Berklee is like a top-3 composition school in the world. The top 20% there are the .1%. There’s a lot more music out

I’m reluctant to stop stupid people from talking. Let them talk and teach them.

Hate speech is still free speech. That's why the 1st Amendment exists.

There are other consequences to that than the pilot being violent

Dude what? Where did you pull the violent comment from

DodgerCoug

chismoso

"Hate speech" is how leftist/communist define anything they don't like to hear.

That would be a violation of the airline I hope. Kick them off. That’s

SBB

Those consequences are socially enforced. Mormons don't have that clout

They weren’t treated as bad as this one group, therefore we can persecute
