Freedom of Hate-Speech

I found myself agreeing with what Alan M. Dershowitz had to say about the limits of speech. I especially found myself agreeing with the point he made that if speech that is offensive to one group of people is prohibited, then speech to all groups of people must be prohibited. I agree with this because when you prohibit one group and not another, you have an inequality, which is not equal. This article reinforced my views about freedom of speech. I was Re-reading posts and comments from last week, and most seemed to agree with the idea that speech should not be prohibited. I still feel strongly about this, and feel often that too many people complain about things that are said about them. People should remember that they have the same right to say things back to those people as long as they don’t cross the lines of harassment.
