I find the entire concept of the term hate speech offensive, and not just because its a buzz word for weak willed goodie two shoes, as the great Voltaire once said :

"I disagree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it"

I frankly don't care if someone gets offended by something, shit happens, near 20 years of my life from a very young age was day in day out shit with no respite, every single day of my upbringing taking shit n pushing back, but I didn't winge, I grew a thick skin and a wise mouth, and your worried about someone saying something on the internet? Come complain to me when you have real problems. Trying to say someone can't THINK something and as an extension of that say it and has to shut off part of their brain I find to be bordering on the concept of thought crime.

It's about freedom of thought really, 'no you can't joke about that', 'no you can't think about that', bull fucking shit, I'm trying to rid myself of mental roadblocks, especially any that stem from fear, not adopt more. And speaking of humor, you know what you do when you make jokes in touchy subjects? You change the connotation of the thought and rob it of its negative power. You turn something negative into positive, if delivery and intent is done with finesse that is.

And I am very serious about that by the way, I am militantly trying to force my mind into having no taboo's, because its only when it is free from fear, free from... hesitation, that it will be at its most efficient. (Good side effect of making a conscious effort to develop my conviction of character btw, ain't had a nightmare in years, even at a subconscious level the only option my brain will accept is 'no fuck you', even in my nightmares as rare as they are, I kick everyones ass, bad to the bone baby)

Now, I can understand disagreeing with someone, saying 'oi, fuckwit, racism aint cool', in fact one time this dude was drunk, angry n looking for a fight, n I said to him 'dude the only form of discrimination I don't believe in is racism because we were all born equally bigoted', and ya know what? The dude had tattood over his Swastika tattoo next time I saw him. Reasoning with him, that worked, trying to say 'no you can't do that' or 'your a terrible person', that shit never works dude, ever, it just festers and comes out in other avenues.

However I'm getting sidetracked, the reason I am going on here is the word 'accountable', that really stuck in my craw. Implying you believe judicial proceedings like those in Germany where you can get locked up for saying certain words are a reasonable response to a thought, not even necessarily a belief, but a thought? That doesn't jive with me.
