On one hand we got the pay czar docking peoples wages for doing their job while congress waste their time pandering to this pestilence. I think congress needs their pay docked 90% until they quit wasting time on this ridiculous nonsense and start doing the job they were elected for.

Murder is murder, it not need to be classified as to the type of murder. I am so freaking sick of the government classifying everything. There are already laws on the books about what constitute murders. Wy does this government have to classify everything? I quess so they can make nice with some folks. Political correctness can take a leap off a long cliff.

With the laws as they are its all but ok to kill a trans person and just a little worse to kill a gay person. But im sure that doesnt matter to any one.

I don't give a rip what you do. I don't care if a tranny was murdered because he/she is a tranny. I don't care if a gay person was murdered because they were gay. Murder IS murder whether you are homo, hetero or I don't know. Flip the switch on 'ol sparky, and bzzzzt! No more murderer. THAT is equality.

It infuriates me the way that people like you purposely distort the meaning of hate crimes. Maybe you think that if you say it often enough and loud enough then people will believe it. Or, maybe you actually believe it yourself.

If someone bashes your head in during a robbery, that is a crime but not a hate crime.

If someone bashes your head in just because you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, xtian or jew, then that would be a hate crime.

"Some are now more equal than others".

Hate crimes apply to you as well!

I assume that you are a straight, white, xtian, male. Well, if someone bashes your head in just because you are straight, it's a hate crime. If someone bashes your head in just because you are white, it's a hate crime. Or, if someone bashes your head in just because you are a xtian, that, also, is a hate crime. So, how has this made some people more equal?

The law applies equally to all!

And why should gays be the only ones left out of the hate crimes laws? That just seems to be based on your personal prejudice.

Why is your head more valuable than mine?

Why in determining the extent of bashing is it necessary to consider what is in the pants or under the skirt?

All head bashing should be a hate crime, period.

"It infuriates me the way that "people like you" purposely distort the meaning of hate"...

"people like you". Sounds a bit bigoted don't you think?

What if I said "people like YOU." I bet you'd be all outraged and offended.

I'm not distorting the meaning of hate though I think you have more experience with it than I do.

I'm arguing that special enhancements for certain qualified individuals is wrong that's it. No anger here.

Bashing is bashing.

Because when someone kills us. They get a slap on the wrist when someone kills you they get a decent punishment.

Gag Since the late 1970's almost every murder of a Transexual has not only been blamed on the transexual because of course we had to be deceiving the man that kills us. But also the punishment is a relative slap on the wrist. You see society has been saying its ok to kill a transexual. My worth as a human is far less then yours without these laws. Also many of them cover you. On the basis of religion skin color and gender.

DO you know what the difference between Bronti Kelly getting beat up or not getting beat up in front of Baja Betty's in San Diego the other day? That's right, he is gay. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON!!! How ironic that the coward who attacked him did so from BEHIND. Real tough guy attacking people from behind.

And I'm not the government so you shouldn't mind that I classified you as a half witted retard!
