  • Mahmadinejad never denied the holocaust, just questioned why 6 million jewish lives were more important than the other 34 million that died in WWII. People should be allowed free speech. And I should be allowed to brawl with them if they say something I don't like

  • some big questions there, cannot be answered in 500 spaces

  • my grandpernts were killed in thair how much does that sound offensive to you?

    to the pit of my stometch and my grandparents were such good persons so i been told cuz i never met them thay killed them remmembr?

    i just dont give a fuck about al of your dienyers

    you killed my nana nazi fuckers

  • As a Brit where all the examples would probably end up with public order charge, I find the USA's obsession with every repugnant person have their say a bit odd.

  • @angrywhenroused Free speech is practically dead in the water in the UK. I'd rather let everyone have their say so people make up their minds whether to listen, than run the risk of a silent majority getting cowed into accepting the dictates of an unscrupulous minority. Political correctness run amok is leading to the gradual Islamization of Europe.

  • @eier I disagree with you totally. The Islamisation argument is a crutch of the bigot.

    Demonising muslims just shoves them into extremism

  • @angrywhenroused ...As opposed to appeasing them, which just shoves them into places of power. I prefer the fringe extremist to the officially appointed one.

  • @angrywhenroused I hate the Westboro Baptist Church as much as the next person, but it would make a martyr out of them to shut them up or even censor them. They LOVE the attention; good or bad press--it doesn't matter to them; and if they got shut down by the government, they'd get to play victim.

  • At this point of time in society we seem to truly be breaking down what is "known" and asking how do we know? Researching deep into something (like humanities past) and loosing all preconceived notions to acquire a groundwork understanding on what is truth. Because of this free speech is a must for the expansion of humanities understanding. Accept all possibles.

  • If anything should be exempt from free-speech it should be creationism/ intelligent design. This is damaging kids in their intellectual development!

  • FREE SPEECH, even for the stupid, 'cause this is America bi-otch.

  • The only opinion I would consider censoring are those that call for violence or the elimination of a group of people for whatever reason. I think that goes beyond free speech and becomes a violent rhetoric.

  • Free speech is immensely entertaining most of the time. There are groups like the Westboro Baptist church who set my teeth on edge, but they have a right to speech. Thankfully, the speeches from such extreme groups usually alienates most everybody else from concepts of bigotry and intolerance.

  • These groups are so offensive nobody should listen to them and they should not have the right to speak! How do you know then if you did not listen to them? Let me listen to them and decide for myself. It ridiculous. Person 1: I question the past and research it. Person 2: Oh cool like when? P1: The Vietnam War. P2: Interesting. P1: And the industrial revolution. P2: Cool. P1: And the renaissance. P2: Nice P1: And the holocaust. P2: Holocaust denier! Idiot! Crazy kook! Anti-semite!
  • I'm pretty sure the entire point of free speech is that offensive speech is protected. If you only protect speech that is not offensive, you do not have free speech. The entire point of free speech isn't that we benefit from crazies spouting nonsense, it's that if you do not have it, whoever is in power can decide anything they do not like to hear is offensive and fallacious, and we cannot say anything about it!

  • I don't think anyone should be censored under any circumstances, they have a right to their opinion, I do not have to accept it. I can become or will become just as vocal in opposition to their statement if i believe it is wrong. But to consider all points or perspective of an argument does change the nuances of the issue. Free speech insures that all perspectives or opinions are allowed to be considered to the issue.

  • @Dragon46112

    Amen.

  • don't like will quickly justify other things and they're not always going to be the things you agree with and may be very damaging to your life just like everybody else. We either learn how to deal with the opinions of others and all get these types of freedoms or we shoot ourselves in the collective foot by asking the state to legislate and enforce, at gunpoint, morality... actually "personal preferences in many cases.

    I'd like to add that the subjects you've recommended to have government an

  • @nutcase71733 Firstly, the freedom of speech is a protected right exactly because it protects the type of speech that could be deemed to fall under any of those subjects you mentioned and any other subject a majority of people would be likely to vote on banning it. It's function is to not slow such a thing to occur. Speech that everyone agrees on doesn't need to be protected. So what you're truly advocating by seeking a precedent of restricting the freedom of speech concerning some things YOU d

  • If any persons right to speak freely can simply be removed because of popular vote then no person truly has free speech just the right to be a sheep following a herd

  • great video as usual 

  • Racist statements are examples of speech that should not be protected, as well as conspiracy nonsense. The two usually go hand-in-hand along with religious fundamentalism and anti-science speak.

  • @NUTCASE71733

    Interesting you should say "anti-science" while meaning "anti-what contemporary-scientists-say"

    There is no more anti-scientific view than a command theory of truth.

    You are scum.

  • I think there's a group whose opinions warrant being outside of free speech protection. Religious folks Religion is like a penis, it's fine if you have one. What you do with it in private is your business, but don't go shoving it in my or my children's faces, don't whip it out in school, public, billboards, on tv and please don't put it on the side of a bus.

  • "free speach to obviosly false opinions" !!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, right ? Why didn't you take the right of free speach away from Bush after that fuck?! Assholes!

  • I'm going to go with 'yes' partially becouse I believe in freedom of speach no matter how evil. In addition having this shit in open light illuminates their shittyness.

  • You are a fag, why dont you go suck your left wing cock

  • hollocaust denial videos DOT COM

  • Hey Turkey!! They're talking to you! "If you did it"

  • The Nazis were effin' genious's. Genuii?

    Anyway, they made 6 million human bodies suddenly, miraculously, and completely disappear. No bones, no teeth, no noses (sorry), nothin'.

    Don't believe me? Ask NAFCASH. They will pay you Real Money if you can find the Magical Disappearing Jews.

    Note: They were forced to pay once before based on a False Judgement by a Real Judge. Do you see a gas chamber? I see a pile of rubble.

    What is more important, Truth or God?

    Good question eh?

  • @profnasty Actually Holocaust remains are pretty common, bones teeth and fillings are all remarkably common.

    out of curiosity why specifically did the Holocaust not happen as opposed to say.......the battle of Hastings?

  • Freedom of speech is exactly that. The instant ANYONE is denied it for ANY reason then its no longer freedom of speech. A simple concept really...

    As for opinions so horrible that I think they should be quashed? Yes, there are several opinions that when aired in the public sector, make my blood boil. However, I believe in democracy and freedom of speech and would never call for them being outlawed/silenced.

  • Sure, let them have free speech. But remind them of the consequences of this, that for the rest of their life they'll probably end up being told they are retards.

  • That was a long-ass quote.

    Personally I think the haters should get free speech. It's really hard to fight an enemy you can't see and I like to know who my enemies are.

  • a flat out no

  • holocaust deniers should be ashamed!

  • It's not the opinions. It's how they are presented. Freedom of speech exists to keep democracy functional, and for no other reason. People have to be able to discuss controversial ideas, or else the ruling class can effectively control everything by getting you in trouble for disagreeing.

    But that does not mean you have a right to be a dick. That's a privilege. Or perhaps you could call it a side effect of free speech. But it is not its purpose.

  • Rights are not rights if someone can take them away (thumps up if you agree)

  • fox news bias. Free speech?

  • when people say chocolate pudding is not delicious that should be illegal

  • Yes there is something so repugnant that I consider outside of free speech. China's "multiculturalism" project is basically stealing all the minority cultures of China and washing it under the context of Han Chinese culture. There is real proven harm from this false propaganda campaign including but not limited to: cultural destruction, brainwashing people into homogenousness, and covering up the human rights abuses to deny justice.

  • @SejinDivine Yes. It's happened in North America, too. First Nations people have suffered a mutation of their cultures from the time of discovery. In Canada wew are just now coming to grips with what residential schools did to First Nations children throughout the early to middle 20th century. They were not even allowed to keep their own languages, and many were horribly abused. We pay in shame as a nation.

  • Check out David Cole at Auschwitz videos. David Cole was a Jewish historian who revealed NO gas chambers at Auschwitz. He has lived with a price on his head for 17 years. There were no gas chambers and there was no extermination program. There were concentration camps. Zyclon-B was a delousing agent. There was a cholera epidemic in the camps.

  • @goshomg Fritz Haber and company invented chemical weapons used even 20 years before, in WWI, they also produced Zyclon-B, during WWII, Zyclon-A was already tested as early as 1929. And before, it was used in a gas to kill people, it was used in powdery substances like diatomaceous earth, in low doses, to kill lice and other pest, for cargo and shipping. 'Using Zyclon-B was/is a war crime.'Later, these chemical weapons were used against PoW's, and it killed them (cheaply, with no mess).

  • Die Glocke Anyone?

  • You don't piss people off. And that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters. Sure, let the people don't believe in the holocaust. I mean, we already let people believe that there is a big man in the sky watching our every move and if we don't believe in his son, we'll be sent to hell.

  • @standalonesociety9 Thats a cheap shot.

  • @standalonesociety9 That is irrelevant

  • @standalonesociety9 George Carlin?

  • @pyrosulfate pretty much. surprised nobody caught the streetlight manifesto one.

  • we are amaricans people we can do what ever we want if it means saying the halocost did not hapan fine but you all so have the right to walk away as he seed it or argue with him that it is true it did. i am a jew who beleaves in crist are lord and saver so i will say im biest and be honast but if you come up to me and say i have evdance that not any jews or cathlics jipsy blacks or gays died in the time of 1935 to 1950 becus of hitler and his therd rike than i have the right to say shut up or ok

  • They should stop the freedom of religious speech, I'm tired of those fucking Jehovah witnesses people at six in the morning

  • @Bayzz2 I made sure the Church nuts stopped coming to my door.

    I acted like a perverted cannibal homosexuals, then changing my acts to atheist, anti-theist, church of the FSM, scientology, etc etc. One time I pretended to be Jesus, but since I am Asian, I feel they might have been a bit offended. LOL

    After a while they stop coming, it took about a year since they come like once a month, but they finally got the message. We shouldn't stop free speech of any kind, so I'll just toy with them.

  • @Neosaigo Thats fucking brilliant.

  • The pope is a guinna pig! The universe is donught shaped! There are only two dimensions [left and more left]! Time travel was invented in 1974 by George Washington! The most refreshing soda in the world is root beer! Aliens didn't crash in Roswell; they just blew shit up! My other car is your mom! Hellen Keller hid in an attick during World War II, was found by Japanese and thrown into a concentration camp! I don't remember why I'm writing this crap. I had a point and forgot.

  • @mustang6172 lol u just made my day

  • @mustang6172 amd i am a purplke flying hippos with my green unicorn buddy we btoh fly and spit out cakes and occasionally eat icecreams while dancing on rainbows, i had a point to htis but i forgot

  • Free speech covers opinions not bullshit.

  • All speech should be protected, with the exception of directly inciting violence. "I'm going to kill you" or "lets hang us a black person" should not be free speech. something like "I don't like gay people" should be consider free speech as its not a direct incitement of violence.

  • @meeproar What about "join the army"?

    And if you say yes to that, then what about "join al-qaeda"?

  • Once you deny freedom to one group of people, you open the doors for other groups of people to have their freedoms denied. This is how a dictatorship starts...

  • Free speech is a wonderful thing. Without it, it would be difficult knowing who's an idiot.

  • "Are there any opinions so false or offensive that you think they should not deserve free speech protection?"

    None. Zero. Especially since you couch it in the term "opinions".

  • YOU are an IDIOT! You shouldn't be allowed to speak on you tube.

  • JEWS DID WTC

  • Free speech to all. If you are "offended" by something/somebody then get over it. Undercutting free speech undercuts everything that is good and right. How can you learn and grow if info is suited to your feelings? Or worse yet somebody elses feelings. Treat us like adults! Free speech for all!!

  • Any literature which professes 'divine authorship' and makes the claim that those who do not believe its contents, or its divine nature, will be justly tortured for eternity could be legitimately denied its freedom of expression/publication.As well as literature or opinions which are essentially circular in their nature or don't contain any valid informational contents (nonsense eg).These things could/should be removed from 'the discusion', as they can only ever cloud the reasoning process.

  • @IMQuazimodo although as an addendum to this I would point out that provided a reasoning mind was given the freedom to access as many points of view as it could understand/conceive there would be no real need to exclude these materials/opinions, as the wise mind would reject them as invalid.

  • After I got to 0:14 I stopped watching...."obviously false opinions." False how? There just isn't any proof of 6 million Jewbags dying...Do you guys know where this whole "six million Jews died" came from? Hitler created 6 million Jobs in Germany...you'd think they'd be more original than that!

  • @wwefanworld You can say it didn't happen but once you use anti-semitic words like "jewbags" well....people just don't want to FUCKING listen you.I mean it makes you look kinda biased.

  • @htimSsalohciN Greedy Jews are everywhere where I'm from! Can't wait till I move out of Jew Jersey!

  • @htimSsalohciN How am I being anti semetic? Jews are NOT semetic...if I were being anti Semetic then I would be anti- muslim or anti- christian... because they are semetic.

  • ARE YOU KIDDING!! THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON FREE SPEACH YOU ASSHOLE! LET PEOPLE HAVE THERE OPINIONS EVEN IF THERE ASSHOLES.

  • im jewish and my grandpa survived auschwitz so basically calling this free speech is very harsh and even though im liberal, i think free speech needs limits (such as no racism)

  • @mysterykill

    I think it means no idiots like u. U don't like FREE speech??? Go live in USA. Oh wait? :)

    Seriously, u want special rules for urself???

  • @pccchurch youre misunderstanding what im saying: there are hate crimes correct? ant there are people who go to jail for hate crimes correct? dont you think that calling someone of a different religion or race something offensive that relates to their religion or race should be a hate crime? because i think it should

  • @mysterykill no, because it isn't a crime to offend people. Since calling somebody of a different race/religion something offensive only offends people it shouldn't be a crime. There is a big difference between being racist/prejudiced based on religion and physically hurting people based on their race/religion.

  • Anti free speech speech`s should not be given free speech protection! :-)

  • freedom of speach baby, you dont like what they are saying, walk away; the second you try takeing away their right to express what they believe in, is the same second you become no better then a nazi, yea thats right, i compared you close minded bigots to nazi's, suck em.

  • i think Islamic propaganda that promotes hate and violence should be criminalized should be criminalized.

  • Any person or group which calls for the immediate, malicious treatment and/or physical harm of another person or group of people...I can't abide by it, and I don't feel they should be granted equal protection by the First Amendment. Obvious examples may include Neo-Nazis, Klan members, and Rush Limbaugh *wink*.

    The fact that Fred Phelps' church members can parade around the country promoting bigotry and hate disgusts me. They are foul, ugly creatures, hardly human beings.

  • @OrionsChild So you can kill your own people I.E. Stalin, but you can't kill others. Got it. Makes sense. Thanks for your incredibly powerful and well thought out opinion.

  • @cbrandom Ah, I see you heard I'm a dirty Red then, yes? Keep in mind that Stalin was a TOTALITARIAN DICTATOR and thus far, far right wing, hiding behind a faux-leftist agenda. He was insane, and doesn't have a thing to do with Marxism in itself. Pick up the Manifesto some time and see for yourself. Or are ~94 pages too much to take in?

  • @OrionsChild Do you also know that Fred Phelps was one of the first southern lawyers to stand up to racism in the early 60's winning lawsuits for equality of blacks in his state? He did great things for black people. Is he really all that ugly? Did you know that? Probably not

  • the dude is "hailing"

  • If people are allowed to believe in lies, then there's no stopping them screaming those same lies from a podium or before a live international television or online audience. I believe that nothing is beyond free speech but it is up to us as a society to educate the youth to detect poorly credible information for themselves. Its unfortunately, "listener/viewer/reader beware". I just feel there are too many ignorant ones and enough to believe in these lies to give them life to the next generation.

  • @dimitri9007

    such as jewish soaps or jewish lamps or even jewish hair matresses that nazis made

  • the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act was intended to protect Americans from the psychological operations (PSYOP) employed by their own government against enemy nations. In reality the ultra-abusive "Holocaust" PSYOP has always been used to victimize Americans the same as the Germans. Untold billions of USA tax dollars have gone to fund "Israel" which was established solely on the basis of the "holocaust" fraud. More billions are spent on the bogus "Holocaust" museums to further brainwash the broad masses.

  • @DudeAbidesNoMore The Zionist WWII gassing fantasy separates the thinkers from the followers.

  • "So"... fuckin retard,learn to start ur videos another way. always with the the fucking so, let the word "so" have a fuckin break,shitstain.

  • @katkal3 Why so sensitive?

  • @onefodderunit cause this liberalviewer asshole always starts his videos saying "so...." Im tired of it.

  • ''Holocaust'' is the biggest hoax in the history of the world.

  • @Compantino and your possibly the most ignorant, blind, and irredeemable fool in the world.

    secondly, everyone one should feel safe expressing whatever honest opinions they have, regardless of how offensive or mean spirited they are. its the only way to be sure that one day, something you say cant be grounds for arrest or other persecution.

  • @OneEyedMonsterr The biggest genocide was the mass murderers of Judeo-Bolshevism (Jewish Communism), which caused over 66 000 000 European lifes.

    Jews have much blood on their hands, and they, my friend, shall pay for it!

  • @Compantino What about global warming and evolution?

  • @oingishpoop Jewish financed dust - yes it exists! Race, nature and you - yes it think indeed it exists!

  • All pc people don’t go apes shit on me, but the so called Holocaust deniers do they all deny that any Jews was killed in w2? Or is it certain "facts" that some want to research and discuss. But they can’t since it’s forbidden in Europe, and they risk fines and prison sentence. Why is it ok to research the killings of the communist in the gulags without any risk. I can claim that only 2 million died in the gulag or the Holodrom, but if I say the same about the Shoa im a criminal and a denier?

  • What is freedom of speech if it doesn't protect the controversial opinions? Nothing. You can't be against nazis, racists, fascists, holocaust deniers and horse-lovers right to express their opinions, and at the same time say that you're for freedom of speech. It's hypocritical and it makes no sense.

  • And don't mistake me for some fucking Zionist, you can criticize israel all you want.

    But when you start saying stupid shit like mr "SSPanzer94" who is a fucking AMERICAN you have to realize how ignorant you are.

  • this is so damn funny, you liberal communist pussies will never make it with your zionism bullshit. i hope iran wipes israel off the map, and cant you idiots make up your mind about how many people died in your "holocaust"? is it 6 million, 10 million, or idk half ww2's total deaths? fucking greedy kike bastards

  • @SSPanzer94 Ah, a hitler supporter. You DO realize that you would of been killed by the SS, correct? Considering you yourself are an american and thus not part of hitlers GERMAN "Master race".

    And I see you also support a terrorist state (Iran) that wants to not only destroy Israel but also the USA, you know, the country that you fucking live in.

    Go play in traffic, you fucking moron.

  • @HolyTacoProductions

    You fucking idiot, Hitler had SS in almost every occupied territory in German control. If your dumbass didn't know, there was a Waffen-SS British, Muslim Wafffen-Handschar, and even a Russian and Ukrainian SS, learn your fucking history. I am also a German-American, free of blood pollution by lesser races which the SS needed. The "terrorists" (Iran) wouldn't hate USA if it wasn't so deeply involved with Israel and the Jews which is who controls this shitty country.

  • @SSPanzer94 Oh by the way, german soldiers raped MILLIONS of women during WW2. So if you liked what hitler did then you must like rape, correct?

    You wouldn't mind it if someone raped your mother/sister/daughter would you?

  • @HolyTacoProductions

    The only people who claimed the Germans raped "millions" were the Russians (communists) who had to say and do whatever they could to keep the soldiers from deserting en masse to the Germans, just to keep them fighting. Some Germans may have raped women, but they were sick bastards who should've been shot on the spot. Stalin's personal order to all Russians as they entered Germany, was to rape every German woman and they nearly did rape ALL German women in east Germany

  • @SSPanzer94 You seem to think that I mentioned/defended russian war crimes during WW2.

  • @HolyTacoProductions

    I was just mentioning that the Soviets, under the control of Josef Stalin, who was of the Jewish race, were ordered by Jewish commanders to rape women. Jews made up 80% of high ranking Communist officials and military officers.

  • @SSPanzer94 You sir are hopeless.

  • @SSPanzer94 This shows how fucking stupid nazi pieces of shit really are.

    Stalin wasn't jewish, and not every fucking person is jewish, nor is there a global jewish conspiracy. Jesus fucking Christ.

  • @MGSoldier

    Well Ilja Ehrenburg, Genrich Jagoda,Trotsky Kaganovitch,Beria was jewish, not only communist slavs(russians) has blood on their hands. Josef Stalin was not jewish he actually killed some of his jewish communist elite + some doctors (Either as a result of his paranoia or as a reaction of planned coup d'éta)

    because of this poor Joe has sometimes been called a anti semite.

  • @Carpediem8110101 Communists are mostly atheists, and I am pretty sure these men were. Born as Jews but abandoned their religion in their later lives.

    Also, Beria was not a Jew.

  • @MGSoldier "Born as Jews but abandoned their religion in their later lives, ." Judaism is the jewish religion, but you only have to look at israel to understand that 90% of all jews are a ethnic Ashkenazim or Sephardim, a large part of the jews in Israel that has made Aliyah is ateist jews. Israel is clearly not a theocracy

    "Beria was not a Jewish". Yepp my misstake, but i made my point (Ilja Ehrenburg, Genrich Jagoda,Trotsky Kaganovitch)

  • @SSPanzer94 Just out of curiosity why do you support Hitlers ideals/eradication of jews?

  • @HolyTacoProductions

    The jews have caused the decline of all european countries by introducing their "peace-loving" ways to europeans which caused interracial breeding, economic depression, and overall overthrowing the original rulers through blood-poisoning. Plus, the Talmud refers to all gentiles (non-jews) as goyim (cattle) to be the slaves of the Jewish race. We gave Palestine to Israel for the Jews; and started conquering nearby islamic countries, doing "ethnic cleansing" in those areas.

  • @SSPanzer94 idiot

  • Who's the bloke who looks like Ben Elton.

  • I state my opinion based on John Stuart Mills' quote you shared. And, you might agree that a true public servant would not say one thing and do another. Free speech presupposes an integrity and valor underpinning an attempt at truth. But journalism has also failed us grievously. More people get paid today to spin a particular point of view than to dig and verify the truth or reasonableness or consistency in another man's word. God help us poor people caught in the middle of all the deceit.

  • I really respect your work. Keep it coming. Its the work of a rigorous and do-diligent mind. My opinion is that free speech by in large should be withheld from politicians! I'm not joking. Think about it. For all the people who needed, and wanted to believe in chance and accountability by government it appears that the record is showing that we elected a black republican with a scary terrorist name who does not believe in human rights to lead a country that is the false face of democracy!

  • Nazi's are evil bastards. People who deny that the holocaust happened, are morons, and need to get a nice slap in the face.

    I think that the people that stand outside soldiers funerals and hold signs that say things like "God loves dead soldiers" and yell terrible things while the family of the deceased is morning their loved one, should have the right to say what they want, but I also believe that the people at the funeral should be able to beat the crap out them.

  • @ameliaruff1 Nazi is a short word for National Socialist, and national socialism is as "evil" as communism, capitalism, anarchism etc. Each political system viciously targets its percieved enemies, especially during it's "national birth". The origin of every existing country is bathed in the blood of innocents.

  • DOWN WITH THE GINGERBREAD MEN, YARR!!!!!!

  • @LiberalViewer there is a real problem at the heart of purist free speech philosophy in that it doesnt inherently guarantee an equal platform to all speakers. That is something that must be specified additionally. I'm not saying I do advocate an equal platform for all speakers, since this would allow truth to be lost in the swam of ignorance and lies. However capitalism favours the views of liars and the ignorant in terms of which platforms are loudest.

    What would you do? iYouTube. You decide.

  • NO free speach is FREE speach !!!

  • aside from the old yelling fire in an enclosed public space [when there is no fire] restriction, there should be nothing said or written or expressed that should not enjoy First Amendment protection. certainly not a pedophile's guide or a holocaust denial or the natterings of o.j. simpson or even a gingerbread hitler. because when you do that, hitler stops being made of gingerbread, if you know what i mean.

  • John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with a half a pint of shanty was particularly ill....

  • If you feel anyone should be censored, it shows how lacking in argumentative ability you are. C'mon, I want a ginger-bread hitler ....it looks so cute! ^.^

  • What do people think about that book that was on sale on Amazon recently, the one that gave advice to adults about how to have encounters with kids. It was called The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct. Were Amazon right to sell it? Should it have been withdrawn? Or is this an exception to free speech?

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, everyone should get free speech. And then no, every idea should be able to be expressed.

  • Antisemitism = "Get him, he's telling the truth."

  • im gonna say that free speech may be denied when it physically endagers others. (I.E. revealing locations in a war situation, etc.)

  • "Power don't come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big and gettin' the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you've got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, you've got 'em by the balls." -- 'Sin City' (2005)

  • Deaths during the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe:

    Camps  3,000,000 (up to)

    Shootings 1,300,000 (over)

    Privation 800,000 (over)

  • i say lets deny nazi free spech

  • love mill, studied him at a-level. THat quote sounded pretty aetheist. even more of hero

  • DAYUUM O_O

    that quote from "On Liberty" was amazing! just... wow =O

    ... Nazi gingerbread men... -shakes head-

  • Yeah, I know one opinion that doesn't deserve free speech protection...my parents telling me whether kids my age are cool or not. ^.^

  • Of course. Denying the holocaust is fucking retarded.

  • @NoiseMaker231 I found the holocaust debate informative. I didn't know, for example, that the gas chambers were not in Germany but mostly in Poland. Most people I know think Auschwitz was a German city.

    Finally, OJ had free speech, no one was going to put him in prison for writing a book. That doesn't mean a publisher has to publish it! If you don't understand that the 1st amendment applies to government not to publishers and citizens then you need to read it again.

  • @darwinkilledgod get some help young man

  • @claton95 Huh? What exactly are you getting at?

  • @darwinkilledgod you find the holocuast debate informative? questioning whether 6 million people died or not? Hmm what if someone shot you in the head then we could have a debate whether you were really killed or not.

  • @claton95 You illustrate my point nicely. If you had bothered to watch the debate rather than assume you knew both sides from the start, you would realize that what I found interesting were some rarely-known facts such as that the Nazi death camps were generally outside of Germany, that Auschwitz was in Poland, not germany, and so on. Sometimes people who are flat wrong will still make interesting points.

    I recommend you listen to a speech by Christopher Hitchens on Freedom of Speech.

  • @NoiseMaker231 Indeed, but so is accepting everything you're told about it. The propaganda is stacked as high as the sky on both sides, sensationalists and deniers.

  • i don't think anything is outside of free speech and just remember if Holocaust deniers have the right so do you so say why there retarded

  • I think hollocaust deniers should be allowed their point of view. It could set a very dangerous precedent to deny them their freedom. For instance authorities could get rid of an inconvenient left winger, who denied Stalin's purges, based on exactly the same logic as you deny speech to a hollocaust denier.

  • This question smacks of an all or nothing sense of liberty. I however think we're smarter than that. Some things just don't deserve the protection of free speech. To put it in the context of Mill's argument, wisdom comes from the freedom of ideas, but what freedom needs be afforded after wisdom has been achieved. The Earth revolves around the sun & no further benefit can be gained by entertaining otherwise. Likewise, the Holocaust happened.

    Westboro Baptist Church. <- Shut those cretins up!

  • no opinion should ever be silenced... no matter how false it is. however, any speech that a reasonable person could consider threatening should have vast repercussions. yelling fire in a crowded theatre to cause panic (and others along this vein) as an example should be punishable by, no less than 1 year and no more than, the natural term of life, in prison, obviously depending on the perceived intent.

  • I wrote a whole dang essay on my opinion on free speech. I have way too much to say on this, and all of it will sound retarded to at least one person. Fortunately, no lay person like myself will ever get any meaningful opinions out, because all the other lay people want to keep others from breaking the silence which comes with conformity. Nietzsche was spot on with this stuff. Efficacy is failing; that's why there's the Tea Party growing now.

  • To put it simply. No. No one, not matter how ignorant their statements may be, should be silenced.

  • But free speech leads to persecutions and freedom, the results go both ways

  • It doesnt atte fi the person is wrong , you have to let them speak. whats why its called "FREE speech" You cant have it both ways

  • We are worse than the Nazi. Enough with the Nazi talk already.

  • The only opinion I consider so offensive as to not be protected is that the Holocaust happened. Or that Israel deserves to exist.

  • Unpopular speach needs protection. Block this then you can say bye to so much that is worth talking about. Plus the good thing about free speech is that if someone is a holocaust denier you know they are an antisemite neo nazi. Watch Hitchens recent lecture on the language of genocide. We should let people say what they think, then chance their mind or condem them on their values.

  • @Nexius8 "if someone is a holocaust denier you know they are an antisemite neo nazi" So unpopular speech needs protection but if they pick the wrong topic they are a neo nazi? Ignorant!

    Not a "denier" but I am concerned about the discrepancies: if the Nazis were so evil then why did they allow the red cross into the camps? Why did the nazi records of deaths match with the records of the red cross which are orders of magnitude lower than the numbers reported by jews, which keep climbing???

  • @nunayafb I have a relative who was one of the first people to enter one of the less well known death camps. I tend to trust his, and all the other service mens, accounts of the death camps, mass graves etc. This was such a shocking and wide spread event that the UN created legislation in order to advoid future genocides. Infact the crime was so unprecidented that the word genocide had to be created for it. These things don't just happen. If it was a con hundreds of thousands were in on it.

  • @Nexius8 I have read stories of people who were in those camps, their accounts were never as explicit or evil as hollywood's creations! This brings up the other issue I have with the death camps: how is your relative alive? If the nazi's were so efficient at killing then why so many alive?

    Mass graves are evidence of death not genocide, typhus killed many- not all jews either!

    BTW, the UN also has legislation barring nations from disclosing evidence of extraterrestrial life, seen any green men?

  • @nunayafb Sorry, having reread I wasn't clear. He was one of the first soldiers. And he is no longer alive but that was from smoking. Just so you know where Im coming from I don't think the jews should have gotten isreal out of sympathy and I also belive they are commeting genocide againt the arabs there. Although a VERY diffrent scale. After all the forced removal of people is genocide.

    I would be intrested to know the artical name about the aliens. It would be intresting reading.

  • Comment removed

  • @nunayafb Concerning your claims concerning the Red Cross statistics agreeing with the Nazis. The Red Cross has been quiet clear on this, they were aiming to help the victims not count them. Nor could they have collected such statistics since they were only allowed into some of the camps towards the end of the war. Holocaust deniers quote a Red Cross report, from this period, so badly out of context that information on an allied civilian camp is said to refer to a Nazi camp

  • @commonberus1 And no I do not believe critiicism of Israel equates to antisemitism.

  • y is every stephen colbert report video not stephen colbert but liberal viewer... can u please label ur videos as such..

  • I'm just disappointed that this was you and not Stephen Cobert.

  • to quote Dennis Miller

    how could the bright pearl of wisdom stick out against the black velvet of stupidity. It is better to let the Ku Klux Klan march through ur town, than to waste ur time and money to stop them. instead of challenging their right to free speech use ur energy to point out to ur children the irony of the fat guys in the pee soaked bed sheets spouting all sorts of monosyllabic eugenic claptrap and all the while claiming to be the master race

  • I'm kind of on the fence about this. On the one hand, I fear a slippery slope, but on the other hand, I think of people like the Westboro Baptist Church, whose "opinions" could easily be classified as assault.

    The issue is, however, Holocaust deniers, genocide promoters, and the like are all denied free speech in hundreds of countries we hardly think of as "oppressive" (Germany, Canada, UK, etc), and I think the free speech these people have could be construed as infringing on others' rights.
