quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol What was it about labelling people, popeye? You've been going on about 'The Left' like a broken record for about a dozen posts in a row, as if it were an all-encompassing term for all those out there who disagree with your idea of a perfect society. For someone who doesn't like labels, you certainly use them a lot. Just sayin' [8\|] . Did you miss my "Politically Correct Goose Steppers" comment? I thought that was a good one.

They was obviously looking where they were going.

I do feel more comfortable mocking Christianity possibly because that is the one I’m personally more familiar with. It’s strange that I almost see Islam as a guest religion in the western world and as such I have to be on my best behaviour with it. Mind you the whole 'can’t make pictures of Mohamed' is funny considering how many of them name their children Mohamed. If you have a son called Mohamed you can’t look at him and if he looks in the mirror, well he's fucked. [sm=cactus.gif]

Sorry, no religions are exempt from "making jokes" about, when we have "Free Speech". If we want to joke about one religion, we can joke about all religions. No "sacred cows" , "yamaca's" or "burkas". [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: FullCircle quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf You can create laws for the actions. Now all you have to realise is that speech is an action. True enough, we differ on what degree it is problematic. 1- Francois Mitterand is a useless piece of shit, and should be run out of town. I'm assuming that those of you on the wrong side of this debate ([8D] ) would deem that "illegal". I would only have an issue with it if someone actually acted on the statement. *bearing in mind Mr. Mitterand is no longer with us, and hasn't been for quite some time* 2- Francois Mitterand is a useless piece of shit, let's go get him. To me, that just crossed the line.

I find both statements fine so long as Francois Mitterrand is able to hear them in the afterlife.[8\|]

How would it be deemed illegal, by whom, and it which circumstances exactly?

Would the "should be run out of town" not fall into what the French seem to see as "instigating hatred"? It seems harsher than Bardot's sheep slaughtering diatribe. Would it matter if we were to find out that Mr Mitterand's cadaver were Muslim? I do realize none of us here are that intimate with these laws, but unless we can find a French bureaucrat.....[:D]

FullCircle -> RE: What does "Free Speech" mean to you? (4/20/2008 3:07:50 PM)
There is a good chance all of that speech by Bardot wasn't heard by us. For example she may have given support to a group that says a lot worse things. We may not hear the whole speech if the media organisations refuse to report it due to the risk of being fined etc.
