I'm not sure where the line is. I'm not sure where it should be. I just know that I personally think the line should be as close to "you can pretty much say anything you want" as it can possibly be.

you'll be happy to know the courts agree with you.

Me too, but I also don't belong to any immediately recognizable group that has suffered from majority f-ckwits heckling them day in and day out, with a history of hardcore discrimination behind it. I'm sure that colors my view.

I'm in a similar position.

But for me, a person's words, and even their actions and the people they hang out with are, in poker parlance, extremely good "tells" as to what you are dealing with when you confront these people. I don't consider myself exceptionally perceptive. If people want to provide me with self-identifiers, I appreciate it.

Doesn't Charlie Hebdo do that with a lot of events? I remember they did the Italian earthquake victims as different pasta dishes.

IINM Hebdo has a history of being deliberately provocative to emphasize that they support full freedom of expression, even if the expression is awful. This is particularly galling to authorities in Europe where there is less of an emphasis on the individual right of expression in some ways -- for example, that you can actually be found guilty of a criminal offense for throwing a banana at an African soccer player. Europeans are a lot more worried about far right hate groups because no sh-t.

WW2 Deaths, upper end estimate, in millions:

27.0 USSR
 7.0 Germany
 6.0 Poland
 1.7 Yugoslavia
 0.8 Greece
 0.6 France
 0.6 Hungary
 0.5 Italy
 0.5 Romania
 0.5 UK
 0.4 USA

Combat deaths? Cause if you count civilians I know Russia and Germany's counts should go way up.

Trump has a worse chance of going 4 years than Justin Upton has of winning a World Series as a Tiger. His approval is still on a downward slide (after blowing through every record), his cabinet is in open defiance, he's made enemies of everyone in Washington, he's impatient, thin-skinned, old, and probably sick. And he has ZERO respect for traditions of the office. He's going to quit. Depending who he blames for his ultimate failure ("the media" is probably too nebulous to matter) we could see a spasm of terrorist acts when he does.

That's everybody, according to the chart and source(s).

Play the ball, not the man.

Huh... that's odd. Usually when I'm correcting children, I'm telling them play the man not the puck. Go figure.

Valid, but the biggest thing is still simply that Euros give more consideration to the rights of the group over those of the individual. Americans, having originally come here seeking individual religious freedoms, have done the opposite ever since. So I'd suggest at least the general difference predates WWII by quite a bit. Things like free speech, freedom of religion, etc. are codified individual rights here that don't really exist in European law.

The wellspring of liberties and rights of the individual comes out of Western European liberalism (the continental kind) in the 17th and 18th centuries. The US was a political incarnation of European ideals that had been around for 150 years before 1776, both in the colonies but also in the European intellectual community. The American experiment was putting European theories (Burke, Montesqui) into practice and enshrining them in governmental institutions. Institutions now under attack by neo-feudalists who are trying to destroy democratic representation.

Even the experiment had already been successfully achieved in Europe (in the Netherlands) 100 years before the American Revolution. The idea that American individual freedom is in any way exceptional is pure myth.

When I'm correcting children, it's usually on the proper way to spell Gandhi, and that they are in fact, racist gaping *******s.
