I do not appreciate many kinds of speech as well, especially hate and stupidity, but this is not the point. The point is: would you want to suppress hate speech? And if not, Is it really something to occupy oneself with, to respond to? Needless to say, I would not talk about any of this with our German minister, for instance. We are comrades here :) Yes, good. I do not appreciate many kinds of speech as well, especially hate and stupidity, but this is not the point. The point is: would you want to suppress hate speech?

Rather, how do you think speech should be regulated, if at all?" It's simple... Once it crosses into hate speech, which is what those cartoons are all about (enforcing stereotypes about a race, ethnicity or a group of people who are already eating shit in the continent) then that's outright racism.. especially when they come from an asshole publication known for its ant-immigrants stance.. And as a secularist I'll denounce them, as I denounce any cartoon I come across in the Arab press that demonize jews or denies the holocaust... “I am not really interested in what they have to say or think.

Granted. I am not really interested in what they have to say or think. Rather, how do you think speech should be regulated, if at all?
