Should Holocaust denial be a criminal offense?

[SingingAnalyst]

No.  You should be allowed to express any idea.  In a sense, it's good to have a debate where even the most ridiculous, stupid ideas can be expressed.  When someone outs themselves as a holocaust denier or a 9/11 conspiracy theorist or a bigfoot believer, you know they're a cuckoo brains.  That's important information to have. 

However, if you write that a holocaust survivor is lying that they were in a concentration camp, that could be libel. 

I think bedstuy makes a good point.
