Document Summary
One of the worst things that you can do to make someone give up their beliefs, is force them to, because it will not work, and only make them hold on to those beliefs even more. The government tries to end social discord by promising to protect all groups from prosecution instead of threatening to prosecute one side. This should work for everything if it works for religious groups. Freedom of expression is not something invented to take down groups. Is used to maintain peace in a multicultural society. Helps us get along on any limits about what we are allowed to say. People believe that we should not be free to say anything that we want in any way: may(cid:271)e (cid:449)e should(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:271)e free to say things in an insulting or derogatory manner. Say what you want but you have to be nice about it.
