Those who demand suppression of free speech in America say, "Freedom of speech is to be used, not abused.
There is no room in America for racism."
They then quote the famous line, "Freedom of speech does not include the right to shout 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater."
I have a question:
What if there IS a fire in a crowded theater?

Hate laws protect those who abuse others from attack,it discriminates against. These laws also shield the goverment rift raft from critism. In reguards to yelling fire in a crowded theater if a fire actually existed, why bother the only ones who will perish are those use to following comands, those who can not think for their selves.
Leave it to Bob. He would ask a question like that.
We must never surrender our freedom of speech.
Racism we will have with us always. As we should. In my opinion, it is utterly natural for racism to exist. There is nothing to talk about. Of course, you should respect your own race. Of course, you will want to cleave to your own kind. That's normal. That's natural. That will always be.

A good point, but that whole thing is a leftist fallacy anyway. When you buy a theatre ticket, you enter into a contract with the owner - he agrees to provide the entertainment and a comfortable environment, and you agree to pay the money and not make a nuisance. Shouting 'fire!' is breaking that contract, so they have the right to throw you out. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, and everything to do with contract law.

One problem is that "conservatives" look to liberals as "Authority." Like Bob says we must now start to directly question this "authority." One ex; Liberals love blacks, but do blacks like liberalism or liberals themselves? We white men if we are to regain our rightful place must take on an air of inquiry or we shall surely suffer the consequences of this backward old testament like religion of PC.

It wouldn't matter if you yelled fire in a crowded theatre. 3/4 of the room would be hispanic and not understand the word "fire." Theatres have sprinkler systems so no one would die of the fire in the first place. The sprinkler systems would turn the fire into smoke and those not trampled to death would die of smoke inhalation -- which would leave no one to turn you in for shouting "fire" in the first place.

Whoever says not to cry "fire!" when there is a fire probably started it.
