EU Anti-Hate Laws On The Web
coupco writes "The European Union's Council of Europe passes a measure that would make hate speech on the web illegal, and subject to banning and filtering. A story on Wired News explains the How and Why."

Oh, so the European Union gets to decide what's good for the word? I hate that. Oops...I mean, I respect all humans equally. Even those who try to make decisions that affect people they don't govern over, such as Europeans affecting the way Japanese can access the internet.
Oops!
Yeah, you're right. We'll just sit back and watch those who aren't fortunate enough to be protected by a constitution that guarantees the right to object to the constitution wallow in the shithole they are headed toward.
You just keep sitting over there worrying about the 'arrogance' of Americans while the walls crumble around you. It sure looks like to me you should be more worried about your own house instead of whining about the 'unilateralism' of the US.
OTOH, the EU continues to provide Americans a scary glimpse into what we could become if we aren't careful. Thanks!
Newsflash: New Yorkers are the only ones who think that. Venture in to flyover territory sometime, and you'll learn that people are pretty darn good, and you'll also learn why the rest of the country dislikes parochial New York.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
The same freedom of speech that lets the KKK spread it's evil ideas lets the rest of us oppose them.
One of the more interesting KKK themes is that different races *cannot* get along (as history has allegedly shown). Therefore, they should seperate from each other (different territory) so that we don't have to keep fighting with each other.
That is a legitimate political opinion, even though I don't agree with it. Censoring such an idea would be a outright evil IMO.

Of course not. Please report to the nearest re-education center for a refresher course in political correctness. You appear to have forgotten several of the fundamental rules and are a menace to society.
o Only White Males may exhibit racism, sexism or any other improper thought.
o In case of doubt, for example when a Rap singer sings about "bitches and Ho's" or "killin' whitey" or even "killin' cops", see the above rule.
o All cultures are equally valid and may not be criticized; with the sole exception of "Western style representive governments" which, as all sane people know, are nothing but shams created by dead white guys to oppress the downtrodden. Failure to profess hatred for any product of the Western Mind is therefore defacto evidence of insanity and the person making any such statement may safely be ignored or instituitionalized as needed.
o The supposed "fact" that Marx was a White Male European is a lie by the elite white establishment intended to confuse and deceive.
