Good !!!!! I dont understand Behrings thinking for thousands upon thousands of years Europeans have controlled, captured, pillaged, destroyed, raped, colonized stolen gold, diamonds,oil and killed every country they visited.

Why can`t a small group of people immigrate to their country.

This should be done in US, where the Breivik kid killer picked up most of his text for his web posting. Start with Beck and LImbaugh as they are hate mongers of the worse sort.

Attempting to curtail freedom of speech is a bad idea that won't work and may make things actually worse. Do that, and the haters will have substantial fodder for conspiracy theories too.

Just let the average Norweigian rise to the challenge of opposing them on the net.

It is always instructive to see how the demented doctrine of political correctness actually diminishes intelligence, and zurcronium's posts are as good a place as any to start:

Norway had, like Finland is now proposing, outlawed 'hate speech'. And so the killer Breivik aired out his conspiracies and thoughts on web sites based outside of his country, and these were hardly limited to forums found in the the object of zurcronium's obsession, America. I would argue that the Norwegian government ought to limit the definition of hate speech to things like death threats, monitor political websites, and thereby be able to sooner identify the Breiviks among them.

Looks like Zucronium and the Finland Govt want a "fairness" doctrine. To curb online hate speech would require a gigantic expensive bureaucracy to monitor the net. Not only that but it would be a massive breach for individual liberty and private property rights. You should be able to say what ever you want and type what ever you want from the comfort of your own home. Including hateful rants like Zucroniums and whiskeysour's. Death threats are always being posted onn the net, i have gotten them myself and they never carry out such threats. Only a very select few actually do. But that is no reason to sacrifice the private property of all, because of one lone wolf terrorist.
