Things likethis give me faith in the eminent sensibleness of my fellow islanders. Duly signed by yours truly.
I saw the new petition. It's more pathetically written than the one I brought up. It's a petition to "shove it in American's faces". This petition will only flare the amount of stereotyping done between Americans and Europeans.
Obviously this is a generalisation. I can see plenty of Americans on here defending him and hats off to you. But I think it is rather odd how quickly the American right wing in particular cherry pick the constitution as and when it suits them.
This is the point where I should be arguing against you, pointing out that libertarians, whom are right wing, don't cherry pick the constitution to push their own personal agenda. But, these people on YouTube proved me wrong. Any libertarians who wants to deport Morgan is no longer a brother in ideology with me, since freedom of speech is one of the most sacred things we should strive to protect.
Many people have pointed out that the constitution doesn't protect foreigners. Fine, I'll give these people that, but we should STILL protect Morgan's right to speech. Our founding fathers wrote the constitution knowing that people need to be protected FROM the government when they challenge government action, laws, and ideas. Our founders knew that even the constitution might need changed one day (Article 5 is evidence of this).
The idea is that non-citizens shouldn't have a say when it comes to American policies, which is true at some levels. For example, I believe non-citizens shouldn't be able to vote or run for office. However, I believe non-citizens should be allowed to speak freely because they aren't directly voting on laws or politicians, they're convincing citizens to do so as well.
I detest censorship on the internet, because I believe it's important for us to share our ideas with others around the world. If I don't like something that's going on in Australia, I believe I should be allowed to talk to Australians and try to convince them to vote better people who won't censor video games. If I detest censoring the internet or T.V., then why would I support censoring someone just because they're on American soil? Morgan could broadcast his views from outside the country, and Libertarians (I would bloody **** hope) wouldn't support censorship of media just because it came from an outside source! To me, censoring Morgan, just because he's not a citizen, is just like censoring the internet.
So far, two people tried to use an analogy suggesting what I would do if someone came into my home and started to belittle the way I run my household. The problem with this analogy is that it's too weak. A household is not a democracy, nor is it a republic. I can kick whomever I want from my house for whatever reason I want - or for no reason at all! If we ran the country the way we ran our households, we would be living in an autocracy, not a democratic-republic. This is why such analogy is too weak to be used. If you hear anyone compare America to a household, just repeat what I said.
