Time For The World To HATE Hate Speech

If you watched the latest episode of my show on Mevio & StickAM (Such as it admittedly was :) *Embarrassed Look* *LOL!*) last week, you saw me bring up the subject of HATE SPEECH.

Well I believe it bears repeating here.

Hate speech is (To quote former President George H.W. Bush when he introduced his Drug Czar to America) A SCOURGE which MUST be stamped out. Those who persist in engaging in it must also be stamped out as well.

How do we stamp out Hate Speech & those who persist in engaging it you ask? Simple.

DO NOT GIVE IT & THOSE WHO PERSIST IN ENGAGING IN IT THE TIME OF DAY. Just ignore it. Ignore those who persist in engaging in it too.

By doing this, you don't perpetuate it in your response. Not only that, but you deprive THE ONE THING those who persist in engaging in Hate Speech NEED in order to continue doing it - AN AUDIENCE.

As long as you respond to Hate Speech, you give those who persist in engaging in it an audience. By depriving them of an audience, you deprive them of the incentive to engage in it. Once they lose the incentive, they'll eventually move on to more constructive things.

It's not rocket science folks. IT IS COMMON SENSE.

That said, let me close with a discalimer - While I'm favor of FREE SPEECH, that belief DOES NOT extend to HATE SPEECH. There IS a difference between the two.
