We shouldn't be afraid to openly debate bigots. By bringing their ugly perspective out into the light, you can do much more to dissuade people against those beliefs. |
Well said. I'm pretty optimistic, I don't think anyone here can support these laws, but I'm amazed they were put in place.
With hate crime laws, the PC loonies who support this kind of fascism have their foot in the door in the U.S. Calling someone a fag, kike, or nigger while you beat them up is a hate crime. Next step, you won't have to beat them up, just saying the words or typing them on the internet will be a hate crime.
