In the meantime, however, no real <i>action</i> is in fact <i>taken</i> in relation to genocide or other crimes against humanity that are taking place at this moment in time (and may have been continuing for years). An example would be the actions of the Sudanese government in their country. At home, then, we still have the ineffective - nay, useless - Incitement To Hatred legislation. It all sounds to me like guff, and I find it pathetic. (Gah! It's so frustrating! - End of rant.)

Its tragic. NAZI is an abbreviation for NATIONAL SOCIALIST.......and as Europe is wildly socialist they are always just a hairs bredth away from national socialism. And just what will the new national socialists outlaw in the way of speech? Without free speech you will have only the gun to rely on. Ohyes that's right, Europe has alot of gun control. So then....its a forgone conclusion. Europe will have yet another holocaust of some variety. Outlawing free speech is the best way you can be SURE that you will have more holocausts. Its tragic.
