(602 posts)I think there is a lot more support both here and in America for finding ways to limit hate speech than you are aware of. The "crap" that I've been "trying to push" for the last couple of weeks is simply an attempt to promote discussion on the topic of hate speech -- to get opinions and promote understanding of the subject -- something that you and a few others are apparantly opposed to. Instead, you are resolute in your (and others') "right" to spew the hatred, obnoxious slanders and vile speech to whoever, whenever you want, regardless of the consequences. Your posture on this topic explains the belligerent tone of your posts, and is identical to the many right-wing "defenses" of hate speech. My guess is that you haven't spent enough time learning the very real and dangerous, even deadly, effects that hate speech has on Americans and on others around the world. Or, you are aware of the consequences, but still support unlimited hate speech because it is something that perhaps you are prone to use, consequences be damned. Don't be surprised if you one day wake up and find that reasonable, non-hate-filled Americans have had enough of this "crap" and that a majority are in favor of sensible (think Canada, U.K. other countries) laws to at least put a lid on the most vile and dangerous samples of hate speech that we currently have to deal with.
