"Hate speech," huh?

What was it? Rationality?

So true. If they didn't include "hate speech" in their prohibitions, those prohibitions would make sense. The bad thing about prohibiting "hate speech" is that it can be, and is often, interpreted to mean any speech that significantly criticizes any person, religion, or organization that feels offended by the speech. Bans on "hate speech" are actually bans on free speech.
