Jeri A boring place (363* d) RE: A boring place 16 Apr 14


Al, if someone takes piccies of you, please tell me where I can see them.

I feel like I may be interrupting a lover's quarrel, or at least a family one. Lots of children with uncle-daddies in it, but hey.
We don't have laws against hate SPEECH here, no "incitement to hatred". We have "incitement to violence laws" and "hate crimes", that are pretty much just crimes, but inspired by hatred.

If we had laws against hate speech, a few radio/TV commentators, a few ("few"?!") Teaprats, the fucking Westboro Baptist idiots, and Fox "news" would be in jail forever. I don't like the concept of disallowing speech of any sort, but I can sort of see a few perks.

And why is it you guys (Brits) think it's heinous to incite hatred of a group of people, but you're perfectly find targeting/hounding/bullying one single individual? I don't get what makes that sort of hatred acceptable.

Fundamentally, this difference is what's at the heart of much of the discord in threads that you guys fuck up are persistently involved in. We don't get you, and you don't get us.
