How Hate Laws Work - Lawyers, Guns & Money : Lawyers, Guns & Money I found this to be an interesting, and spot on, analysis on the damaging effects of hate laws even though many of the provisions are unenforceable and the laws will likely be struck down as unconstitutional.
I like to look innocently at people with a "I'm really confused, please explain this to me" look and ask them to explain. Then I ask them to explain. Again. And again. Until I can tell they're going to say "It's just bad, okay!" Then I get a really upset and still confused look. Most of the time they flounder. Half the time they reconsider briefly. Usually, it takes half a minute for them to come up with an eloquent and unchanged opinion. People just end up looking stupid then. Really works for me, probably because most of the time I get predictions right. I've been using it since I asked Mom how the dinosaurs would work with Biblical creation story. Good times... Anyways, I've been using that approach for a while, but on the internet I have to use facts and logic approach. Asking for an explanation, while including a little fact with it, a few times is a good inbetween for me. I use all of these approaches on people when arguments like the ones in this article are brought up.
