Holocaust Denial

Should holocaust denial be a criminal offense?

Not ever should it be a crime to have an alternate view albeit being a stupid one.

No. I doubt a lot of people actually believe these loonies anyway, so why give them an excuse to claim they're being punished for their beliefs?

Making it a criminal offence could also make other people think, "Gee, if the government have gone to such lengths to shut them up, maybe their theories have some merit to them."

Leave it be, I say. Pretty much everyone else is laughing at what they've come up with, and the only harm its doing is getting people annoyed.

It's actually funny watching people come up with excuses of why it didn't happen and even when pictures are shown they have even more excuses: "oh that's only a few hundred people, not the millions told" or "how do we know any of them are Jews or who's the Nazis?"

Having an opinion doesn't make one a criminal.

There's no point to it.

No, it shouldn't be a crime, stupidity and ignorance aren't illegal nor should they be.
