@aumoaum (fordi jeg erfarer du værdsætter korrekturlæsning af egne kommentarer efter de er postede:) Det skulle naturligvis have været et punktum, ikke et komma, efter "almene dannelse".

@emilm EmilM! Jeg håber du ser det her!

Jeg har siddet og læst nogle af dine comments på de her klip, der er for mange til jeg orker dem alle. Men helt seriøst, jeg vil meget gerne tage imod dit tilbud om at mødes. Ikke så vi kan slås eller skændes, men fordi jeg, straight up, gerne vil tale med dig ("factually and rationally"; jeg garanterer at jeg er en god dialogfører).

Har du lyst? Sådan, blot for vores begges almene dannelse, Helt seriøst. PM mig evt :-)

@klingest The Civil Rights movement in the US had nothing to do with fighting for a right of free speech. It USED the right to free speech (contrary to your argument) to fight against the oppression and segregation of races, as it stands in the constitution that all man are equal. If you don't understand, it had nothing to do with not being able to express your hatred toward a race. It had to do with the abolishment of segregation laws as they are a contradiction to the constitution.

@klingest Stop speaking for "everybody" in Denmark, otherwise what does that make it? The fact that you think you can speak for everyone in Denmark means that there IS propaganda in Denmark so that everyone WILL THINK THE SAME WAY. Do you understand your contradiction?

[emilm]

@klingest What's the matter with people spreading their views of hatred? People don't get killed or mistreated due to influence of these hate groups. What does democracy mean to you? They should be able to express themselves even though other people may not like it. It is their right to freedom of speech, otherwise it's called oppression. I'm sure even you can agree that no humans have the right to be oppressed.

[klingest]

@emilm you still have the right to be a neo nazi, fascist, communist, racist, you just aren't allowed to express these views in public space. Actually i think you have a law like that in the USA. Civil Right movement.. Martin Luther King Jr.... Ring a bell ? So you don't have TRUE freedom of speech in the USA too. : )

[klingest]

@emilm these laws are there to prevent people in spreading views like, that some groups of people should be mistreated or killed... And i think that everybody in Denmark can agree on that, unless you are one of those who want to mistreat or kill a certain group of people. Don't you have laws like that in the USA?

[klingest]

@emilm there are many racist people in Denmark. They don't get locked up! So the law only works by principle! I am danish, and you are clearly not, because you know NOTHING about our country and how it works here. You have just proved that yourself.

[klingest]

@emilm I think that most people would agree that it is not okay to insult or dishonor other people. And most people, don't feel a need to insult other people in public. So I don't have a problem with that law. If you have a radical view, you can still have it and talk about it. You just have to do it, without insulting people.
