Personally, I think so. I have Jewish ancestry from my mothers side along with Aboriginal (black) heritage from my father's side, so I'm not biased on this topic either.
I honestly don't care what people say regarding my ethnic backgrounds, and I wish other people would too (yeah yeah people have feelings tho). Besides, you either allow all forms of speech or allow no forms of speech. You either have one or the other, governments shouldn't just pick and choose what people can say.
In Australia, all forms of discrimination are illegal, and it's not fair to others with certain views. Sure, they're not "mainstream" views and beliefs, but the ghost costume people have rights to say what they want about blacks and Jews regardless of what others may say.
and finally, i'm not against and race, religion or culture. i just think everyone deserves the right to free speech, regardless of what it is. |

| Abusive speech, said to the victim of course, should be regulated. I honestly don't care if the K/K/K members talk to each other about how much black people suck in their opinions, but they can't go up and actually tell a black man he's the scum of the earth or something. |

"but they can't go up and actually tell a black man he's the scum of the earth or something."
But that's free speech. I don't believe what they do, but they should have a right to say what they believe in without fear of persecution.
Besides, how many blacks go on and on about whites with no consequences? Too many. |

| Shouldn't be free if it's just to attack a person or people. Also black people shouldn't be allowed to make hate speech about white people as well. |

Regardless of whether you like it or not, it's free speech. The rights of others shouldn't end when someone's feelings get offended.

| Being healthy in all ways is a right. That is why we need free healthcare. Your rights end where you infringe on others' rights. |

"Being healthy in all ways is a right. That is why we need free healthcare."
This is something I agree with. However, taxes will go up as a result so you'll see a lot of people disapprove of free health care.
"Your rights end where you infringe on others' rights."
free speech isn't an infringement of others rights.
again, i'm not racist. i'm ethnically jewish and part black so i've got a fair understanding of what discrimination is right. race doesn't give people a right to infringe on the rights of others though. |

| Mental health is as much of a right as "free speech" is. This is coming from an anti-SJW, keep in mind. Most SJWs use hate speech more than other people. |

free healthcare does jack crap
I live in the uk and the NHS is about as good at treating mental illness as bedlam was. |

If someone can't immediately get free psychological help from professionals (which you can't, even in Canada where healthcare is "free"), then speech must be regulated. Just like you can't assault people, you shouldn't be allowed to verbally assault people too.
The reason why ra/pe is illegal is, in fact, because it infringes on others' mental health. If you ra/pe someone and it didn't physically hurt him/her, it's still illegal. |

FEELINGS ARE NEVER A GOOD OR JUSTIFIABLE REASON TO INFRINGE RIGHTS!
This is the one undeniable truth that underpins any free democratic state on gods good earth that is worth its salt. |

| Then we should legalize ra/pe, as long as it doesn't physically hurt, hm? |

Stop being fallacious. ra/pe and mental health are totally different things that's like someone linking knife crime rates to gun ownership and saying
"all gun owners support knife crime because they own guns and guns can be used in violent crime" |

| Ra/pe is illegal because of mental health. It infringes on victims' right to be mentally healthy. |
