How is your life any harder to live because the parent comment was made? How has any positive human quality you innately have been refuted by the comment?
There is a clear definition of hate speech. It's not as amorphous as you need it to be in order to protect your ego.
- gravy 8y agoIs there a clear definition? Who gets to define it? Who gets to choose what definition we use?
- snackbugs 8y agoThere is. Many people use it. Have you ever gone out of your way to examine it? Or do you just infer it based on your internal beliefs and limited experiences?
- gravy 8y agoThere's no need to assume that anyone that questions it hasn't had experiences regarding it. Just the fact that there exists in your response any implication that a lack of experience may change someone's definition of "hate speech" makes it amorphous. There may be a definition, but it being "clear" is questionable. Obviously the answer is to leave it to the courts, but then you have to consider the definitions of "attack" or "intimidate" or "discomfort" and if any amount of these is "violence" and to what extent is it punishable. So I still don't think it's "clear".
- snackbugs 8y agoIn order to make your points, you keep skating over the first principle: there is a clear definition.
