    Try denying the Holocaust in Canada or Germany, versus say the U.S.

    I live in Canada and I prefer our regulated form of free speech, but it’s not US free speech.

    And if you weren’t so enraged by thinking I’m an american saying that the US is the only land of the free speech, you would have seen that I was making the dudes, and Germany’s point. He’s asking to bring those laws here, but they already exists. Just not in the US

    You can be pedantic and argue semantics, we all know what kind of free speech we are talking about here.

      Your freedom stops at the exact moment, it limits other people’s freedom. There may be exceptions, e.g. talking shit about someone vs. talking about facts. Freedom isn’t unlimited and shouldn’t be. If you think otherwise, where do we stop? Why is my freedom to randomly murder other people not granted by the state and why do I get in prison for doing it? I have the freedom to do as I please and no-one should stop me!

        You’re being dumb. I didn’t invent the US’ definition of free speech. Go argue with them.

        And you’re onto freedom of murder there, I think you’re a little lost.
