Obviously not, but this is supposed to be a joke thread..yes? There's nothing funnier than this very real and very modern notion of hate speech as espoused by hate speakers. This thread could go on for 1k pages and no one will come close to topping their hilarious idiocy.
I think that they all missed their calling in standup.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Thanks for that. I was going to reply earlier, but thought that might be a bit humourless of me.
Hate speech is not something I'm willing to joke about .
In Oz, we have anti hate speech laws. I do not support them.
Imo, freedom of speech must include the freedom to offend. I believe we all have an absolute right to be offended. We do not have a right NOT to be offended.
"You're offended? So fucking what?" Stephen Fry.
Freedom of speech is not the same as licence. I accept that it does not include the right to yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre. Nor does it include the right to incite violence...
The clip below features Rowan Atkinson ,Ricky Gervais and Stephen Fry on freedom of speech

A quote commonly attributed to Noam Chomsky says: "We don't have freedom of speech so that we can talk about apple pie." Freedom of speech is about rocking the boat and questioning society. Not about "saying random things we wish to say."
PS: I have done a bit of research and cannot verify that this is Chomsky's quote. (Though I've heard that it is from multiple sources.) If anyone can provide info, it would be would be helpful.

One thing I've often said is that you should have freedom of speech, however ignorant or stupid it is. And others have the right to call you out on what you say. You're not free from the consequences of expressing your ideas/opinions
