    This would be protected under free speech.

    I’m unfamiliar with Danish law so I was trying not to get into the specifics. Can you cite the relevant legislation?

    The slippery slope falicy is when you start at one point and then it moves to an extreme without any reasonable way to reach that extreme from that first step. Having a law that limits burning certain books in a fashion designed to encourage violence without having a purpose has no relation to banning public displays of affection.

    It absolutely does if you consider my entirely reasonable point that passing this law will not be the end of the matter. There will always be further demands. To not consider this is naive.

    As to your last point. There are laws in place to protect other people’s property which prohibit what you can do with yours. That’s obvious.

    Maybe I don’t burn the book. Maybe I rip pages out of it or otherwise deface it. Should those actions also be illegal?
