what kind of hate speech do we just HAVE to tolerate in modern life?

@MartenSPhotographer Racist? Such as???

Well nonsense like that and thinking that every Latino from south of the Rio Grande is a Mexican.

Or thinking there is a worldwide conspiracy by the Jews. 😉
(and that's why a crazy guy did a shooting in a Pittsburg synagogue)

@MartenSPhotographer What about the racism of religion? Judaism, Islam, Hinduism... Some of the biggest religions in the world preach racial hatred and hide behind free speech. Is that ok?

Free speech needs free thinking from an open mind first. 😉

@MartenSPhotographer ha

he was a gloomy one 4 sure

@Qwerty14 By the way, not the religions preach hate, there are messages of LOVE and COMPASSION included as well. But reading books with a narrow mind (orthodxy, fanatism) lead to hate and also hate deeds. Unfortunately.

fanaticism

the old spell checker has been guillotined.

Just a moment ago I corrected my typo... 😄

@MartenSPhotographer Sure those religions that I listed above preach love if you're of their "race". Look to India and see the caste system, or Israel and see how they treat the Palestinians, or the rest of the Middle East and see how they treat non Arabic people. And why? Because their books say that they are the chosen ones and everyone else is lesser. Hatred disguised as religion.

@Qwerty14 question is....in your opinion where does the line get drawn, so to speak?

@Platoscave Ah that is a tough one. Very grey area. I think free speech is an illusion though. Like no country really allows you to say anything. So the real question is what restrictions should we put in place. Racial hatred seems like a good place to start, even religion based.
