    As long as they don't harm others, sure.


    But that involves those pesky morals, what a shame, eh?

    I think people just like to play armchair psychologist online and build a tower of intellectual superiority over others. Basically people with big egos making noise, nothing new but certain people like to believe it's new

    You're a prime example.
    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

    That is not a crime though. We only punish those breaking the law in the first place.

    The topic that people argue on is largely irrelevant, it's the way they do it. That's why I tried to use as many different cases as I could think of.
    Recognizing the emotional impact a subject of discussion brings with it is good. Overreacting is bad. Yeah pretty common sense stuff. Some people are nuts.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Not sure you know what a "pedo" is, but no, you can't "rehabilitate" an attraction.

    Not sure what this has to do with anything but any medical professional that recommends such a horrible thing should be put in prison.

    Again, not sure what this has to do with anything but being "perv" is not illegal so there's not actually any hiding going on. There is not and never will be a such thing as a "thought crime".

    Asking people to get rid of their emotional intelligence is roughly the same as asking people to stop being humans.

    Honestly, you'll never fix any of that. First of all, because your first post is guilty of spreading what you're pleading against and I'm not even sure you're aware of it.

    Second, of all, emotions are baseline in humans. Even psychopaths have them, even if it's acting differently. If you really want to help move toward a more objective society, start by asking your news stations to stop amplifying everything with clickbait titles and emotional words. "Trump gets WRECKED by Mexican Prime Minister" or "Hillary is DYING - here're 7 reasons why!" are not good to promote healthy discussions. It just makes you more polarized and blind to facts. Why can't we have neutral titles like "Trump met with Mexico's Prime Minister to discuss about future political plans" or "Medical information about Hillary may indicates some health issues"?

    Last but not least, start with yourself. You cannot change the world, but you can definitely change how you see things and how you act on them.

    This also helps explain why religion and politics in particular are banned from discussion on many public forums. Anything that strikes at the heart of a person's identity tends to foster that sort of "us vs. them" mentality.
