We don't condone it, we simply refuse to muzzle it. Also, this guy hasn't called for gays to be beaten AFAIK. What kind of law judges a man based on things that third parties might theoretically extrapolate from what he says? -
I never said society should be accepting of people who want to see jews, muslims and gays slaughtered. What I don't want to do is have the government arrest such people and send them to prison, unless there is evidence that they actually plan to kill muslims, jews and gays.Originally posted by Asher View PostComment

There's no appreciable difference if you let people like that spread their propaganda.Originally posted by Elok View Post
Neither did most of the anti-Jew propaganda in Germany back in the day. But do you think such propaganda did not influence society's acceptance of the maltreatment of Jews?Also, this guy hasn't called for gays to be beaten AFAIK.
A sensible law that sees zero societal value in such comments and a very real (and historically proven) risk to the safety and well-being of many of its citizens.What kind of law judges a man based on things that third parties might theoretically extrapolate from what he says?
I think a lot of you would learn a lot if you studied Germany in the 20s and 30s and the power of publishing hateful propaganda against segments of society."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No one is sending anyone to prison here, or even giving them a criminal record. I've said this many times here.Originally posted by gribbler View Post
They get a fine. They aren't tried under criminal code (unless there is an actual plan to kill people, beat people, etc). They aren't given any criminal record. They aren't jailed.
They are fined.
Let's cut down the histrionics a bit and know what the **** you're talking about before continuing. Please."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The only time the man in the OP was ever arrested and jailed or charged with anything criminal was for violating laws (that the US & Canada both share) establishing the protective radius around abortion clinics.
He was arrested in both the US and Canada for this. Not just Canada."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

A fine is enough to shut up a fanatic who wants to kill all the jews or beat up all of the gays...?Originally posted by Asher View PostComment

Reality check here: Canada is fining a man $17,500 for preaching that all gays are predatory pedophiles.
The US has fined CBS for the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" $500,000.
And it's the Americans that are pretending to take the high road."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I've already agreed with you that the FCC is fascist, unconstitutional and its censorship powers ought to be abolished. But that doesn't excuse flagrant Canadian transgressions either.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

How about Wiki?
Condonance may be made when an accuser has previously forgiven or condoned (in some way or at some level supported) the act about which they are complaining. In some legal jurisdictions, and for certain behaviors, it may prevent the accuser from prevailing.
Now, granted, Wiktionary does mention a secondary meaning of "allow or permit," but I would say that "excuse, forgive or overlook" is the far more common use of the word.
