Im not a racist but this thing of calling people racist has gone out of control. Racist is believing people are divided into races thats all that means.
Today anything can be considered racist this is not right. Discrimination is not racism its discrimination period. This is why im for hate speech free speech because its just opinion. Exciting violence is something else but saying you dont like your neighbor is an opinion.
I think that there should not be favoritism when dealing with minority groups. that being there should not be laws that deny others to have another opinion. Religious group should have the right to comment on any subject you can disagree with them but they should not be forced to agree with you by the government.

This admission should not be inferred by you to mean that I am not a miserable bastard who likes to spoil it for everyone.

When someone has the last word he could use the term libertarianism 101 at the end of the last sentence to restore the significance, although the guy that does that has been a bit slack about that lately.

We had exactly 101 comments about a speech made by the man who made 101 infamous! (Room 101, from 1984). Now we’ve gone beyond it! How could you, Jim?

This I would assume to mean the authorities had not managed to find enough evidence to convince a court. This in no way implies guilt.

How many have been dragged through the courts recently? Don’t forget that in many cases prosecution does not proceed because it will be too difficult.
