No - that's inciting to riot. Has nothing to do with "hate speech".

Insert

I understand what you are saying, but they are different.

For instance:

If I called a group of people "vegetarian tree hugging salad suckers"
and they are incensed enough to riot, that's inciting a riot.

If I say the same thing and they don't riot, is that still hate
speech?
Okay, I now understand that you merely want to be obtuse, and purposely
"not get
it".

Not at all - it's a perfectly valid question.

To wit: What constitutes "hate speech".

Let's try something different then.

Let's say that during the course of a conversation here, that I make a
comment about Christian Conservatives - say "all Christian
Conservatives are retarded". Further, let's say that I am offended by
that comment.

Would that be hate speech?

Nope.

Why not?

Because it's true?

I'm not gonna take sides here, but perhaps the Supreme Court will
eventually
define hate speech not by what is said, but by the reaction to what is
said.

I didn't change the subject. After your many evasive manuvers to avoid the
truth, I thought I would give you another possible way to look at things without
completely losing face.

Unfortunate that you can't seem to define what you claim you know.

Saying that you know it when you see it is not only infantile, it
shows a complete lack of intellectual honesty.

Sad really.

the food unappealing. They took that to heart and experimented with
their fries doing all kinds of neat things to them finally settling on
the current look.

The Air Force also did the famous green steak experiment in which
vegetables were brown (and perfectly edible - they were colored
differently) and the steak was green. All the Airmen involved
reported that the steak tasted like broccoli and the veggies (I forget
what they were) tasted like steak.

Brightly colored foods frequently seem to taste better than
bland-looking foods, even when the flavor compounds are identical.
Foods that somehow look off-color often seem to have off tastes.

As to feeling colors...

Embattled Interior official resigns post
5/1/2007, 7:06 p.m. ET
By MATTHEW DALY
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Interior Department official accused of pressuring
government scientists to make their research fit her policy goals has
resigned.

Julie MacDonald, deputy assistant secretary for fish, wildlife and parks,
submitted her resignation letter to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, a
department spokesman said Tuesday.

MacDonald resigned a week before a House congressional oversight committee
was to hold a hearing on accusations that she violated the Endangered
Species Act, censored science and mistreated staff of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.

MacDonald was recently rebuked by the department's inspector general, who
told Congress in a report last month that she broke federal rules and
should face punishment for leaking information about endangered species to
private groups.

Interior Department spokesman Hugh Vickery confirmed MacDonald's
resignation but declined to comment further.

Environmentalists cheered the departure of MacDonald, who they say tried
to bully government scientists into altering their findings, often without
scientific basis.

"Julie MacDonald's reign of terror over the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
is finally over," said Kieran Suckling, policy director of the Center for
Biological Diversity. "Endangered species and scientists everywhere are
breathing a sigh of relief."

MacDonald, a civil engineer with no formal training in natural sciences,
had served in her post since 2004. She was a senior adviser in the
department for two years before that.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said MacDonald had "betrayed the mission she swore
to uphold," adding that her actions "undermined both the work and the
integrity of the Fish and Wildlife Service and its many dedicated
employees."

Wyden placed a hold Monday on President Bush's nomination of Lyle Laverty
to be assistant Interior secretary for fish, wildlife and parks until
allegations against MacDonald were resolved.

The inspector general's report said MacDonald tried to remove protections
for a rare jumping mouse in the Rocky Mountains based on a questionable
study, and reduced by 80 percent the amount of streams to be protected to
help bull trout recover in the Pacific Northwest.

MacDonald also pressured the Fish and Wildlife Service to alter findings
on the Kootenai River sturgeon in Idaho and Montana so dam operations
would not be harmed, the report said.

Synesthesia

Interesting you should bring that up.

I have absolute perfect pitch - which is not considered synesthesia
unless it's coupled with something.

In my case, it's color - I see the key of C as red, A as blue and so
on. Chords are also colors and the really odd thing is that they don't
match the notes. I don't see colors in numbers, but I do see colors
in letters and words - both vowels and nouns.

Somehow it's related to my dyslexia disorder - or at least that's what
some witch doctors think. :)

The interesting thing (stop me if this is TMIland) is that the letter
colors actually helped me overcome the dyslexia - I came to associate
the correct combinations by the colors. I don't even notice it now
that I'm "of an age" and it's only when the subject comes up that I
start to pay attention to it.

Oh well, enough about me. I mean, I know this is always about me, but
I'm willing to give up space to others. :)
