Once again, you are confusing true liberals with the whiny, spineless group who most commonly refer to themselves as democrats. If someone wants to use the word "nigger", he has that right under the first amendment, just like I have the right to tell that same person he is a classless idiot.
As for classifying homosexuals in terms of hate crimes, I think it should be done. There is a huge difference in preaching about homosexuality and going out and beating or killing someone because he or she is gay. To me, that is no different than beating someone because he or she is black, Asian, Hispanic, or in some cases, white. Do I have the right to censor you because you want to refer to someone as a faggot? No. But I still have the right to call you a classless idiot. (And I mean that in the nicest of ways; I know you are the epitome of class.) On May 18, 11:23 am, Keith In Tampa <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Zeb!!
