I see your point, but again, the issue is that it is likely to result in public unrest. Being homosexual, if I were to see somebody with a placard telling all queers to go to hell, I'd probably get fairly pissed and start an argument. Whilst I'm aware there's a difference between holding a placard and wearing a symbol, to some they will have the same effect. Arguments, fights, street brawls and perhaps even deaths could ensue.

I am bisexual and I to do take offense at statements such as gays to to hell, however I also see that it is an individual's right to hate. If they for example want to wear a tshirt with such a message I would think that they where complete idiots, but I would tolerate their views. I do not think that the way to change people's minds away from bigotry is to outlaw them from expressing their views. I mean they can turn right back and say, well I think it is offense to see two gays kiss, and then in addition to the hate that is already there they get a feeling of resentment as they feel unfairly treated. However by letting them have their views but working against such ignorance that way one can change minds.

It's a fine line between exercising your right to free speech and inciting a riot. If some moron decides to preach white supremacy in the middle of Harlem, he's going to cause big trouble that will inevitably involve the police. That sounds like inciting violence to me.

There is a fine line, however what crime an idiot preaching white supremacy Harlem is doing is not that he preach his views, it is that by action of doing it exactly there he is insulting people beyond just expressing personal views. I mean that if someone walk around with a I love bacon tshirt that might offend some Muslims and PETA, however they will just have to accept that. Going into a Mosque or for that matter PETA's yearly meet up however with said tshirt that I would say is begging for trouble and is far less acceptable.

I don't know the story behind banning the swastika in Norway, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear that every time some fool decides to wear one, he gets his butt kicked and has to be rescued by the cops. Maybe they got sick and tired of all the trouble it was causing.

It was outlawed after WW2 because it was the symbol of the Nazi, no other reason than that.

I wonder who the God of the horror cult is? Satan or Bruce Campbell?

I would say it would be fear itself, after all that is what we are searching for is to be scared so the God of horror have to be fear.
