The people have a right to form their own opinions about everything. We can like what we want and dislike what we want. We can love what we want and hate what we want. You have the right to hate the government, school, diseases, and cures for those diseases. You can hate certain ideologies, religions, races or countries, corporations or governing systems. You can hate people you know or people you don't know and you can hate the actions they take and the things they say. You can hate racists and racism, and you can hate hate itself. Or, you could love all those things, or not care. Your opinions are yours.
Free speech includes expressing hate. (This debate is intended to be about the USA where this is true)
So, why should there be special laws for "hate crimes" that give harsher punishments than the same crime if the perpetrator had or expressed different opinions?
