Note to U.K. citizens: immigrate to U.S. today!

Because that's the only way you can be protected by our First Amendment protection, and the process takes quite some time.

"Two British men have become the first to be jailed for inciting racial hatred online. The men believed that material they published on web servers based in the United States did not fall under the jurisdiction of UK law and was protected under the First Amendment. This argument was rejected by the British trial judge. After being found guilty, the men fled to Los Angeles, where they attempted to claim political asylum, again arguing that they were being persecuted by the British government for speech that was protected under the First Amendment. The asylum bid was rejected and the two were deported back to the UK after spending over a year in a US jail."

Leave your miserable island and continent.

Freedom is still alive here. The liberals and statists tried their best in the last century (and they are still trying), but they have yet to succeed here as completely as they had in Europe and elsewhere.

NOM is a hate group?

This is why hate crime laws are savage hypocrisy and must be outlawed.

With wide enough definition of "hate crime" and "hate groups", every political advocacy is "hate crime" and every lobbying organization is a "hate group". After all, it's the hate of American consumers that drives sugar (and in general, farm) lobby. It's the hate of tobacco companies that drives anti-tobacco lobby. It's the hate of uptight cultural norm (or, well, conservatives) that drives marijuana lobby. It's the hate of law-abiding citizens that drives lobbying for more money spent and more luxuries provided for prisoners. It's the hate of parents and students that drives the teachers' unions. (Here, I define "hate" loosely, namely, they don't like these particular people as much as they like the people they advocate for.)

There is no group that can't be painted as a "hate group". We should, as a society, look at the groups and people who flippantly label other people and groups as "hate group" as the biggest hate-promoter of all—just like TSA is the largest terror organization ever to exist in America.
