Can we all agree that advocating the death of ANY group of Americans should be illegal? |
|
There seems to be a group of posters here that say that prohibiting this type of speech opens the floodgates to an evisceration of the First Amendment.
And yet, there are "community standards" for pornography and obscenity.
Seems to me that advocating murder is a tad more obscene than the famous Seven Words.

2. advocating the death of ANY group of humans should be illegal |
|
in my belief.
We are no better than Nazi's if we advocate for the murder of killing of any 'group' of human beings.

4. I agree. But if we can't even restrict the advocacy of the murder of our fellow citizens... |
|
we have a way to go before Congress will prohibit deaths calls for our "enemies".

3. I think you can drop the "group of" and your statement would still be true. n/t |
