England Jails Homophobes

SNIPThen it's a good thing you live in the U.K. and not the U.S.A.

That kind of rhymes.

It is. Isnt it? I just get tired of the fallacious arguement that id sit back and watch all opposing views be arrested. Not so. Only calls murder. Mass murder. Of innocent men women and children. I think thats understandable enough.

Legally executions aren't murder.

Dear Americans,

Please notice that the majority of British people in this thread support the arrest of these terrorists. Stop acting like 'MURRICAH knows best and that the US constitution should apply to everyone.

Sincerely,
the rest of the world.

I'm an American and I fully support and encourage the British ruining their country in any manner which they see fit. I do not believe that the US constitution applies to the British nor would I ever ever want it too. The British should feel free to jail whoever they want, for whatever they want. Hell, make a game of it. Lastly, although I am not a world representative such as yourself I hope you still take my opinion into consideration when applying beliefs to "MURRICAH".

That was one hell of a well worded and intelligent retort.

It was also hilarious, lol.

-snip- You enjoy these laws when they put people away who have views you think are 'nasty' but when the tables are turned and suddenly the government thinks your views are the nasty ones, how are you going to feel about that?

I have terrible views already - but I'm not going to go throwing them about in public. I'm not going to hurt anyone with my thoughts. Nor am I going to inspire hatred - the point of these laws is to keep people from inspiring hatred - if you don't act on extreme views you're not causing trouble. These men were demanding and encouraging execution and violent stonings on people - that is causing hatred!

I hate this whole theory that it's the government who control what is bad and what isn't. If you're going to be that much of an anarchist why not start throwing Molotovs around and calling for rebellions because really! I don't have enough freedoms when I can't stand in the middle of a motorway and tap-dance.
You can never have too many freedoms right?

Oh, God... the irony... Too much irony!

 

[Burs]

I don't see why we need a specific law foreboding inciting hate against X

Where X is gays or whatever.

Shouldn't it just be an offence to incite hate against any group of people?

well in a sense that's what it is they just get added to as new arguements/ new reasons to hate each other are put forward.

but it's sexual discrimination laws we are dealing with so maybe in the far and distant future where being gay is the norm; there "could" be cases of straight-hate.

These laws are not just one-sided.

They must have never seen Stephen Fry or John Barrowman. You just can't stay mad at homosexuals if that includes those two...

 

[Grey Day for Elcia]

to be honest you could remove the "homosexual" part and replace it with ANY group of people and they still would have been arrested

This is true. I don't see someone handling out pamphlets about how all vegetarians should be hanged by the will of God doing that for very long before the police arrive.

tho I would probably pick up and actually read THAT pamphlet

Because it's funny to joke about executing people?

The correct answer was no.

well then you are seriously lacking in a sense of humor

you shouldn't take life to seriously, you'll never get out alive

I don't think it takes a sense of humor to laugh at executions. It takes immaturity.

don't worry one day when you grow up you will understand

Calling me a child? Is that the best way to demonstrate your maturity?

See, that's the main problem. People sitting at home brooding over hate speeches instead of watching QI and Doctor Who...

nope I have none to demonstrate...

but if lying to yourself by thinking your lack of a sense of humor is a sign that you are mature so you can raise your self esteem I understand

I am not bound by such useless social trappings

sociopathy FTW!

You edit out direct insults and place in their stead a rant about social constants and mental illness?

I can see this conversation is over, lol.

Watching Doctor Who decreases hate crime. FACT.

who are you fooling? it was over before it began!

Um... Okay?

Yeah, that was one of the weirder oppositions I've faced.

Well I currently live in a country where I can reasonably expect to walk down the street hand in hand with a girlfriend and not have abuse hurled at me.
And I'm happy with that, I'd take that any day over living in some "freer" nation where any halfwit street preacher can lobby for my execution through legal channels and nobody care because our speech is "free".

Wisen up people, just because you're free to say something, doesn't mean your actions don't have consequences. And it certainly doesn't mean that you're immune to punishment as a direct result of those consequences.

 

[Arina Love]

yay lock up those lunatics for good.

Reads like: "I'm glad I live in a country where I can do what I want and no one can say anything to me about it."

I've dated people of my own sex and I have no problem with people hating me and saying I'm going to Hell or should be executed. They can scream until the cows come home. Go nuts, guys. Why? Because I enjoy that freedom, so it would be insanely selfish to stick my nose up, pour on the crocodile tears and go running to Daddy to make them stop.

The world is full of people who think differently. I'm glad I live in a country where I have the freedom to tell religious idiots that I don't care what they think, lol. A little give and a little take. World keeps on turning.
