RE: Absolute Freedom & Respect Conflicts - Dutch Tradition to Remember the Victims of Freedom

As you write, I understand the difficulties defining what is ok and what is not ok wrt what/when/where someone says something. The action making loud noise, can happen anytime imho, but out of respect, don't do it during the 2 minute of silence. And yes, I do know it probably cannot be defined in law. However, maybe we shall look for new law systems. I'm not sure how that should look like, but I would like to see respect and fair being a dominant part of such system. What is you solution for all of us to be more respectful?

Social shaming is probably the best you can do here. The state should never be used to punish speech unless it represents a clear and present danger to someone's life and / or property. That way there is a modicum of objectivity to the law.

I agree social shaming maybe the best way indeed.
