15. Your rationalization doesn't work with me.

The solution to speech you don't like isn't to censor which is what the U.K. is doing. Putting fingers in your ears and going la la la won't make these opinions go away. You counter speech you don't like with more speech.

After all, free speech freedoms are for unpopular opinions. You cheer today, but it may be one of your opinions that may be illegal tomorrow.

It just goes to prove that liberals can be just as anti-freedom as their right-wing counterparts.
