Actually, you fail again.

"seig heil" is not a threat in words itself. Especially so far decoupled from Germany. Keep in mind, we are only talking words here, not actions. You are also missing the point about Threats.

This is, of course, a completely hypothetical situation that still fails the legal test.

Here, I'll help with pointing out unprotected speech... When you do something akin to yelling "fire" in a theater when there is none, creating a false emergency. The resulting panic and false emergency expending resources and possible injuries resulting from possible hysteria are the risk. I'm sure you can conjure up a million situations similar to this.

I'm done arguing with the fencepost. I tire of repeating myself.

"First off hate speech is not protected speech so your example falls on it's ass"

Wrong... Inoffensive speech doesn't need protecting.

Offensive speech, which also extrapolates to mean "hateful speech", is indeed protected by the US Constitution. If not, show me where this is disputed, I'd like to know.

Speech where people are advocating hate also is not illegal. It's not exactly wise, but it's not illegal.

You DO NOT have the right to protection from offensive speech. In fact, it's just the opposite.

There is a concept called "utility". To utilize something is to use it to it's potential or some measurable degree by which the user can gain "utility" from the system to do "work". This is far different from simply "using" it.

I can "use" my computer, but am I making good "utility" of it? Depends on what I am "using" it for.

So therefore, in not using the "utility" word, you show just how "simplistic" you actually are... which is a different word than "simple".

Not trying to sound "smart" or anything, I just like to use my brain.

I've never been canoeing before, but I imagine there must be just a few simple heuristics you have to remember... Yes, don't fall out, and don't hit rocks.
