  |  and targeting a victim based on his being a member of a specific group of people is A MITIGATING FACTOR. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance. Bigotry is a social disease. Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage." | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Ummmm... no.. that would be an aggravating factor. It shows that the defendant could represent a random threat to anybody who is, or who he percives to be (fill in the blank.) It's common freakin' sense that you don't want people like that running around on the streets. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I will agree that everybody has his or her veiw on this very subject, and are unwilling to change it. I freely admit that I will not change mine. The whole form of our arguments could be made for many of the thread topics on this forum. Gun Regulation, for example. Religion, for another example. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Hate Crime,Freedom of Hate Speech Covers Alot. Many individuals seem to always love to use words that projects bitter, and can cause great harm to others who may not agree with what is being said. From my understanding a hate crime can be any of the various crimes,such as (assault or defacement of property) when motivated by hostility to a victim as a group,and can be based on color,creed,gender,or sexual orientation. This can include freedom of speech whenever one may feel strongly about a matter, and along comes someone who dis-encourage or flatout dis-agree with what the person is saying. I attended a conference yesterday (Saturday) concerning the topic Affirmative Action. Opps!!!! My mistake I forgotten that this is about Freedom of Speech, but some of the questions that was talked about created a negative environment, and I felt that the freedom to ask and get answers was violated. (Later Read details under Affirmative Action). As far as I am concerned whenever there's a dis-agreement over a statement that I have posted (that's me expressing my own concern), and for some of you to say that I am being a racist or attacking is a violation. Whenever I register on a new forum I do read the terms of service, and I agree to them by checking yes I accept. No where in the agreement does it say I can't react when being attacked, but it does say about respecting other posters, and this is why I say Freedom of Hate Speech is a violation that covers alot. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| That's probably because these hate crime laws seem to be enforced on an Affirmative Action basis. | |||||||||||||||||||||
