Because "hate speech" is a hell of a nebulous term.
Because the line between hate-speech and unpopular speech can get pretty thin, and banning unpopular speech is bad.

Wow, that guy sounds like a super-goose.
to Queen Frag
and her mighty state of hysteria.
The Wall is objectively terrible.
It's not even a Pink Floyd record, even.
That's why you gotta trust your courts of law to be able to make that distinction.
I do not. I installed mods that made headshots deadly and removed bullet bending. Where you shoot is where you hit. So I took the RPG out of the combat.

As far as I'm concerned, let the Nazis march in Skokie.
Free speech, it's important.
The Wall is awesome.
And so is all the rest of Roger Waters solo work!
it is so a pink floyd album, says so right on the margin
worth pointing out that the US politicizes their courts to the point that you can't trust them to enforce the law sanely because it might harm their re-election campaign
Yeah we had that in fifth gradetriggered my "pull out 300 page novel and ignore everything until we moved on to something that mattered" reflex
I hate you.
You are wrong.
You cannot have an objective opinion, stop doing that.
it was actually the most tense millisecond of my life
it was one of those lights-out punches, he was drunk and didn't stand a chance
and for a split second after I dropped him I thought "oh god, I'm one of like 3 straight guys here and i just knocked out a gay dude what am i going to do where is the door oh shit"
and then people started cheering and i was so relieved
Only state courts, and not all of those. Every single federal judge (well, except tax and bankruptcy judges, but those are irrelevant for these purposes) serves subject to good behavior.
that's his point
he's half-jokingly saying that the Wall's badness is a true fact
In the case of The Wall, you can if you think it's terrible. Because it is. Objectively.
In the beginning. By your early to mid teens you're swimming in ammo though.
It is good to take pride in the place where you live.
It is unfortunate that overzealousness of the proud sometimes has the opposite effect on the people around them.
If it's predicated on something objective, sure. Like the loudness wars are objectively terrible.
Acted in 1995. That's why.
Less archaic than pledging allegiance to people, which was the old version. Actually, I think Commonwealth citizens sometimes still have to swear loyalty to the Queen. I'm almost certain Governors-General do.
Then the system is flawed, not the law.
One is naturally a lot easier to change than the other but a flawed system is no way to govern people in the long-term.
I think most western countries should go about updating their systems of government. Won't happen, but Government 2.0 would be nice.
ProfM. I hate you. A lot.
Aint nothin wrong with shoving gold medals in other countries faces
also USA USA USA is a pretty rad chant
all other country chants suck in comparison

I tend to think, in general, that you should be able to at least make an educated guess as to whether engaging in a given activity breaks the law.
My issues with the UK legislation are also a lot to do with the fact that they were basically crafted entirely and specifically to appease tabloid ire directed at Abu Hamza. The fact that in doing so he was elevated from everyday crank to legendary figure is also something of an annoyance.
I will still sing certain songs randomly if they pop in my head.
It's the only way to make everyone happy.
The reasonable requirement doesn't mean that the administrator has to believe violence will happen. Simply that it's more likely to happen. Or that he'll end up with a sufficient enough of a screaming match that class will be disrupted. Is it really that unreasonable to believe that those t-shirts wouldn't be seen as aggressively confrontational given the raised emotional levels? Even Tinker leaves that as an out for school administrators. And we're also debating this as if the students in question are "good" students. For all we know they may not be. If they or one has a history of fighting then it's without question the right call to make.
Our cool chant doesn't make up for us having a shitty anthem.
u objectively mad
I wish all tabloids would just die.
All of them.
Also all politically biased newspapers.
They are worthless, how are you meant to form a valid opinion about an issue if the data has already been processed to favour one party over another?
I really do have reasons for not liking it.
For one, it's a Roger Waters album, and that guy is shit without Gilmour. Secondly, it's the worst kind of concept album. The kind where themes are used without variation, pointless songs to move the "story" along, and, probably one of the worst crimes committed against music, this is the album with Run like Hell on it. Also at the point in time of The Wall Water's singing voice had grown into this really nasally and unlistenable whine. Finally, it's way way waaaaay too 80's in it's production.
Now. There are some really good songs on that album. Sadly 5 songs out of... what? 27 total? Yeah. That's not a good album.
The lesson I took away from my youthful experience of pledges was essentially that they are things nobody ever expects anybody to take seriously.
