I am not saying that I know the answer, I will leave that to the better prepared. Its just that by preventing people from speaking their minds doesn't make the racism go away it just supresses it. Isnt it better for these people to be in the open so that we know who they are.

The dog thin, weirdly the only people who should be offended by this, are Nazis and his girlfriend (presumably now ex). Granted, I have more regard for dogs than Nazis, but still, it must rankle them more seeing their belief system reduced to something a dog understands. Its a bit like Dappy or Celebrity or p* (the kinds I don't like), as long as I can avoid it to a reasonable degree, then I'm fine. When it spills out from the 'controlled space' then its a problem.

I agree.....the point at which freedoms become unfair is when people can't reasonably get away from them or are compelled to deal with them. Though I have an exception to this in the area of immigration where the state decides that the people living in an area have no ownership over it and a new group is allowed to take the area over and change it culturally. There people have a right to have their complaints heard. But outside of that I'd agree with the point. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Jan 2018 4.12pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

His girlfriend attended court with him....he even said it was a joke at the beginning of the video. This whole thing is years old now.....the court extended this case till March on Friday....This case has now gone on for twice the length of the Nuremberg trials.
