Yes. I understand harassment is an issue, but saying something racist or homophobic shouldn't be against the law. It makes someone an asshole, sure. But it should not be illegal. That's ridiculous. Hurting someone's feelings shouldn't get you arrested.

Unless it's actually leading to violence. Enticing violence through abuse of your right of free speech, I think, should be illegal.Originally Posted by theruiner
I was watching the clip, and stumbled across this:
Some of the comments are incredible. I'm always baffled by how ignorant some people are.
Oh, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND: WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT! Oh yeah...

How would bullying fit in? I agree for the most part that people should be able to say hateful things and express hateful ideas And only have to suffer everyone knowing they are bigoted assholes, but at some point doesn't someone cross the line into directly harming another person? Call it bullying, harassment, stalking, terrorism, whatever, you're using your words and general behavior to harm people. To a point It should probably be let go. I mean people shouldn't jailed for a simple insult. But if you take it so far as to make a person legitimately afraid, or to make an entire train horrified? At some point words have to be counted. Ideas are fine, but abuse is abuse.
