The debate was not gagged, it was not a debate at all.

On a private student forum for UWS there were some comments made in a thread by a couple of females that they weren't happy that when they opened up the university newspaper they were often met by photo's of gay people kissing all throughout. The 'offical uws queer officer' then hopped on the...

No I have pointed out that most terrorists consider imperialism as one of their reasons for taking out their actions. Therefore when someone is voicing such anti-imperialist views, you should investigate further to see if they have further terrorist views. Someone who is anti-imperialism and...

Does it matter if it benefits the government? Without showing that they somehow played a hand in orchestrating this media event it's hard to say their benefits are not justified. The problem being that many of these people are terrorist sympathises and you also realise this. They see the...

lol but that's not justice at all... You cannot simply lock people up for such long periods of time, and tell them that you're "processing their charges".

No, that's impossible. The main things that have changed since before are simply my views towards the free-market, corporations responsibilities etc. It's quite possible that I just check 'Strongly Disagree / Agree' more often than you I guess.
