If you want to take down everything offensive off the net you have got a MASSIVE job a head of you... good luck with that!
Not true. I defend those that can't defend themselves (those being family) and don't deserve the abuse.
I was referring to Lord Melchett, not you.
And well done to all the sanctimonious pricks who helped with censoring the Internet.
If people spent as much time and effort doing something positive for the world instead of whinging about being offended by it then what a lovely world this would be.
Quite frankly, as much as I consider pages like that to be shit, I also everyone who lobbied to be as bad as the page creators with their whole "LOOK MUM, I'M BEING OFFENDED" mentality.
Here's a plan: next time something offends you, stop reading it and go donate a quid to a suitable charity to counter it. If everyone whinging did this, we'd find cures quicker and there'd be nothing to laugh it. Or at the very least, read something else: there are millions of pages on the Internet, nobody forced you to read one that offended you.
Just because something offends you doesn't mean it's wrong. Taking offence is a choice you make. Grow up and move on.
How far does tolerance and free speech/ideas go ? Did you think it was ok in 1930 and 1940 Germany with the Nazi regime ? If anyone disapproved of this ideaology were they " santcimounious pricks " If being offended by the material makes me a " sanctimonious prick " I am happy to be one.

Come off it, that page is clearly very wrong !
Regardless of what it says, freedom of speech is not wrong. We must not start censoring statements we don't agree with.

There seems to be some confusion here. The page is highly offensive but the troll still has the right to post it. Just because something offends me (and I've had cancer and my sister currently has it) doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. The principle of freedom of speech extends to idiots and is way more important than if something offends me.
So if I started a thread on here taking the piss out of cancer victims, you would be ok with that ?
This is what I mean by confusion. I would be "offended" by the thread, I wouldnt be happy about it, I would think you you were a low life c**t but I would defend your absolute right to post it on here. These are not the mutually exclusive positions that you appear to think they are.
What if the page was racist or maybe sympathising with kiddy fiddlers would you also say that would be ok for all to read on Facebook ?
