Censor Hate Speech?, Censor Sign Language? Ban News?

News today brings legislation proposals in European Union to ban "hate speech".Google, Facebook, Twitter and others would be compelled to shut down "hate sites".Ridding the world of hate has been tried before. Problem is one mans hate is another mans passionate lifes work of love of freedom.So lets takes this a bit further. Voila! No hate speech has been done.Right now its gone.But will there still be news coverage?So if we see in streaming real time news coverage people getting blown up by laser bombs from planes not readily visible. Or we see in real time a beheading or a suicide squad blowing up a building in Europe. Would those signs be in themselves be "hate signs" How to you ban sign language?Who will interpret whether the sign language is hateful?Would the ultimate censorship be no reporting of the news?Would that stop hate?I would suggest NO WAR WITHOUT A NATIONAL REFERENDUM as one way to stop the spread of hate.

James D. Watson: Spoke The Truth

Dr. Watson shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for describing the double-helix structure of DNA . Recently Dr. Watson wrote a book titled, " Avoid Boring People: Lessons From A Life In Science". Also recently Dr . Watson said , " Overall people of African descent are not as intelligent as people of European descent". I applaud Dr. Watson's scientific contributions, wit and insight.

But it would seem that I'm in the vocal minority. The prigs of political correctness have judged his remarks about the African race to be racist. Therefore academic institutions including Rockefeller University have cancelled scheduled speeches by the 79 year old ,honest and brilliant man.

The truth of his remarks about Africans is self-evident in historical records. It does not make Africans necessarily inferior . He only said that by WESTERN INTELLIGENCE STANDARDS, Africans didn't measure up . Africans have their own standards. Whose standard is more accurate depends on where one lives and what one values.
