It is speech only. Sticks and stones etc. What happened to freedom of SPEECH?

Precisely. There should be no official 'hatespeech'. People should be as free to be as callous as they want.

Of course, I believe we should also revive the concept of 'fighting words'.

Not only will those who desire to be offensive expose themselves for what they are, they would run the risk of having their teeth smacked in.

This could make it a crime to draw attention to a person's weight.

So, by this reasoning, the 5 foot, 275 lb person would be guilty of calling attention to their own obesity.

I guess using the term 'lard a$$' would find me guilty and in solitary confinement.

LOL. :)

For some reason, your tagline seems appropriate for this thread. Particularly since you brought up Michael Moore. ;)
