Thread Name: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Subject: RE: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Some examples of "hate" speech
"Some guy playing the flute on another man is not happy, it's sick. Some guy dealing with another man's piles isn't happy, it's revolting"
"There are, unfortunately, many places on the internet where one can indulge one's personal bigotry with the full approval of like-minded scum. At least while such haters are spewing in their corners, they aren't out inflicting themselves on people face to face."
From the beginning of the "Same sex" thread, I have been subjected to "hate" speech for trying to discuss the rights of minorities. No attacks on homosexuals, no wish to deprive them of their civil rights, just a discussion about rights from the viewpoint of one section of society. Why don't you all take Joe's advice and calm down, put forward your argument rationally and try to remember we are all bigotted about something or other. No one is perfect....Ake
