Holy shit, a guy in Austria is gonna spend three years in prison for denying the Holocaust.

You know, I'm all for giving those assholes a good clout upside the head, but damn. *clings to First Amendment* Going to JAIL for asserting a completely delusional opinion that no one cares about except your fellow delusionoids seems kinda harsh to me.

And then there are the times when I actually am glad to live in the US. It's like Voltaire said, y'all. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Except I'm paraphrasing, and also Voltaire was French, but you get my meaning.
