That is the difference, isn't it? The Government isn't going to arrest me if I state, on FR, that homosexuals are going to go to hell unless they repent of their sin. But If I place an ad in a canadian paper saying that homosexuals are going to go to hell unless they repent, I could get sued by some offended homo or arrested under some inane hate crime law.
I wonder if this post will get pulled because I stated that homosexuals will go to hell unless they repent.
