    Even your government does, it is part of job of governments to restrict speech.

        It's standard practise for any authoritarian society, which demands total conformity to the prevailing ideology.

          Speech also has restrictions in USA. Saying it has ''''''free'''''' speech has meaning of zero, 'freer' may have more sense.

              We don't want totalitarianism in any form...either Christian or Communist or Fascist.

                    That's not so. You want everyone to act and think the same way you do, and want to suppress contrary thought or speech.

                      So what do you think?

                      I think demi makes an interesting point. If God thought strongly enough about homosexuality to have the death penalty for it, I don't think it seems right to be arguing against what China is doing here.

                        Coming from the side that has been pushing for total conformity in thought and speech. Speech codes anyone?
