This is human nature.

Shaking my head.

People are stupid. That's all there is to it.

Just wait and see. Soon saying "fuck you" on the internet will be interpreted as attempted rape.

Offended peole, fearful people, raising their big stick...
Legitimate?

Sometimes...

Is "safety" worth the innocence corrupted or lost?

I wonder if me stating the fact that I am a Muslim is a "terroristic" threat...

Nobody would dare make that accusation, given the current media climate....

Surely not. I hope not. Here I go off topic. I remember you talking about being a Christian for some time. I'm curious as to when and what prompted you to convert. Just curious - no ulterior motive. It's also none of my business.

Heads up on Malaysia. http://www.nst.com.my/latest/malaysia-moving-towards-drugs-decriminalisation-says-nancy-1.310590

After I got back from Malaysia in 2011, I kept studying the Islam I was exposed to there. It stayed in the back of my head. I couldn't shake it. It grew and grew and I fairly recently converted.

As for Malaysia, trust me, it's not as benign as the way they word it. That rehab system they mentioned, they've got that in place already, and it's very forced, if one escapes, they get caned. Trust me, it's all semantics. It's not our Western concept of "decriminalization."

I actually remember reading this online the other day. Just another case of people thinking what they post ONLINE is kept private and out of the public eye.

I'm a big advocate for free speech and respecting personal privacy, however when you post online you are exercising the first aspect and revoking your right to the second.
