You see, the truth is that these hate speech laws that are being implemented all over the planet are not just about preventing speech that promotes violence or genocide against a particular group of people. Instead, these laws are written in such a way that anyone that says something that “offends” or “insults” someone else is guilty of “hate speech”. Even if you never intended to offend anyone and you had no idea that your words were insulting, in some countries you can be detained without bail and sentenced to years in prison for such speech. Today, there are highly restrictive hate speech laws in Canada, in Mexico and in virtually every single European nation. The United States is still an exception, but the truth is that our liberties and freedoms are being eroded every single day, and it is only a matter of time until “hate speech laws” are used to take away our freedom of speech too.
If you don’t think that this could ever happen in America, you should consider what the American Bar Association has to say on the matter. This is the national organization that represents all of our lawyers, judges, etc. So when the ABA speaks on legal matters, it carries a significant amount of weight. The following is how the American Bar Association defines “hate speech”…

Wicomico County is just as bad. We had an employee who talked about a draft manual on his own time and computer and the county terminated him. Free speech is under attack by the government.
it is a sad sad time when compliments are considered hate speech. Guess what gays and their actions offend and is an insult to me because it is against the Christian way. When the Blacks use "street lingo" that offends me as an American. When the HIP HOP group wears their pants under the cheeks of their a$$ offends me. So where do I file a lawsuit? Nation of Islam preaches hate all the time. New Black Panthers speak hate speech. So who is the Lawyer to take up these lawsuits?
Freedom of speech means ALL speech. There is no limitation that doesn't go against the First Amendment.
NONE.
Exactly what they did to our confederate flag!
I'm offended by the term "hate speech" so, BAN IT!
I'm offended by mlk so change the streets back and remove all references.

ever hear of slander and libel? only 3 year olds can say whatever they want to, only because they don't know any better.
OMG, 529. Saying something that offends or that others don't like to hear is totally different than saying something in order to do harm. You have missed first base totally.
