I wasn't aware that hate was illegal. It is just acting on hate that is.

A few day's after George W. Bush's inauguration, a man came up to the marine on duty at the White House and said "I'd like to see President Clinton. The Marine politely answered "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president". The man said, "Oh, o.k." and walked away.

The next day the marine was again on duty and the same man approached and again asked to see President Clinton. The marine again answered, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president." Again the man answered, "Oh, o.k." and walked away.

The next day the same man approached the same marine and again asked to see President Clinton. The marine, a little annoyed, said "Sir, I've told you, Mr. Clinton is no longer president. Don't you understand that?"

"Yes, I do" said the man, "But I just enjoy hearing it." The marine smiled and said, "See you tomorrow".

I feel that criminals who commit "acts of hatred" against someone because of their race, culture or religion, should suffer additional penalties.
Why just the discriminants you mention? Most murders are hate crimes. How many criminals do you think love their victims?

So-called Hate Crimes legislation is a slippery slope. Blacks are more than 7 times more likely to commit violent crime on whites than vice versa according to U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Current laws seem to cover all the bases, don't you think?
