You mentioned that only Americans felt this way. I've traveled and, I kind of agree - as a generic statement. A very generic statement. (Not even all Americans feel this way and some individuals elsewhere think this way.) My question is, I can't tell what your views are by your post. I tried, and I can't really tell. I can't truly infer them, either. So, do you support this way of thinking? What are your personal views on the freedom of expression? For those not from the area, the ACLU has gone to bat to ensure that people representing the Nazi Party (of America, I think) had the right to march down predominately Jewish neighborhood roads. I don't think it is clear, but I really don't like Nazis. I do, however, like the freedoms to speak, assemble, and believe - I like those more than I dislike Nazis. (This is kind of hard to articulate.)

From my post you can infer that I hate to disagree with it. I have to say I don't like what Nazi's have to say, or even what actual communists say, and what islamists say (although they're mostly being left alone). I wouldn't mind, at all, not hearing about it. That said, I see how it's being used. And I was fine with that actually, until I really saw for myself it's being used to mask a lot of human misery in western Europe. And why ? Only reason I can come up with is political reasons, politicians attempting to "prove" that they're doing (a lot) better than they actually are. As in I would be fine with censorship of some extremist viewpoints, by responsible parties. Unfortunately if you cannot trust things like West European governments with this power, who can you trust to censor ? So no, I am very much against almost any censorship. It is not reasonable the way it's being used and we shouldn't have it. This opinion is not widely shared in Western Europe.
