#1 Is it still OK to incite hatred of brussel sprouts? Do I still have another decade to incite hatred against the kid who pushed me around in 4th grade?

Why do I get the feeling that "expressing disagreement with" will equate "inciting hatred against?"

#2 Since England no longer has any prison space to put anyone, adding new laws accomplishes nothing. Maybe they are trying to just declare all citizens criminals, to justify turning the whole country into a prison. Approaching the problem from the other direction, as it were.

#4 If you are not allowed to hate islam and not allowed to hate gay people you have a double-bind. This is exactly the sort of thing Kirk used to fry errant computers with.
