Words are not actions. Even if you are linguist and coders, you must realize that the code is not the execution.

  Humans aren't computers. Words and actions are not always distinct. Indeed, they mostly aren't distinct. If words didn't have an effect on the world, we wouldn't have evolved language.

    Sorry, i violently reject your opinion. I found it to be the source of some of the utmost terror in totalitatiran regimes, where "Words" are equal to "Traitorous actions" and thus punnished. And i found that behind this kind of thought, usually a anti-democratic yearning for a opion dictatorship lurks. Still, violently rejecting does not include preventing you from uttering it.

      My opinion is one that is also shared by American law. There are many crimes of speech. E.g., fraud, conspiracy to commit murder, and harassment. But sure, anonymous coward. You can read my mind, and it's just what you always hated! Funny coincidence, there.
