(602 posts)The people in the Middle East are impoverished, as much by their own dysfunctional forms of government as they are by the western capitalist powers that have been exploiting them for centuries. Those people are poor, destitute and have no hope. ALL they have is their religion and their beliefs. There are plenty of people in America who want to pepper these poor people with good ol' hefty doses of American hate speech. I would prefer to just let them live their lives without having to deal with the hate and obnoxious insults that America generates 24/7. I don't think that those people are in any way benefited by the hefty helpings of hate and slander that Americans send their way, it just makes the world hate us more, puts us all in more danger by inspiring hatred and motivations of revenge in people who have nothing to lose. If America could figure out a way to contain it's often obnoxious brand of "free speech" within it's own borders, everybody would benefit.
