Uneducated people should be protected from ideas that are proven to be bad. Looks like America just can't learn lessons like Sandy Hook or this one.

Uneducated people should be protected from ideas that are proven to be bad.

Like capitalism?

Or free Negroes?

Western Culture?

Please don't make it absurd. The border is very clear. Ideas that undoubtedly caused tens of millions of deaths. It is even worse than child porn.

> Ideas that undoubtedly caused tens of millions of deaths.

Like slavery or manifest destiny? both ideas that America as a whole supported at one time, and used ideas like "they are too uneducated" to prop up.

Ideas that undoubtedly caused tens of millions of deaths.

Yes, I mentioned Western Culture, didn't I?

Can you please make a complete list of all of the ideas I can't read about because I'm too stupid? Thanks!/s

Who decides who is uneducated? Who decides what ideas are so bad they can't read? What's the enforcement mechanism?

1. Incitement to hatred based on religion, sex, race. 2. No need to decide who is uneducated. 3. Who decided that child porn is bad? I believe America can manage it. Most European countries could.

Again, what's the enforcement mechanism?

Who decides who is uneducated?

What are the parameters for "bad"?

1. It is better to protect everyone. Uneducated people don't know history. Those who know are not affected anyway. 2. If more than 10 mil died because of some idea = bad
