Limiting Hate Speech In America Is A Valid Debate

60. My answer remains the same

there is NO FUCKING NEED to change, alter, amend or otherwise screw with the 1st Amendment. I don't care if it's being debated elsewhere, my answer would be the same.
You have just about zero support for your ideas on this topic, your views would be well received in other parts of the world, but not here in the US.
You're talking about criminalizing hate speech and that, in my mind, is a huge non starter.
I abhor the hate speech and the perpetrators of said speech, but I will always defend their RIGHT to say it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
