28. that would seem to fit the law of the accursed Dutch, for one
"He who publicly, orally, in writing or graphically, intentionally expresses himself insultingly regarding a group of people because of their race, their religion or their life philosophy, their heterosexual or homosexual orientation or their physical, psychological or mental disability, shall be punished by imprisonment of no more than a year or a monetary penalty of the third ..."

If "conservatism" is a life philosophy, then people cannot legally say anything insulting about conservatism. Insulting may not be the best way to communicate, but sometimes "the truth" is insulting if people say what they really feel about the ridiculous beliefs of other people, like the people who committed suicide so they could be transported onto the alien ship that was flying behind the Hale-Bopp comet, or members of a Flat Earth society, or those who go around putting things on top of other things. Clearly, a bunch of frigging loons, if I can say so from my hotel in Amsterdam.

Excuse me, somebody is knocking loudly at the door. Somebody's ringing the bell.
