The US government might well be shown to be petty and intolerant by banning people who state unpleasant views, but they have not violated anybody's free speech

On that basis people have the “right” to commit crimes. It’s certainly true that it is a question of personal moral conscience whether you commit a crime. But that right is considerably curtailed (“suppressed”) if it is sanctioned by criminal or civil penalties like travel bans. But thank you for revealing what the MAGA right really mean when they mention freedom of speech. It’s a say what you like but we will try to destroy you approach.

I think his empathy views were grammatical and technical. He didn’t believe that empathy was possible because he didn’t think it was possible to share someone else’s feelings. He didn’t believe in sympathy, ie consideration of someone else’s feelings.

I don’t agree with his views on empathy, but I don’t think he was as black or white in his views as you portray.

How ironic, all the empathy being shown about the tragic murder, and it turns out it’s not a word. This is real animal farm stuff

That's what I mean. It's all very well saying a few gun deaths is a price worth paying.

But the people saying that will exclude themselves from that.

Not unlike people on here who want the asylum seekers to keep coming but are not willing to put them up in one of their spare bedrooms.

or they could be housed in any one of the 750,000 homes standing empty. Or more new, affordable houses could be built.

Maybe after we've filled them with our own 354,000 homeless first eh, or don’t they count? Charity begins at home - why doesn’t anybody crying out for homes for immigrants ever mention that group of people?

They do. 'The Big Issue' has been running for far longer than this migrant "crisis".

Got any examples of how any of those 750,000 homes are being filled with the homeless by the big issue? Who owns them? Who pays for them? Who covers the upkeep and maintenance of them? Who pays the utilities bills? What would you do if you owned an unoccupied home?

So many questions.

Fortunately you have no right to enter the US, so I wouldn't worry about anybody infringing it.

You've already said it, I really have no idea what you are arguing about.

In the colloquial sense, you're of course correct. If you want to travel to the US then the US are indirectly imposing restrictions on your speech by their new rule.

Which need answering when people mention all those empty houses that could be used to house the homeless or asylum seekers.

Google is your friend.

You appear to be posting words at random that have no coherent narrative.

No. I'm just pointing out your bias.

Not much use.

If y'all so concerned maybe DIY-nutters could have a whip round to fix 'em up?

Funny these right wingers never mentioned the homeless until they realised they could use it as an argument against asylum seekers.
