Show of Hands

What makes an action a hate crime? A cross burning would signify hate toward a group, yes. What does it signify when people from another country burn an American flag here? Could that also relay hate? Or someone burning a Mexican flag? At what point

Should we start silencing people?

... burning a cross is generally done as a form of harassment towards individuals (such as the black family that just moved in).

Protest against the government is constitutionally protected. Harassment of people is not constitutionally protected.

The Supreme Court agrees with you, I have to admit, I did find the difference in these results odd. More people are in favor of allowing cross burning as free speech.

But less people liked this question :'(

These polls made me think about where the limit for free speech is. Do you have a suggestion? Where's your limit?

I wish I knew. It's a fine line. And it breaks my heart that hateful people/groups are protected. Like the westboro church protests.

Yes they are a disgrace. But I would say they have a cause unlike some of the flag or cross burning, which in my opinion is just to cause controversy.

True.

Yes!

But mostly - yes

Because of their property or their race?

Both

You know my opinion :-)

Lol, yes I do

I wonder what it would take to get more to vote no. I don't know if your followers are liberal or libertarian or what's up with these results.

Thankfully, I have a nice mix of all parties, don't think this would be a decent representation of America if I didn't.
