I support free speech. Outdated ideas in yesterdays media help to highlight the mistakes of the past. "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it"

And who decides what “better” is? Therein lies the problem.

Wants to be progressive by wiping old idealogy from the history books. Sounds like whitewashing to me.

If you can't look at old ideas without being critical of them, how will you deal with those ideas when they inevitably come back around again? Nazis didn't disappear, they still exist. Do we wipe their entire history because they killed thousands of Jews?

People need to learn that getting rid of history only serves to fuel the opressors that got into power because of ignorance of history in the first place.

They ascribe and purport huh? Maybe put down the thesaurus. Those words ... don't work that way. Maybe if all the books weren't currently on fire you'd know that.

Impressionable. So many young children do love The Simpsons these days.

If anything it should be censored for not being funny. It hasn't really held up well. Whining about expression? Trying to stop a directed campaign to remove all non-conformist thought from schools is hardly "whining."

If the TV network decides not to show those episodes IDGAF. That's the free market. Fortunately The Simpsons is not educational material so it's a relatively easy discussion.

We need to be better, huh. Is taking down episodes of a 30 year old cartoon the next frontier for American morality? Probably not.

Whatever man. I'm done with your weird troll self after this. Sure, putting a stop the The Simpsons is a major issue.

Your rant was incoherent and referred to anti-censorship movements as "whiners." Among other things. I'm not even sure what your point was.

The only violence I'm contributing to is giving your sorry ass post a beatdown tonight.
