Hate Speech

Very thoughtful, Surfman

I don't consider expressing frustration with life hate speech. To me, hate speech is when you express hate toward a specific race or gender or group of people, or a specific person, not the general dissatisfaction with life and how one is treated. It's like, if you know what it is that's bothering you, frustration and dissatisfaction with life, you are not so apt to want to destroy other people because you know it's about your own personal issues and not about others and how you want to ruin their lives. I hope my situation improves but I don't want to destroy someone else's life. That won't make mine any better or easier.

Still, I will probably complain when someone is rude for no good reason, just because they want to be or think it's fun or whatever. I will complain when I feel discriminated against, too.

I make formal complaints and am an active protestor.

There are many struggles for liberty in the face of oppression

One should only speak of that which is real. How am I to know what is real? So why should I speak?

If a thing has consistently measurable presence or effects, then it can be considered real (i.e., matter, energy, physical forces).

If a thing has no consistently measurable presence or effect, then it can be considered not real (i.e., gods, ghosts, and psychic abilities).

To impart knowledge.

Earth looks flat to me! Why do I look up at the phone before it rings? Why did I wake at 4.30am when my father passed away, his time of death. Why did I start a thread about scandanavians and aspergers 2 weeks ago that has been removed?. Why did I start a survivalist during catastrophe, thread on another site, last year just before our earthquakes in NZ?

Why did I become agitated over bizarre events occurring around me 6pm NZ time, during the hours of Breviks killings. Why Why Why?

Tell me what is real

Breivik - never again. I hate hate speech. I define it as speaking against a group of people who are different in some way. In other words, hate speech is the mantra of enforced sameness. Only weak people use it regularly. I think it really doesn't matter if hate speech is practiced openly before public, at workplace, at home, or in the company of a few trusted friends. It'll be still one. If people would be mature, such as being able to recognize the inherently erroneous reasoning, the inhuman nature of its fundamentals, no one would be listening to it, so eventually every move to protect the offended would be superfluous. Alas, this is not the case. People will use it to boost their otherwise poor self-esteem, protect their ego, taking it everyday as it was their bread and butter. I see such cases of "humans" around me. Quotes stand for the question, why humanity is still in the middle ages mentally? *sigh*

Tell me what is real - There is no way to tell it, strictly saying. As I see it, best way to perceive the world around you is to mix materialism and agnosticism. Trust exact science, but be prepared for the unexpected. Don't always search for exact explanations.
