A little bit late to the party, but this is something I feel strongly about – the only excuse for censorship is, as someone else said, direct incitement to murder. Nothing else is even remotely acceptable. If Neo Nazis pay money to adopt a stretch of highway, they have the right to have their name put up. If I get to say things that enrage white supremacists – and I do – they get to say things that enrage me.

And how would we censor ridiculous and stupid things? I have a very broad definition of ridiculous and/or stupid things. If my definitions were put into place and enforced half the global population wouldn't be able to open their mouths. But if someone with more lenient standards defined the terms, I would be forced to listen to things that are, to me, ridiculous and stupid. No, if people with mainstream views have the right to express them, then everyone else does as well.
