re: #4 Iron Fist

I don’t know which is worse in this case the “hate speech” or the outlawing of the “hate speech”. Two evils don’t make a single good…

True. But although the US has by far the most tolerant laws concerning speech, even here there are limits, and they tend to follow similar contours to laws in other countries that impose limits on speech. In this case, the crime is somewhat analogous to laws in the US against inciting a riot; the underlying theory is that racial vilification can lead to more destructive societal events than are tolerable to society as a whole. Laws restricting speech are even more strict in Europe, where the memory of the consequences of allowing vilification of ethnic groups is all too current and pervasive.

I’m not certain I like where the limits are placed in other countries, but the idea that there should be limits of some sort is upheld here already and is quite understandable.
