I've had some questions on my mind lately that I think more of us should contemplate.
- Do you think racists or people who believe in the superiority of their own group and the inferiority of other groups should be punished for expressing their hateful opinions if they didn't act on them?
- do you think there should be limits to free speech? If so, what should they be? who decides? What should be the consequences of violating those limits?
- if you believe in a particular religion: someone ridicules your most sacred beliefs and publishes articles/ cartoons etc.. trashing your religion/ God/ holiest figure. do you think they should be punished? How harshly? Is it ok for them to be executed? Would you kill them yourself? Would you watch them get killed? Would you wish secretly that someone kills them?
- An African American radical group attacks and kills a bunch of white supremacist KKK members. People go out in the streets in anti terrorist demonstrations holding 'I am the KKK' signs. Would you go out with them? Would you hold such a sign?
- a radical anti women rights group publishes extreme anti woman opinions, e.g : "women are inferior subhumans. Women should be raped, women should be bought and sold. "
Do you think this group should be allowed to keep expressing such opinions?
- a group belonging to a religious cult believes- and expresses their beliefs: that the whole world needs to follow that cult. That anyone from this cult who leaves the cult should be killed. Do you think this cult should be outlawed? Do you think the members should be punished? What kind of punishment?
- a zionist group demonstrates chanting : 'Palestinians are not humans' , 'death to all Arabs', etc.. Do you think they should get killed? Do you secretly wish someone would blow them up?
