To what degree is anti-discrimination speech law enforced, and to what degree do you agree with it? If someone sets up a discriminatory website, for example sandnigger.nl which contains material which Arabs living in the netherlands would find offensive, would your government shut it down? How about a public gathering of religious types, talking about how homosexuality is an abomination? Would they be dispersed with tear-gas?
I firmly believe that for every wacko extremist nutcase that free speech law protects, there are hundreds of every-day individuals who benefit. I'm willing to have to suffer through the painful emotional torment (
) of walking past a gathering of Rev. Phelps's, in order to guarantee the fact that tomorrow I can gather there to rally for conceal/carry law, or what have you.
