Allowing full freedom will allow people to say whatever they want, which will annoy others, leading to conflict, leading to violence, leading to chaos which in the end leads to no peace.
Allowing full peace means taking certain freedoms away from people to prevent violence and to keep peace, meaning no full freedom.
No country has achieved peace and freedom, and no country ever will.
What would you prefer though?
Having the right to speak your mind without persecution or living without the threat of violence?
I'd prefer the latter.

The first.

| Suppressing people's ability to speak of racism won't prevent racism, it will just make the racists more angry. |

| Full freedom is always the better choice. Full peace = equality. Freedom should always be limited by what we know is bad such as murdering or stealing. But it should not be limited by anything else. We should be able to say a racist comment. Saying something does not kill nor steal something from someone. The person who reacts to it may kill or steal but the person decided to react that one. They decided to kill or steal.It should be blamed on them not the person who made the racist comment. Once you start banning something as trivial as saying racist comment you are giving government a lot of power. Now government can literally do anything to you. Remember Humans by nature are evil. That is why government is a necessary evil. it is necessary because humans can't control them selves but it is evil because we are giving rights to a group of people. It is evil because someone is taking full control of your life. And that person is evil too. |

Full freedom = freedom to own slaves. Restricting slavery = taking away freedom. |

| Most of our countries seem alright. The motives of most violence are not 'insulting' and that stopepd being a crime about 40 years ago :) |

| Basically, this is how government controlling every aspect of life is justified. The government's purpose is to enforce the law, not control and supress every aspect of life. |
