaganda; unconstitutional but I wouldn't mind too much.

While I sympathize with the feeling, it's a dangerous line to cross. If we can ban that, then whatever the powers that be want to ban, they can ban. So, for example, DeSantis could ban anything he considers "woke".

I think the limitations on free speech that we current have are reasonable. albaby has discussed that multiple times in the past (i.e. unprotected speech). Depending on the propaganda, it's possible it may not be protected speech (IIRC, calling for violence is not protected).

Nazi propaganda is an example of what offends me, and evidence that I live in a free country. I can also call Nazis the scum of the earth, and that too is protected.
