7. Sorry but my goodwill will only go so far. Theres free speech & then theres free speech.
How about I interpret the laws as I see fit? Say as in I believe you are endangering the lives of these kids so I will use brute force to protect them. You want to play these games? Let the games begin.

In other news: Antigay Facebook Posts Lead to Big Pay Cut

What you can and cannot say on Facebook is becoming a real problem for homophobes.

A Manchester, England, man who made antigay comments on Facebook got a 40% pay cut when his employer found out, and now the man is filing a lawsuit, the BBC reports.

Adrian Smith was a manager at Trafford Housing Trust and was moved to an adviser role after Smith said on Facebook that the Bible insists "marriage is for men and women," and he also called same-sex marriage "an equality too far."

Trafford Housing Trust said the statements violated its code of conduct, which requires employees to make clear on Facebook and elsewhere that their personal statements do not represent the company. Smith's Facebook page had identified him as a manager at the company.

I am to the point of using any means necessary to protect our youth from assholes like this. People like this are nothing but cowards & yes it would give me great pleasure to show them just how cowardly they are. I am a non violent person, but enough is enough!
