In reply to the discussion: Pope Slams Capitalism, Inequality Between Rich And Poor In New Years Message [View all]allrevvedup
(408 posts)63. He's not talking about respect, he's talking about hate.
Your comments are fine, but some in this thread are clear violations of DU Community Standards (rude, over-the-top, inappropriate, not to mention unbelievably juvenile) and a few are also violations of TOS ("bigoted hate speech"
.
What is hate speech? It's communication that incites hatred of an individual or group based on a characteristic such as race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, age, disability, or religion. It's wrong no matter who it's directed toward and there are much better ways to express disagreement. Instead of reciting predictable schoolyard insults for example wouldn't it be better to discuss actual policies and their effects?
