  3. This one excellent example of why a nation needs a written Constitution and an independent judiary to tule whether such laws violate said constitution. Sometimes free speech is in some peoples opinion hateful and hurtful. To bad, so sad. We do not get to live our life cushioned in bubble wrap only hearing those thoughts expressed we completely agree with. There are other aspects to free speech and being willing to listen to just what your opponents say. One is so that you understand what they are saying. Not what you think they are saying. The second is they may be right (1) and you are wrong. 1) Right as correct on the issue what ever it is. I hate the Left Right political view of the world. Labeling someone as Left or Right much less Far Left or Right on a particular issue causes people to assume that the persons views on all issues line up as that side of the political spectrum. A far better way of discribing a persons or groups political, social and economic leanings is a two or even three axis system. Even then seperate issues may need their own charts. One example could be foreign policy. The X or horizontal axis might be interventionist on one side and non involvement on the other. The Y axis would be the response. Say a nation or NGO interfers with your countries trade. The response could be anything from bowing to any demands to full on war with negotiations in the middle. And yes l was thinking of the Houthis in Yemen. One reason is even Gaza is resolved tomorrow the Houthis are not going away. They realize that they are sitting on a major choke point in world trade. If they make demands and cause enough inconvienence there will be nations that are willing to agree. Say they demand a "toll" of a certain percentage of the value of the ship and cargo. If such a "toll" is paid theship can pass freely. If not. Well this sure us a nice ship you have here. It would be a shame if something happened to it. The legal term is Protection Racket.
