Debate:Should Trump Outlaw Holocaust Denial in the United States? (view source)
Revision as of 02:22, August 29, 2019
, 02:22, August 29, 2019no edit summary
I support free speech one hundred percent. But I think Holocaust denial is where I draw the line. It's already illegal in the Jewish State, and in Canada, where I live, and in several European countries. We all remember being horrified, mortified, and disgusted by the Islamic Republic of Iran's "International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust" in 2006. Holocaust denial is evil. And this encyclopedia knows it. Just read the article on the matter.

I would say Yes, Trump should absolutely outlaw this disgusting, heinous, affront to humanity. But I want to know what others think, so please...debate.

:I usually don't comment on "debate" pages, but I strongly oppose any such ban -- it's a constitutional issue. The First Amendment protects free speech, even hate speech and fringe speech. If those types of speech were banned, it would nullify the entire speech portion of the amendment (the reason we have the amendment is to protect unpopular speech that would otherwise be silenced). Holocaust denial is terrible and false, but that doesn't justify banning it (leftists have the mindset where if they think something's good, they want to make it mandatory, and if it's bad in their opinion, they want to ban it outright). Constitutionally and practically, Trump can't and shouldn't outlaw this form of thought/speech, no matter how perverse. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 22:22, 28 August 2019 (EDT)
