No, the reason we have laws is that people who have power dislike something. Weimar Germany outlawing hate speech and banning the Nazi Party itself didn't prevent anything because, crazily enough, a law against saying something doesn't prevent people from actually saying it. All it does is enable the government to (selectively, as always) persecute certain people and make some bad people into sympathetic figures.

Okay. Have a nice day.

I think this kind of resentment built because (in this case) badge was rough with you is where the real solution needs to come in place. Walls need to be torn down, every day imho.

I personally really liked debating respectfully and civilly with you even if I disagreed with you, so keep it up.

Again, we need to break down the walls, and embrace the opinions of others in order to allow the better ideas to naturally bubble up. If we build walls, that process is stiffled.

No. This kind of resentment was built because he didn't properly read what I said, and then he implied that I'm pro-slavery. So I'm done with him.
