If free speech doesn't cover 'hate speech' then what exactly is it defending?
Free sharing of differing ideas as to how to tackle a given issue

Is that really such a foreign concept??? Is "free speech" really to the point where it's synonymous to "fuck you, you and your kind don't deserve to exist"?

But that's not all! Hard-Core Christian/Catholic/Muslim citizens will start asking the police
to censor things like Science, free sexual orientation, and anything that violates
their beliefs. Of course, they won't listen to them, but just imagine the chaos!
There are legal definitions of hate speech. Gay people don't insult anyone directly by being who they are, and science isn't even the same, it's facts lol.

Science isn't hate speech

Expression of sexuality isn't hate speech unless it's being done to egg someone on

Someone else violating a personal belief does not mean that person's free speech is being violated. Quite the opposite, actually

I've seen people who do consider it hate speech.
I live in Mexico. 90% of it is Christian/Catholic.

Everyone that's in support of this, where does the line get drawn?

When thought crime laws are enacted? When you look at someone funny? When you have a bad day and someone turns you in because you are being rude?

Where does it STOP?

Seriously.... You don't need the government or the police to tell you how to act, what to do, and how to be civil.

Some people are just ***holes.

We ignored them in the past. You can block, ignore, etc. them on social media too. You DON'T have to READ that post, or comment to that annoying wanker.

Why should that be criminalized behavior now? (it's like saying someone who wrote a book or a post should be held liable for what some idiot did in response to that, it's ridiculous)

Be the bigger man and walk away, why is that so hard a concept for people to understand, let the scum be ignorant and wallow in their hatred and self-pity, they aren't worth the time people seem to spend on them.

(Social Media concerns me because people have forgotten their **** filters and how to be civil to one another).

Why are people so easily convinced to piss away their civil liberties so everyone is forced to be nice to everyone all of the time.

That's not a world I want to live in (1984, Minority Report) and I feel sorry for those of you who do. (which I'm shocked with how many people responded in support of something so ludicrous sounding like this). =/

I don't need BIG Brother telling me what to think, what to say, and what to do. If you do you need to rethink things about your life.

'Nuff said.

I feel like you answered your own question

Edit: I guess I should make it clear I was not referring to the "thought police" part, but the "when people learn to use a filter" part

Feels good being able to call someone a faggot online, and not having Scotland yard kick my door in. I am also saving up to buy an revolver, because they look bad ass!
