You may as well claim your win by full forfeit now

I 100% and without-a-doubt - believe that hate speech is free speech. Why? Because the line between pure hate speech and criticism is extremely blurry. What could be considered "Hate speech" could in fact be a valid criticism, and if a valid criticism is shut down, then freedom ends. The ability to disagree is one of the most fundamental parts of free speech.

I am pretty interested in this debate

I'm willing to do this debate, if you are willing to make the rating requirement a little lower. Im just saying this as it is a good topic to go to waste, and there is not much interest in it at the moment.
