Only partly overthrown. The supereme courts comment on overthrowing the case was clear:

"the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action [e.g., a riot] and is likely to incite or produce such action."

No I am not vaccinated.

@Eris

@Oblivia

You seem to be confusing "an open invitation" with.. "something likely to provoke responses".. not the same thing. I have no issue putting in the low effort of calling someone an idiot if they decide to respond anyway (which is expected).. takes no time out of my day.

@Eris

@Eris

No quite the opposite. The case which references screaming fire in a theater (which was actually about distributing flyers with misinformation on it) specifically stated that screaming fire in a theater would be against the law as an example of why the case being tried found the individual guilty.

Here is an exact quote from the Judge (Holmes) remarking on this very thing:

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.... The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.

You dont need to understand a topic to discuss it, no. But you look like an idiot, and are an idiot, if you assert things as facts on a subject you dont understand.

@Oblivia

@Telvannichad

When did I ever say that. I have been vocal and against the government forcing vaccinations.

@Eris

@Oblivia

I didnt invite further discussion. Quite the opposite. The OP shows the basic level of knowledge a person needs to have before even approaching the subject, of which most anti-vaxers dont have. So it explicitly suggests people unable to pass the test DONT discuss it, the opposite of inviting it.

@Eris

@Eris

If you lie and scream fire in a theater and someone gets trampled and dies, you go to jail and/or get sued. No you dont have the right to say whatever you want.

@swiley

@Eris I've addressed this topic in detail dozens of times on my time line. Every time the anti-vax morons just spew nonsense and ignore or arent smart enough to comprehend the reality. So yes at this point I stopped putting int he effort because its a waste of my time.

@Eris Thanks for proving my point, that people too stupid to pass the above test will also be too stupid to assert actual facts correctly.

@Eris You dont. But you do need to understand a topic if you expect to state facts about said topic.

@Alex1488 Dont blame me you got called out for not even being able to pass the entry level exam needed to know the absolute basics of a subject you claim to be informed about.

Woot, my Lab599 TX-500 SDR transceiver arrived today! Powered it up and tested her and she works great. Now just need to get a mobile setup together and time to test her on a trail somewhere.

As a world traverler I can say Netherlands really is the utopia they say in a physical sense, that is, sights, sounds, infrastructure, etc. The gripes I have about the Netherlands, which arent enough to push me away, lie in politics, law, and taxes. Though I will admit if you want a country with cities and suburbs as nice as the netherlands it will cost everyone in taxes. So at least with the netherlands I can say the taxes you pay get used on, mostly, good things.

Some things I have noticed that really cause the netherlands to stand apart:

Cleanliness. There is virtually no trash blowing in the breeze (outside of maybe Amsterdam, and even that is minimal). No disgusting smells, and very few places that seem rundown, even despite the fact that most buildings are so old. The place is cleaner than any country I have seen, by several orders of magnitude. Simply crossing the border can be a shock when you get used to it too.

Infrastructure. Trains and buses go everywhere, even to remote areas. You will literally never need a bike or a car if you dont want. That said the infrastructure for bikes is insane. They have parking garages dedicated to them everywhere, more roads for bikes than cars, and the bike lanes are carefully constructured to go through beautiful areas. You can be biking through a town and feel like your in the middle of nowhere since they try to line it with woods and grass where possible.

Technology. They use tech to make their infrastructure even better. For example at train stations and in public it is very common to have "robotic" bathrooms. That is, after you use it the doors lock down and robotic devices come out of the walls and clean everything, walls toiley, everything, automatically. Also there are toilets that literally rise out of the ground, usually just urinals, during the night when people are drinking at bars. There are also perminant public urinals everywhere as you walk, so it is quite nice.

@swiley
It really is. Wild
