I find it mildly amusing (though not necessarily incorrect) to see that Noam Chomsky has made the grade as a crucial part of the notion of "dissent" Lucidish 19:00, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bookable offence?

What the heck does "Bookable offence" mean? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 19:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


Can somebody give me ONE good reason for letting these external links stay? If not, they're pretty damn biased and unreasonable and I'm going to pull them. Grahamdubya 04:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Don't get me wrong I agree with this statement: "Several thinkers have argued that a healthy society needs not only to protect, but also to encourage dissent." Although a dose of dissent is healthy to a community, a dissident however may have a negative effect on smaller groups such as friends, work groups etc, always nay-saying and not contributing practical solutions for example. I think something like this should be added to the article, anybody help with a source? Ryan4314 (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kalama Sutta

Maybe it's better to build a short section within the article about its meaning.
