Hate crime laws...
 
...are STUPID!

Why is there a need for a more severe sentence for hate crimes?

Hating a person because of their skin color or sexual orientation is an ignorant bliss. But, I do remember a day in America where idiots had the right to have their own opinions.

A stiffer sentence infringes on a persons right to be an idiot, and I doubt that the laws are an effective crime deterrant.

You receive no argument from the Conservative Corner. I just wish that all others agreed with us on the issue.

Hmm, I've heard a couple other "We All Need To..."
and note that all "they" are really worried about is
a united "Us"...

I agree.

Hate crime laws are historically geared toward a certain group of people who seek certain extra protection. Unfortunately, when the extra protection is granted, in most cases it reveals that not all are created equally with equal protection under the law.

Hate crime laws are themselves a form of discrimination.

I think that this brings everything into triplicate. :highfive


I agree with both of you. Sadly we are equal under the law, but we have developed a belief that some are more equal than others. This is an overturning of our most basic civil doctrines, traditions, and legal structure.
