It's interesting to see the different views of freedom of speech in other parts of the "free" world.

Quote:

"In Australian law we have very open debate on most subjects, but that debate does not include a right to insult and abuse and humiliate people based on their race and ethnicity," Jones told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Damn honkies.

(are they going to issue a warrant for my arrest in Australia now?)

Certainly, holocaust denial is pernicious and evil IMO, but it ought to be fought in the free market of ideas.

It would seem there is really only one place where freedom of speech is truly practiced.

That said, we need to make sure there is no Fairness Doctrine, otherwise, we lose freedom of speech.
