Prosecuting that would become the biggest headache that America has ever had. The very implementation of this idea would become politicized, and endlessly argued over by our high price court system. The idea of nuance would have to come into play with regards as to whether a remark was indeed hate speech or not, and and appealled when a bad result happens. Plus, comedians as a whole, are very unconscientous people. That's why they are funny though, with the whole making fun of others and situations. So they probably have more hate speech than the rest of us because they are assholes, and even then, I still support Comedy and freedom. Prosecuting hate speech would bankrupt America and I won't stand for it. I want us to pay for things that matter like schools, parks, highways, social security, etc rather than a salve for someone's hurt feelings. |
Yeah, sounds like a nightmare. Especially in the current climate where everybody is chronically offended and cries hate speech at the drop of a hat. Being a victim is more important than being honest. Recently saw a graph on how many times the words "race", "racism" and "racist" were used in some major news publications in the last 20 years, or so. No surprise that these words usage had exponential growth. Rampant abuse of these laws is absolutely inevitable.
