I've come to the conclusion that "hate speech" is any speech, in any
form, that somebody somewhere hates. As such, it's too subjective a
term to be used in any legal or contractual proceeding and should be abolished.

You point out that things like "Those people are all animals" and "Those people do not deserve to live" and they instantly accuse you of hating them.

This is actually the very definition of something that was explained to me a few years back. The Politics of fear, somewhere someplace, there is a group of people, not lead by lizard people, who are running things behind the scenes. I know this

My take on it is, if a song "offends" you, write a song that's a counter-argument. Enough such songs and you'll have a classic Bardic Duel, which is great fun for the audience.

second, Cabbagetown by Hugh Garner was full of fairly explicit sex. but it wasn't on any lists. Nor were, Death In Don Mills (Necrophila) also by Hugh Garner, and The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler Lots and lots of Language.

Censorship is not the same as recognizing that some words are hate speech. Not in Canada any way, The man who I would love to see as out next Prime Minister is a Sikh. He has death threats shouted at him om the street, not long ago he was removed fromparliment because he refused to apologize to a member of another party for something he said. Given that other members had said worse things well, life gets complicated. The thing is Mr Singh refuses to bow, and he refuses to prosecute. He remains for
Canadian politics are much cleaner than that of the States. Your politics are broken.
I agree about censorship. Especially when the censor is working with little knowlege, which
most of the time they are, our Hate Speech laws are not the same. They are things like, not
allowing holocaust deniers to speak and spread lies. Since the Holocaust happened.
Out lawing the bombing of abortion clinics and the homes of abortion providors. by making
this a hate crime extra time in jail is added. Our abortion laws are clear. Abortion is leagal.
If you don't like that, don't get an abortion. Those are the only two things I can remember right now.

Here in Canada we still try and care about people.
