Wait a second, maybe I can't follow you here. Are you saying that there should be no consequences for anyone no matter who someone is political supporting, because it is in political context?

If so, two questions: - What if someone is supporting someone in none political context (which is hard, cause kind of nearly everything could be defined as such), does then someone have to stand for her/his public behaviour and face disagreement or consequences? - What if someone supports politically the KKK, the IS or any other organisation or party, that you might not agree with?

How about a much more important thing in our constitution: Free speech. Does free speech mean I can say and publicly announce anything, without having to face consequences?

I am not sure if it is ridiculous. It depends. It's about a line that everyone has to draw and to set. And this also what Marco is trying to mention in his post I guess.

Let's take a more extreme example from history, just for pointing out that there is a line: I hope we could agree that supporting the NSDAP is as far over such a line as imaginable.

Not comparing anyone in this context with the NSDAP, just pointing out that there is such a line, and hiding behind "political free opinion" doesn't help to avoid hard decisions.

Just one quick comment, because these discussions always go there: This is not about Hillary. Whatever the family Clinton did or not did, it doesn't matter. This is about someone who supports Donald Trump in a significant way, and the person Donald Trump and his potential negative impact on our society.

Have you seen https://teleport.org/cities/stockholm ?

Pretty much gives you roughly the things you asked above.

You can also post a question on their "Ask A Local" board, if you are up for more specifics... https://teleport.org/community/c/ask-a-local/stockholm/

elias12··on Thanks Apple, You ruined my day
Is it so hard to deactivate auto updating for a beta version? It's not fun to have a brick in the pocket when you are traveling. Not everyone has 3 iPhones for testing purposes only. We are talking about hundertthousands of beta users? That's not "Apple Thinking" about details, come on, that's embarrassing.
