    Just to be clear.....I was using the holocaust as an example only because someone used it before me.

    It is the best example of the bullshit of "freedom of speech" in many countries though.

    I don't think there should be any sentencing for hate words.....no......free speech, and I cherish that freedom for all.....but words can hurt people.....they really can.....but they say it is not what happens to you in life, but what you do with it that matters.....so if someone makes you feel badly about something with words, move to another spot......or something....and if they keep following you around with it....let them have it back or leave forever.

    I don't deny the holocaust. The numbers.. I don't really have an opinion on. There's more than enough evidence to prove people were being killed and cremated, we've all seen the footage.. I've been to these places, I've stood in them, I've been terrified by them.

    Tolerance is bad. There is only the terrorism for Russians to trust when they may hope the armies settle this land grabbing stuff in the East Ukraine.

    Being informed well by the propaganda, OR believing human nature is good for people to think that communication was better selective. Putin's idiots?

    What do you think? Roamy. Saying Putin's idiots by itself is hate speech. The Idiot, by Dostoyevsky.

    From my experience, most people would much more likely to look for information that confirms their own world view rather than information that risks disturbing it. Even if that information is so well-documented and mainstream that the alternative is so rare. The reason it's so maligned though, is the ease of forgetting lessons which should absolutely never be forgotten.

    The Germans, Russians and Americans all did terrible things during war. It doesn't say anything about those nationalities today, and actually, very little back then. More about the Banality of Evil, how common it is for normal people to do horrible things when it is presented as the norm.

    Yes the Germans kept meticulous records but who in this day & age is going to stand up and proclaim that it was only 1.5-2 million Jews, not the purported 6 million as we've been led to believe :eek:

    people should be able to say whatever awful shit they'd like. What they shouldn't be allowed to do is act on those sentiments.

    as if the exact count matters? torturing to death a group of people simply because you declare them inferior to your group is wrong.

    Free will. If one is free to speak of peace shouldn't one be able to speak of hate? Of course speaking and acting on it are two different things.

    Free will. Offers beauty and evil

    Some seriously fucked up shit being written in some parts of this thread.

    Personally, I think places like Germany and its cronies should have been turned into a total nuclear wasteground, rather than lose a single Soviet/Allied troop. We'd certainly be seeing a benefit today..

    I have a deal with some people. \They can say whatever they want to me.
    And in kind, I can kick their fucking heads in...

    :rolleyes:
