Facts should be allowed to beat up opinions

Jeff Jenkins

Apart from presentations that promote unlawful violence, in a Western context, opinions should be allowed to be freely expressed in a public forum. Every worldview and philosophy should be up for debate in a public forum.

Facts should be allowed to beat up opinions.

Private contexts have orthodoxy (Orthodox doctrine within the Christian Church, for example) for membership.

A public context should not have the same level of forced orthodoxy, as a private context with a more specific membership. Canadian citizenship, for example, requires allegiance to the State, but not a specific worldview.

(This idea, in part, based on an online chat I had with a good English friend, yesterday.)
