Who defines the difference between opposite points of view and hating someone for their beliefs, religion or race? Hate speech is as vague a term as "hate crimes." Yet we have somehow accepted a forced decision to have such a term in our legal system.


What difference is it if you kill someone because of their politics, their race, their religion, or they fuhked your wife? Dead is dead and murder is simply wrong. There is no degree of it.

We seem comfortable with calling Jihadis a hate group, So the intentional programing of labeling White men in the same light is but a minor graduation of employing the term, hate. And, it is in a very close proximity to calling our nation's founders white supremist.

Oh wait, has that not already happened?

What is really happening is, the PC culture that is pushing this, does NOT believe that THEY, promote hate speech in any way.

We had, what I call Hate Speech spewed 24/7 for over 4 years, but not one Democrat would ever see it that way.

The left needs to be able to differentiate between speech that can actually hurts others, and speech that just hurts the feelings of a few.

If someone is saying something that I don't agree with, I can just choose to ignore them. If they insist upon making a scene, I can usually shut them up by presenting the facts to counter their ignorance and stupidity.

when we were kids? If we went home and told our parents that someone said something that we didn't like, they would simply say, "Don't listen to them" or
"Ignore them"

But somewhere along the line parents started saying "Oh you poor baby, we will get an attorney and stop that from ever happening again"

In another generation or two, the people in this country will be so weak and fragile, they will gladly accept socialism and communism.

the kicker? their theme this year is: “America Uncanceled.”



guess they had to try to screw themselves out of being screwed. rofl

moral of the story: yes, Virginia, sometimes offensive speech should be canceled.

Perhaps their speech is truly offensive.

I am guessing, however--without really being familiar with "Young Pharoa[h]"--that is offensive toward the left.

And one may reasonably wonder: Would you be equally outraged at speech that is offensive toward the right?
