@MsMelChen The definition of the word "holocaust" is not exclusive to Jews and what happened in WW2... and using the word to frame other mass killings throughout history does not take away from what happened to Jews...
@DanielAndrewsMP Cue the unnecessary deaths of thousands of birds. You think you can govern the birds with a what did you call it... flyway? Laughable. But hey, small price to pay for shitty, unreliable energy right Dan?
@9NewsAUS The Greens are just after the impressionable uni kids vote, scaring them with climate change propaganda, to cement their place in parliament. Deplorable. Should be raised to 21 so young minds can be mature enough and almost fully developed to make voting decisions.
@jordanbpeterson We loved having you @jordanbpeterson. Please come back again, it was nice to be in a room of like minded people for once, in a country where thoughtful debate or just meaningful thought is seldom seen, much less heard outside a close group of family or friends. Thank you β€
@xXKB_DivineXx @daz_black Hate speech is saying mean and nasty things. That's it. It might be wrong by most people's standards, and not by others. For that exact reason you can't define it or legislate it. Simple as that.
@xXKB_DivineXx @daz_black The isms and phobias can be subjective to a point. Hate crime legislation does exist but it is very clear what this includes. As such, you can't conflate hate speech with them
@xXKB_DivineXx @daz_black You can be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc and still be free to say those things. Most reasonable people know it's wrong, but they still have a right to have those opinions. And the only way to either change their minds or discredit their position is through debate
@angiemichele_13 In the US? Absolutely not. Find me the ruling.
In UK, Canada and Australia? Yes people have been imprisoned for their opinions, it's appalling and shouldn't happen.
@xXKB_DivineXx @daz_black Well of course but welcome to the real world. There will always be people with hateful opinions. But it's subjective. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't give you the right to take away their right to say it. What you consider hateful might not be so to someone else
