Free speech.

[Scubbo]

hate speech is just a tool for censorship... words havent harmed anyone --- they're just vibrations from your vocal cords passed through your mouth afterall ---- when a person goes and then phsycailly assaults someone then yes that should be illegal, not the talking smack part........................

What about the person standing upon a palpit commanding people to go and Physically Assault people?

[Scubbo]

people have the freedom not to do as he says.... its when he gives them no ultimatum... usually through dictatorial force, that it needs to be dealt with --- but then again, is that not what the government / law enforcement do now? -- which brings me back to, the government IS trying to reduce your freedom of speech to have more control over you.

So this is quite interesting (at least to me) I can think of a few instances where the persuasion to commit violence has come without (or before) dictatorial force.

but to put that aside for a minute:

What is your thoughts on the classic limitation on Free Speech of yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre?

(government and tyranny aside)

What about people ordering other to do things is that just vibrations as well.
Words don't harm anyone really? So psychological damage is just a theory then?
How well do you think you would you have turned out if daily you were the subject of constant verbal abuse.
Hate speech is a tool of oppression.

don't confuse "free speech" and "hate speech" there champ. Hint: one is OK, one is not.

And one is a good idea the other is a stupid leftist idea, hence why all the Marxists like the human rights commission is calling for more speech controlling powers, which is pretty much why this current debate is in the public sphere.

"Hate speech" was implemented by the soviets, seen as they were the one's that liberated the jews from forced labour camps like Auschwitz and come up with or went along holocaust narrative.

FYI, the people of Germany were completely unaware that the alleged "Holocaust" was going on.

And in the same manner, the term 'conspiracy theorist' is thrown around as nothing more than a pathetic attempt to win an argument by ridicule.

I'm not aware of the holocaust denier situation. I've seen reference to it but must have missed the origins.

The term conspiracy theorist is not always "thrown around". More than once I've posted the list of symptoms common to conspiracy theorists. I'd assume, perhaps wrongly, that you didn't read it. You should, it will be like looking in a mirror.

If somebody is exhibiting a number of the behaviours listed they should expect to get called on it.
