Go to them and pick your favourite . <| sep |> I don ' t know if I can agree with this . I ' m hoping to study this stuff academically in the future my interest is more in the data and what it says , , rather than supporting one side or the other , and I suspect that UrbanRural divide was a more meaningful indicator . Washington P o s t e l e c t i o n e l e c t i onresultsfromcoasttocoast had decent map of this . I ' d like to see which model is better in terms of predictions through some linear regression models and such . Don ' t know if anyone has that data on their hands and is public with it however . <| sep |> I think it ' s pretty fair to say that limiting hate speech and literature has lessened the risk for , and hatred aimed at , certain races , cultures , etc . It hasn ' t eliminated entirely , and I ' m not sure anything ever will . However , most , if not all , are better off than they were before these rules were brought in . I think any rational person would be hard pressed to disagree with that . Is it nebulously defined ? Sure . I ' m certainly glad that it isn ' t up to me to determine what is acceptable and what ' s not because it ' s a monumental task and there is absolutely no way to make everyone happy the discussion surrounding this article is a great example . Balancing the right to free speech and the right to not be discriminated against based on things completely out of your control is all but impossible . Thre is definitely a difference between not allowing certain terms and forcing someone to say certain terms , and that ' s what I have trouble wrapping my head around , as stated earlier in this conversation . At the end of the day , free speech is extremely important and must be protected . If free speech has to include the right to berate someone based on their race , religion , etc . , I ' m out . We ' re much better off as a society by not allowing this . What people do behind closed doors within earshot of themselves is none of my business .
