    It seems we have several types of speech we might like to limit, hate, corrupting, and outright lie. The latter two bother me most, and hate speech to the degree that it does not result in violence provides me with useful information. It's always best to know your enemies.

    When will those who believe in supernatural beings, God for example, learn that Atheists don't hate a God, they simply don't believe that any exist. Disbelief is not a form of hate.

    You're just supporting my argument there, though slightly less eloquently put.

    Great rebuttal for your argument, i.e. "this shouldn't be allowed because I don't like what is being said"

    As you construct your censorship net, you might want to be very careful how wide you cast it. I've gone through some of your previous posts and you can be a bit hateful, insulting and demeaning to others yourself.

    In the case of any person whose judgment is really deserving of confidence, how has it become so? Because he has kept his mind open to criticism of his opinions and conduct. Because it has been his practice to listen to all that could be said against him; to profit by as much of it as was just, and expound to himself, and upon occasion to others, the fallacy of what was fallacious. Because he has felt, that the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.

    Since this is a land that was formed as a government of the people, for the people and by the people and whereas one of the guarantees of a free society is that you extend to all individuals the rights you want to possess, then you must allows those who you do not agree with to exercise theirs. That is what freedom is about.

    Looking at the poll results, and considering the leaning of the majority of participants here, it should be obvious that the democratically obtained answer to the poll question is a resounding "Yes" the KKK does have a right to free speech.

    As much as I don't like what they have to say, yes they do.

    KKK...as in Ku Klux Klan? well...yeah lol everyone has the right to freedom of speech. what they dont have the right to do is decide that somebody is better than somebody else and the physically assault or kill them because of it...

    not that any of that matters if thats not what we were talking about >.<

    Let them have their free speech. The more they talk the worse they look.
