That's lazy thinking, young man. You have to protect freedom of expression in all cases, or when you really want that freedom, it will have disappeared.

Are political & religious views the only type of speech that's worthy of protection? If that's the prevailing attitude in England I can see why they have institutionalized censorship to the degree they do. Thank goddess over here we hold freedom of speech to a near absolute degree.

And how do you know that film won't revolutionize the way you- or somebody else- sees the world? You haven't seen it. How can you judge whether it's worthy of the same protection other works of art get or not?
