It seems that teaching your dog to give Nazi salute and posting the video of said teaching is a hate crime.

Sometimes the law is an ass.

Political Correctness is going to kill us if we let it.

If anyone was told you who are, your identity, and then looked at your posting, there are plenty of people that remember you from your early usenet days that easily could confirm you are that person.

Sometimes the law is an ass.
Sometimes people don't read entire articles. The guy said he trained
the dog to do a Nazi salute to bug his girlfriend, but he continued
posting it long after she saw it. He wanted it to be seen. And the
salute wasn't the only thing he taught the dog to do. He also taught
the dog to have a reaction whenever he hears the word 'Jew'. The guy
is an anti-Semite.

As atheists, we aren't against all religious people. We're against
their religions and what those religions can convince people to do
against those who don't believe as they do.

If the guy had just done the Nazi salute thing and then took it down
once his girlfriend saw it, might have agreed with you, but he did
more than enough to show it was deliberately bigoted and the guy
wanted it to be seen by as many people as possible.
I might have agreed with you.

- show quoted text -

So it should be a crime to hurt or offend someone?

Even assholes are supposed to be able to speak freely.

This is a thought crime that makes the law the judge of your state of mind.

The guy put it up as a joke.
People thought it was funny an other people did not.

Free speech is one of the cornerstones of actually being free. Unless you yell fire in a crowded theatre or something similar it's nobody's business.
No harm was done, nothing remotely criminal.

It will provide him with new comedy material for years.

Unless they make that a crime too.

It had nothing at all to do with Jews. It was about 'cute' pugs and
nazis, and how the latter are the least cute thing he could think of.
Maybe the joke would have been even more obvious had he clad the ugly
little creature in a KKK costume, and nobody would have bat an eye.

He didn't try to make nazis to look funny. He tried to make a pug look
ugly. Free speech is free speech only if we let those we disagree with
also speak freely. This horror show started with the fatwa issued
against Salman Rushhdie. These days anybody can claim that they have
been offended and that the protection of their feelings is more
valuable than the most important pillar of a free and open society. I
am utterly appalled that he was convicted.

against Salman Rushhdie. These days anybody can claim that they have
been offended and that the protection of their feelings is more
valuable than the most important pillar of a free and open society. I
am utterly appalled that he was convicted.
He is quite unethical to make such stupid politically sensitive jokes.
To convict him with hate crime might be too far, but to tolerate his
behavior doesn't make the problem go away. Both sides are going at the
extremes. I think there should be a middle ground to take the politics
out of it.

If the guy had just done the Nazi salute thing and then took it down
once his girlfriend saw it, might have agreed with you, but he did
more than enough to show it was deliberately bigoted and the guy
wanted it to be seen by as many people as possible.
I might have agreed with you.
- show quoted text -
So it should be a crime to hurt or offend someone?
Even assholes are supposed to be able to speak freely.
This is a thought crime that makes the law the judge of your state of mind.
The guy put it up as a joke.
People thought it was funny an other people did not.
Free speech is one of the cornerstones of actually being free. Unless you yell fire in a crowded theatre or something similar it's nobody's business.
No harm was done,
How childish and intellectually underdeveloped you are.

It will provide him with new comedy material for years.
Unless they make that a crime too.
This isn't a thought crime, and it isn't freedom of speech either. This
is simply an unethical foolish behavior that should not be allowed in a
civil society. You can have your political freedom, but you must respect
and abide by the society's moral standard to never hurt or offend any
member of the society intentionally.

Just because someone insults you, does not then legally allow you to physical harm them.

Now that is not a license to insult, but it would be illegal to do something to them.

For example If I insult you online, you need to have a thick skin if online, that is how it is, if you choose to make your life online mostly, you can't be a bully against others, as you feel it a threat to your online activities, you should improve your capability online or find something else to do.

Political Correctness is going to kill us if we let it.
Sometimes people don't read entire articles. The guy said he trained
the dog to do a Nazi salute to bug his girlfriend, but he continued
posting it long after she saw it. He wanted it to be seen. And the
salute wasn't the only thing he taught the dog to do. He also taught
the dog to have a reaction whenever he hears the word 'Jew'. The guy
is an anti-Semite.
As atheists, we aren't against all religious people. We're against
what their religions can convince people to do against those who
don't believe as they do.
If the guy had just done the Nazi salute thing and then took it down
once his girlfriend saw it, I might have agreed with you, but he did
more than enough to show it was deliberately bigoted and the guy

Harvard scholar Alan Dershowitz might have the answer.

“We are miseducating a whole generation of future leaders on our college campuses today. We are teaching them intolerance, we’re encouraging shutting down dissenting views,” Dershowitz, a constitutional law professor, said during a recent roundtable discussion. “I am terrified about [what happens] twenty or thirty years from now, when these young people who have been taught not to tolerate diverse views become our leaders.”

As a member of society, you have a moral responsibility not to offend
anyone. It's not about the law. It's about respecting your fellow
citizen and respecting yourself. When your own moral value doesn't help
you to understand this, the society you are living in has a
responsibility to teach you a lesson.

Now the lesson might be too harsh to make it a hate crime, but a more
appropriate lesson may still be needed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_Canada
The attitude to free speech does depend on a country's history and
culture. For instance, I find it entirely understandable and logical
that in Germany, denial of the holocaust should be a criminal offence
and not covered by freedom of speech.

It also depends on whether you are at the receiving end. Think of all
the words and expressions used against homosexuals or black people ...
and then imagine what that would do to you if you were referred to like
that every day.

And at the end of the day, it is, I suspect, an issue that simply cannot
be resolved by legislation. There is over-sensitivity by one side,
underappreciation of the impact by the other side. There are so many
ways in which anyone can identify themselves as part of a "victim"
group. Terms and usage change too rapidly for the law to keep up with:
think of the way in which "nigger" has changed, or "gay".

Most importantly, perhaps, this is an issue where the offence is not an
objective one and thus cannot ever be properly legislated. It is
determined in the victim's mind. Whether an offence is given and "hate"
is detected depends utterly on the context: who said it, who heard it,

Most importantly, perhaps, this is an issue where the offence is not an
objective one and thus cannot ever be properly legislated. It is
determined in the victim's mind. Whether an offence is given and "hate"
is detected depends utterly on the context: who said it, who heard it,
what the relationship is between the two, what the given situation is.
Making it the court's job to prove a state of mind.
Like proving one is an atheist or a theist.

That does not change the fact that there is no right to not be
offended. It doesn't mean that what one thinks should be a crime.
As a member of society, you have a moral responsibility not to offend
anyone.
Bullshit. If you want to be free from offense, lock yourself in a
padded cell. And especially, stay away from the innernetz.
No. As a member of civil society, everyone has the right not to be
insulted in his or her normal everyday life. The reason we choose to
live in a modern civil society is its guarantee for our freedom and
safety. This isn't about politics. This is the basic human right like
water and air. Your political freedom of speech is respected, but it
should not be at the cost of my basic human right not to be insulted
because I look funny. If you ignore my right not to be insulted, I can
disregard your freedom of speech in the exact same way.
Where would I find that supposed right enumerated?
It's not even in your book of magic spells.
Such right is what you need for yourself when you find yourself in a
similar situation.

It's about respecting your fellow citizen and respecting yourself.
When your own moral value doesn't help you to understand this, the
society you are living in has a responsibility to teach you a lesson.
Now the lesson might be too harsh to make it a hate crime, but a more
appropriate lesson may still be needed.
Respect is an amorphous thing. It can mean whatever the indignant
offendee wants it to mean.
No, this has nothing to do with revenge from the other side. I'm not
taking side. I'm speaking as a member of society for everybody's interest.

Allowing people to express their political views is the reaso for free speech. We want to be able to allow stupidity to be shown for what is.

I find it much more appropriate to laugh at them. Then they know I'm not buying it and unless they attack me nobody gets hurt.

I expect people who see swastikas to get upset. Anybody who doesn't understand by now what kind of ghastly monsters the Nazis were and are is unlikely to beaten into submission.

I oppose the use of force other than in self-defense.

Count Dankula put up a video of something he thought was funny.
It was not a Nazi call to arms or an invitation to violate anyone's rights.

That he could actually be jailed for it is insane.

Of course I know what the Nazis stand for. Political speech is what the first amendment is all about. It's actions that are criminal, not speech, unless the speech is also an action as in burning the flag.

Certainly this Count Dankula is not advocating Nazism or persecution of Jews.

I predict he will appeal and win.

We do have laws against speech that advocates the overthrow of the government by force or violence as I recall.

We have Nazi speech occurring everyday.

It doesn't convince enough people to pose a threat. Personal freedom is too great an inducement away from such tyranny and stupity.

Plus it failed the first time.
Looks bad on a resume´.

If we let them speak then we know who they are. Letting them speak doesn't mean we shouldn't keep an eye on them.

I've already talked about limits on speech such as yelling fire in a crowded theatre. I'm talking about political speech which is the main reason for the first amendment. Political speech being punished in the countries where the founders came from was something they wanted to protect.

I'm as far from a Nazi sympathizer as it is possible to be and I'm far from naive.

We have forces at work at any given time that follow and infiltrate those whose speech could be considered dangerous.
But we don't stop the speech we punish the actions.

I only advocate that all political speech that is not advocating the violent overthrow of the government be allowed to speak. It's the best way to see how good or bad their ideas may be.

There is no sign anywhere that Nazism is undergoing a resurgence or that there is any reason to fear that they ever will again.

But we do keep an eye on their activities to make sure that they aren't undertaking such action.

Allowing unpopular speech is one of the key components of a free society.

The whole purpose of free speech is to let everyone know what they stand for and allow free people to make up their own minds.
It's also the reason that people like David Duke will never be in the white house.

All ideas tend to change and evolve, but the evil of Nazism left a very bad taste and allowing them to speak is an excellent reminder of why that is.

I'm not afraid of Nazism, because I don't believe any country in the world would be stupid enough for them to say let's give it another try.

For every Nazi voice there are 10 thousand speaking or willing to speak in opposition.

There is no real upside to limiting speech and Nazis were firm believers in doing just that.

We've already seen how good Nazi ideas are; Nazis advocate violence and
you advocate giving them another chance. It's not a free-speech/new-idea issue.

Where did I advocate giving the another chance?
All ideas tend to change and evolve, but the evil of Nazism left a very bad taste and allowing them to speak is an excellent reminder of why that is.
I'm not afraid of Nazism, because I don't believe any country in the world would be stupid enough for them to say let's give it another try.
For every Nazi voice there are 10 thousand speaking or willing to speak in opposition.
Not in, for example, Austria.
The race fascist party looks like getting elected again
in Hungary, too.
And Poland.

And of course the number isn't anything like ten thousand
to one anywhere. Even in Israel.
Where they have Kosher fascists.
And Halal Nazis on the other side of the border.
Must be tough to goose step while wearing a dish dash.

Cloud Hobbit is 60+ years old but in these "free speech" and other
libertarian issues he has the intellect of a seventh grader.

It seems that teaching your dog to give Nazi salute and posting the
video of said teaching is a hate crime.

Sometimes the law is an ass.
Political Correctness is going to kill us if we let it.

Fifty million people were killed in a war started by Nazis; memories (and
emotional responses) remain.
Grow up, dickhead.
Gawd you're dumb! Ain't no skin off my ass, though. Stay stupid.

But just a word of friendly advice: Move to Iran. You'll feel more at home
there.

Nazis were and still are rather unpopular in Scotland.
