er, don't take that the wrong way. Obviously there is something wrong with inducing hatred on the level of the individual, in a moralistic sense. I'm speaking in terms of legality.

In the US we have a long held understanding that my right to flail my arms ends where your nose begins.
Do you think your right to speak hateful language should end at my ears?
Put another way: I have a right not to be punched in the nose by you, notwithstanding your right to flail your arms whereever you please.
Do you think I should have a right not to hear hateful speech about my lifestyle or person notwithstanding your right to speak?
