here we go...
A number...
such as the first amendment.
I would like to propose the banning of alcoholic beverages. My argument: the 21st Amendment.
And what exactly is your point? That constitutional guarantees of rights are not absolute? Cause I knew that from Schenck v. United States. Or that the constitution can be amended and portions removed? Cause I knew that too. Quite frankly, I fail to see the point you're trying to make.
Freedom of speech has never been unlimited in any nation, for various reasons, and that includes the United States. The United States is actually rather unusual in its liberal view on hate speech laws. The more people who are allowed to advocate discrimination, the more people their message can influence. We're not exactly quashing a rebellion here, or censoring people from criticizing the government. This is about preventing people from attempting to further goals that reduce the civil rights of innocent people, or even have them killed or brainwashed.
Goalpost shift. We are clearly talking about implementing them in the United States. See here
You mean you think we should have hate speech laws? If someone is convicted of hate speech, would punishment would they face?
Bolded for emphasis. But, then you asked this question specifically
Is there any argument against it that isn't a slippery slope fallacy?
And I answered the question. I presented a reason why they couldn't be implemented in the United States, because they're unconstitutional. In the link you posted, if you look at it, it mentions Brandenburg v. Ohio. That is a staple of free speech law in this country, if a I recall, a 9-0 decision. I would be surprised if it is overturned in our lifetimes. But of course, then you goalpost shift by saying, "well, lets ignore this reason, now why can't we?".
The real irony in this is using nothing but the First Amendment to support allowing free hate speech in the United States, when you would immediately attempt to brutally dismantle a pro-gun rights argument that used nothing but the Second Amendment. Maybe even using very similar text as I had above here.
Regardless, this isn't an argument about gun rights.
I love how you removed Ravy's post from the quote. You know, where he says "the Constitution only matters when its convenient. You know,
like the Bible." clearly showing he is, and by proxy I am, JOKING. But this shows your hand, you're looking to argue for argument sake.
Second Amendment...isn't that the one saying I can shoot any commie pinko I see? Or was that the one declaring America a Christian Nation?
DISCLAIMER, MAKING A JOKE BECAUSE PEOPLE DO THAT: Ravy, it does both. That is the wonder of the Second Amendment, God gave it to us to protect our Christian nation by living in paranoia about "outsiders."
