Answer 1

They manage to make themselves look pretty silly most of the time. Let them say their piece. As soon as you try and ban them or censure them you attract attention to them. We should be able to debate issues like race, it is something many people have strong views about.

Answer 2

Living in a part of the "free world", freedom of speech is still one of the things that set us aside from rest of many countries. Now, instead of "taking a stand" against racists or any others who simply are ignorant on many issues_by ignorance I don't mean non-intelligent, but rather not knowing of issues they may be writing about, or rather trying to, but coming up only with insults, jokes, mockery, etc._, well I believe that they participate in these questions and answers simply because they want and need interaction with as many people as possible.

So let's interact with them: Let's answer their questions with correct, proper, and informing answers.

Answer 3

Please,and i ask this nicely,don,t miss the fact it can come from both sides.Usually when i hear these words racist,bigot,bnp and the rest,its easy just to see your side,or there side,and sometimes area to area can make a difference.What country your in makes a world of difference,and i for one would like to see less of this,as rather than suppress it encourages

Answer 4

They are useful reminders to people who would like to believe that there is no racism in the US . Too many young people who live is sheltered environments don't see it, so they deny racism still exist. Don't silence them, just think of them as an educational resource.

Answer 5

Acting as an agent provocateur,surely they have a right to express their opinions as much as you.The fact that you and probably the majority find them offensive doesn't neccessarily mean their views are to be suppressed.As long as they remain just views,no harm is done.What next - those with a different religious outlook,political viewpoint,don't like your pet - the list is endless.Don't forget that countless thousands of people have died to protect the right to free speech.If you don't like what they right,don't read it.

Answer 6

if you ain't happy, report what you have taken offence too and hope that something gets done! otherwise you will just have to find a way of fighting back!

they will do it on their pc's as its anonymous and they will never be seen,do you think any one of them would speak the way they type in here? course not as they would be six feet under!!!!

Answer 7

unfortunately its all down to freedom of speech. Its very easy to say what you want behind the anominity of your computer.
People are entitled to there opinion, but thats all it is, their opinion. You can just ignore it.

Answer 8

They could argue that its about time to take a stand against liberals. Your opinions are equally abhorrent to them as there's are to you, if there really offencive or dangerous report them there are rules for YA. But who's going to decide what constitutes racism .... you ?

And Dreams, Jesus your fit !!!!

Answer 9

That'd be about as simple as world peace.

Answer 10

Freedom of speech sucks doesn't it? Down with free speech, it offends the silly donkey.
