I guess where I get stuck is the idea that people value the ability to say whatever you want about another group. It's baffling in that I find hate groups vilifying other groups as incredibly socially harmful but your culture is alright with allowing them to parade or whatever 0-0 c

Can't get over that *scratches head and side eyes a little*

Because right now ours is the majority opinion. Right now we have to allow groups to say what we think is stupid or disgusting because, on the off chance that one day the tables turn and our opinion becomes the minority, we would also want the ability to march down the street and tell them what we think. Replace Neo-Nazis in this with LGBT groups. It was an accepted behavior in Ancient Greece, has become something widely outlawed since, and is now being fought over. Tides change, and we have to respect that, both majority and minority. Having the majority opinion doesn't give us the right to quash the rights and opinions of the minority. Can it be sickening? Sure. But there is always that someday that they could say the same about us.

But this isn't about preventing someone from doing something offensive, it's about preventing prejudice and racial violence. Even if the mainstream found gays to be disgusting, they would be protected by anti hate-speech laws. Anti hate-speech laws are entirely ABOUT protecting minorities.

If Fox News were in Canada, they'd be shit down in a week over hate-speech violations. You don't think that has an effect on the populace? If the government says "this kind of racism is not okay" then it changes how the populace thinks. America letting, say, Anne Coulter go on and on with her hateful views can be construed as a kind of approval. Canada doesn't put up with that shit.

I find it so ironic that Americans put up with so many violations to privacy and such in the name of national security, but they get up in arms about this one little "freedom". In America, you can stage a KKK march but if you quietly run a mosque you're going to get spied on by the government. Land of the free, indeed.
