Document Summary
Does this cause harm; they do but how can you draw a distinction between hate speech and criticism. Another way to see it: there is a distinction between, self-regarding: cannot be punished, should not be regaled regarding actions: affects another person somehow, can be regulated. If you hear something false, you have to argue against it: good thing to have circulating because it keeps us on our toes, prevents true opinion from becoming dogmas, dogma: an unchallenged opinion loses meaning, eg. Campus speech: conservative speeches not allowed to speak bad you should allow them to come and speak, debate should be allowed in universities should be a place for dogma. Lets just have a polite conversion these people will be our down fall. If people pick and chose values than values would become less valuable: we have values and cultural traditions sacro-saint, we all should believe in the american way.
