I might as well get some of your guys opinions, if I truely want my paper to be adverse enough to tell both sides of the story.

 

Basically, what part of Speech should "Freedom of Speech" entitle us to?

 

Basically, what would be classified as bad language, and what would be classified as within the context of the law?

 

When I say bad language I mean like, "you dirty jew" stuff like that.

 

Now, right now, people are argueing over the fact that if the Speech specifically targets one person and or puts someone in physical danger, then it is against the law.

But, if it doesn't target just one person, but a whole group, then its fine.

 

Now, I partially agree with these two statements, but only on the side that physical danger would only bring uprise to riots.

And, on the side that each group of people need to be told what they're doing wrong, so they can see how they can change for the better.

I just don't see why people get so upset over words. It's their problem that they take insultive remarks way too personlly.

 

I believe that is called "emotion".

 

Your right people do have their own right to say whatever they please.

And if someone is hurt by it, then they need to go back to sucking on their binky.

Hitler started the Holocaust because a Jewish person bought a house he wanted.

 

I think he'll get pissy no matter what you say to him.

 

Hitler Started The Holocaust Because He Was Showing People All Over Europe, And The World That He Had The Power To Do Anything And Everything That Was Possible At That Time, If He Started It Because Some Jewish Person Bought A House He Wanted Im Sure He Could Have Easily Had That Jewish Person Shot And The House Tooken For Himself Instead In Having A Hissy-Fit And Do One Of The Most Devistating Acts In History.

Stop Talking Like This. Seriously.

 

Otherwise, in response to the topic that was brought up, it's because people have had some words ingrown some words into their brains, and have associated them with emotions, both positive and negative.

There's a balance to be struck.

 

I think that people have the right to believe what they want, and to express their views to others. It's wrong to illegalize the KKK or prevent them from being heard. (Although we can prevent them from committing violent acts.)

 

However, there is such a thing as a reasonable restriction on Free Speech. For example, it is illegal to call fire in a theatre, due to the riotous behavior that can ensue.I think this can be linked to hate speech. Perhaps it is a violation of the rights of the individual when taken too far. If most kids in a school take every chance they can get to make fun of a black person who attends that school, they are restricting that person's right to the Pursuit of Happiness. Obviously, the black person can technically move to a different school, but I think that there comes a point where it isn't unreasonable for the government to set down certain regulations on the extent to which Hate Speech can go.

 

Of course, I strongly believe in people's right to express their beliefs, regardless of the ridiculousness of the beliefs that they hold. If any government restriction became strong enough to keep a white person from making it explicitly clear that he thinks blacks aren't human, it's too much. If any restriction prevents the white person from trying to change the law to make slavery legal again, it's too much.

Everyone can have their own opinion's, but if you just kept them to yourself the world would be a better place.

I made a stupid remark to one of my mexican friends yesterday asking if his parents spoke good english?

Such a funny and nice kid and he calls me a racist.

I talked to him the next day and apoligized.

Rasizm can hurt even the toughest of people.
