<< Hate crimes are an issue to some but not sufficient to sacrifice freedom of speech and thought. >> I agree. I would never want to see government restrict our freedom of speech, or the freedom of the press. << Maybe I'd consider destroying the Buddhas by the Talibans a hate crime of sorts. >> It's more an act by sub humans retards, who have no respect for the historical culture of their nation or the world. << There is room to wiggle when an institution propagates hate, rather than an individual. >> When the government is in a position to propagate hate, such as was the case in Germany before WW II, and as with the Palestines, the Middle East, Cuba, North Korea, etc. today, it doesn't matter what laws you have on the books, the government will ignore them or get rid of them.
