    A few points:
    1: Hate speech is a term that didn't exist until the easily offended decided there needed to be a term for them being offended by what someone says.
    2: when I made that comment there had been nothing said that could even remotely be defined as hate speech.
    3. Not everyone that says something negative about a race or culture is a xenophobic racist. Sometimes it's just factual, sometimes it's opinion and sometimes it's just an ####### being an #######.

    Using the term "hate speech" itself regarding something I say or anyone else says is assault, by definition. Someone using the term "hate speech" about what I vocalize, is in fact that individual's telegraphing of their intent to arrest my ability to continue to vocalize. That's not a threat, that's assault.

    1. Hate speech is a term that didn't exist until a couple decades after we got rid of legal dueling. Personally, I suspect that this is at least in part because people tend to be a little more careful about what they say when the target of their speech has the legal right to call them out publicly and shoot them dead for the insult.

    2. Look again. I'm not calling out anyone else. The mods can handle it, or not.

    3. We were having a discussion about cab crappers. Then the thread got yanked off topic into a Muslim-bashing extravaganza for a couple pages. If someone feels the need to derail a topic about cab crappers so they can hate on Muslims, it's more than just an opinion. We have forums for this, I hear. I prefer to discuss politics on Reddit or TheDonald.win.

    Muslims and cab crapping go in the same topic, they met up in normal stinky conversation like folly and extinction

    2 or 3 snide comments do not equal a couple pages of Muslim bashing extravaganza.

    Edit to add: what is today defined as hate speech had been around since the dawn of time. Dueling was outlawed in every state by the early 20th century. I did a quick search for when the term was first used but couldn't find anything concrete.

    Two different things: religious freedom and existence of a supernatural being. Anyone should be free to practice their religion as long as it’s within the laws.

    If you are free to bash bible thumpers, and you do, why are you taking offense to these since you don’t have a dog in this fight? I guess it’s what you guys mean by T.O.L.E.R.A.T.E. It works for you as long as everyone else but you does it.

    “But Six, you missed the part about religious freedom.”

    Remember that point the next time bible thumpers want to have a discussion about their beliefs. You are entitled to your beliefs as they are entitled to theirs.
