They highly value their European heritage and think their heritage is better. Many groups feel that way.

It's not just thier heritage they value, it's themselves. "Heritage" is a euphenism if ever I heard one. It's a racial hate site. I would be opposed to any kind of racial hate site, black, brown, yellow, or white.

What, the reponsibility to agree with you?

Reminds me of China's official "party" line & how last year's virulent anti-Japanese riots were heralded by Beijing as tolerance of "freedom" of speech & expression. Sure they support freedom of speech ... just so long as they agree with the views you're expressing.

Try a pro-Tibet rally or publically speaking out in support of the Dalai Lama & see what happens.

Politically incorrect.

Pligganease, she has the right to a website, but she does not have the right to advocate killing others (based on race or otherwise) unlawfully in a public forum.

She can advocate this in the privacy of her home. But in a public forum, it is considered a hate-crime. A website should probably be considered a public forum because it is open to all, but an e-mail to friends advocating this would be allowed.

Freedom of Speech means one can say whatever they want, but often they must pay the consequences.

whoa me and igotthisguitar disagreeing, wow, times they are a changin! I didn't say that people need to agree with me, but I think a fair and broad panel reflective of the Nation's value are able to determine whats free speech and what is hate speech. The Supreme Court is suitable to me.

As I said in my first post, anyone living or visting Canada that spreads hate whether they be black, white, yellow, green, purple, christian, jew, muslim, should be arrested and put in jail, I don't care.
