LOL.  Please answer my question.

I agree, but apparently you are not aware of what has been happening in 
Canada.  Please visit the following link and look at the ad that Hugh Owens 
paid $1,700 to place in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix.  The Saskatchewan Human 
Rights Commission says it is hatred and has ordered Mr. Owens to pay the 
three claimants $1,500 each.  Do you agree with the Judge that such an ad is 
hatred?

Except for the fact that your programming causes you to confuse 
homosexuality with race, it sounds like we are pretty much in agreement with 
this paragraph.  So why do you think we street preachers practice hate 
speech?  Please define hate speech clearly so that we can know what it is. 
This Judge says that Hugh Owens' ad is hate speech.  I don't see it.  If we 
cannot define hate speech, maybe we should just drop this whole notion of 
hate speech being a crime.

Peace be with you.
