I agree - which is why i think it should strictly be regimented to inciting illegal action or hatred towards a targeted group and not just calling people "fag" or "nigger" on the street. By the original definition, hate speech cannot be intended for the minority it seeks to oppress because it...

I think you miss the point. Inciting illegal action against a group makes you an accessory to the crime. Hate speech punishes the accessories for the actions of the criminal. It's about dehumanizing people and creating violent division - and i emphasize violent. The example I gave is...

Inciting criminal activity is not the same as telling people to commit it. If i convince you the jews are evil, and you perpetuate violence against jewish people, we are both complicit because I had used hate speech.

Hate Speech is actually just inciting people to do those things. not using words devoid of context, but using words for the sole expressed purpose of inciting those kinds of acts.

Hate speech laws are preventative measures, which is why I would confine it to inciting illegal actions against groups of people. It is effectively meant to stifle people like the klan and to avoid the emergence of another Hitler type. In that sense I think they should be in place. But as for...

Hello - my name is William. I make videos on YouTube mostly dealing with (in no particular order): MUSIC: LGBT RIGHTS: MY OWN ODD SENSE OF HUMOR: STRANGER THAN FICTION EVENTS: DEFEATING RELIGIOUS ARGUMENTS: MAKING MOCKERY OF PEOPLE DESERVING: MY BAND: MY FRIENDS: or...

IN THIS VIDEO I DESCRIBE HATE SPEECH: I think Hate Speech should be limited to inciting illegal actions against a targeted group. How do you feel about Hate Speech laws?

The direct effect on the offspring is subjective association still imo - but I'd explain it further with relation to the parents via the eye colour of the parents as indicators as well. If your mum has green eyes, you would associate green eyes with a nurturing instinct, etc.

I don't argue in that manner. I agree with your assertion about the communist safety net. My argument is that Capitalism isn't morally anything - it does what serves the company best... and so long as the company is at the mercy of the consumer, it will develop an ethical standard of business...

Behold, Socialism ftw. :D

Depends on what you mean by "successfully" considering the global market and opinion of the AFA on a global scale. Pepsi is actually doing better since the AFA boycott - same with Apple Inc. last I checked - so their "boycotts" actually sent business their way. They are less creating an...

I'm not assuming there are no liars, but accepting this and acknowledging that lies often get uncovered makes liars a moot issue. The company that lies about these things can be successful, yes - but it will last only as long as the lie does. And the more notoriety your company gets - the...

Last I heard, GE in France is fucking awesome. And Enron died. But you're giving examples of cooperate entities with government interference - antithetical to the system I described. If they weren't being helped by the government, all these companies would have been dead in the water. That's...

A free-market is that which exists without government regulations or aid. Corporatism and capitalism in regards to the free market are not even remotely related, so lets try sticking with a capitalist society. Saying that ethics do not govern the way people do business is remarkably naive...

Saying Capitalism only cares about profitability is like saying Evolution only cares about reproductive ability and quantity. While you are correct in that statement, you are never going to be able to assert a moral claim on it for more than just the standard reasons of morality being...

Hey, fuck you. I'm a cocksucker! Don't associate me with that asshole! :P

This is a good point, but an incomplete one and from a perspective outside the context of the reply I was giving. The topic isn't how eye colour evolves, but the role it plays in our evolution. I addressed that it's polygenic earlier which means that it won't have a direct impact on the next...

PREFACE: I am not a biologist, I am an amateur philosopher. This is nothing more than my speculation on the issue, but I feel I made a good case. If there is anything factually incorrect about this, I encourage you to please point it out and demonstrate it to me so I can be all the wiser. I...

This is based on a true event where the DRM algorithms on YouTube's servers actually took down a video of mine because I used a song I had published under a friend's small record label - which technically I'm still the VP for.
