Or elected to public office as a Democrat. <cue rimshot> is (not) worth noting that in a poll conducted by nobody reputable, fully 1/2 of american democrats would support a limit on hate speech. democrats. *snort* in any event, we will observe that our most frequent disappointment regarding free speech is not that bigots and lunatics get to spew hate freely but rather that most americans do not use their speech rights to respond to the villains. americans, while less passive than most, is far too willing to stand idly by while their fellow human beings is tormented by evil men. there ain't no active duty to respond to hate, but surely there is a moral obligation to do so. we all too often see americans fail to live up to such obligations. we wait for a pundits to gather in a climate-controlled tv studio, miles and days removed from any actual bigotry and hate, to calmly debate the the issues facing american society. three minutes o' quasi-scripted dialectic ensues before the inevitable commercial break. are your clothes as clean as they can be? matthew mcconaughey drives a lincoln, and so should you. sitting at home, having watched the battle o' tin knights with paper swords, we cheer democracy and free speech and america. hurrah. HA! Good Fun! You see Gromnir you are in a very fortunate position to be able to intellectualize hate speech so you defend its usage even though you don't like it I live in a country where we haven't got to that point yet and people are very much effected by words . So we ban hate speech and certain words and its makes perfect sense The truth is certain words do matter and truly hurt some people in a palpable and psychological way. So why allow them? ban hate speech does not stop hate. it is our belief that banning hate speech has a tendency to increase hate. regardless, ban hate speech does not in any way solve the larger problems that created the hate. open and vigorous debate at least has the possibility o' curing problems. also, what if the folks spewing hate is right? what if we label folks and history proves that they were correct. hell, maybe they is wrong, but if they can't speak because their message offends, how much speech is chilled? is not many decades past that american blacks marching and protesting were considered disruptive. why can't the homosexuals just use their votes to bring about change instead o' their silly parades? those folks who disagree with US foreign policy is clearly communists and we need to shut-em up and blacklist 'em and whatnot. HA! Good Fun! You right, banning hate speech doesn't stop hate speech. is not what we said. ban hate speech does not stop hate. you limit expression and you cause the hate to seethe and fester. you can't fight hate by gaging bigots. all you are doing is creating a generation o' bigots who not only hate blacks or homosexuals or whomever, but they also hate and distrust the government for limiting their ability to express themselves. folks with nothing in common save for the fact that the government is silencing them is gonna become unnatural allies. you are exacerbating problems and instead o' dealing with those problems out in the open, you is gonna eventual need find 'em, dig 'em out and... what? the positives o' silencing bigots is obvious and it actual does resonate in most o' the world. in most democracies, as between an individual's right to speak and the competing right o' folks to be free o' the vile epithet, the world chooses to side with the victim rather than the bigot. that is the obvious choice. we think it is the wrong choice.

HA! Good Fun! But your view is shaped on your views of the USA and you right in the USA you have generations of systemic bigots. Also the USA has to deal with a different type of bigot IMO But we have an alternative view, people stop using certain words in public because society just doesn't accept it and since Apartheid ended I can honestly say most people just know not to say these words. That's a victory for me, I don't care if people pretend not to be bigots and I don't know if there bigotry festers...I just know we have less hate speech "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gromnir Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 as an aside, Gromnir is not claiming that the USA is or has always been perfect regarding free speech. we gave examples above, yes? http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/elia-kazan/about-elia-kazan/642/ where we screw up, where we stumble and lose our way, is when we allow fear to replace what we should know is right and just. the First Amendment is an ideal, and we so often do not live up to the ideal. we keep falling and failing. we can and should do better.

HA! Good Fun! Sure, I know you aren't saying its perfect but you believe in the principle In fact I would argue its your unshakable belief in the sanctity of the First Amendment that unintentionally adds to the festering bigotry and hate speech that pops up in America and " "suddenly people and the media are amazed it still exists " and we are subjected to days of analysis on CNN with people making these platitudes and of course sincere points And then civil society thinks that the Confederate flags should get removed and amongst fanfare and more media attention we see the flag getting removed and everyone pats themselves on the backs and the media proudly says " we have struck a blow to racism and bigotry" . Yet Gromnir still wakes up the next day and goes to work still resenting white people and possibly even more now because of there pointless efforts and grandstanding Yet I doubt it all this effort makes any difference to the core principle of stopping bigotry but sometimes people need to feel good about something after a tragedy?

Gromnir Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) hate speech is not a social ill that needs correction. hate is the social problem. suppress hate speech exacerbates the problem. worse, the majority has a tendency to label. that which is unpopular or offensive should be suppressed for the greater good. is extreme few folks who support the yutz who burns a koran to protest islam or dress up in white hoods to rail against miscegenation. a couple decades ago it would be hard to find folks who would support communists or gays. go back further and we find support for minorities to be equal unpopular. the only speech that needs a constitutionally protected right is speech that offends. in a democracy, free speech is a limit on The People. "Congress shall make no law..." a right to free speech that does not protect the offending speaker is... pointless. this should be axiomatic. HA! Good Fun! ps a muslim-american's defense o' hate speech http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/04/muslims-defend-pam-geller-s-right-to-hate.html and for those anglophiles "First, if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility. "Secondly, though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied. "Thirdly, even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of its rational grounds." --John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859 Edited July 9, 2015 by Gromnir 4 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

In any public forum, your freedom of speech would be protected. If companies want privacy and censored discussion, then they would have to make the forum private and only viewable by those who sacrifice their rights. The way it is right now, a company like Bioware can choose to remove posts that don't fit their agenda, essentially making their forum appear one sided. That is wrong IMO.
