Thread Name: A boring place
Subject: RE: A boring place
So if I posted a letter in your local newspaper that all Catholics promote buggering altar boys and it is the duty of every catholic to defend their priests whilst encouraging their sexual frustration release, you'd read it and say I don't agree with it but if that's what you assess as the situation from the recent exposure, that's your view.

I wonder how many court cases in California the newspaper proprietor and I will have to put up with?

We defend freedom in The UK. We are signatures to human rights legislation. We defend the right to be free from oppression.

We have laws to enable it. Why ? Keith said it himself. Gay marriage is opposed by many people, so if decency doesn't work, the law has to step in.

A bit like in California in reality. Except we don't let them carry guns and we don't build execution chambers to address freedoms going too far.

Yes. I reported this website via my ISP for failing to moderate incitement to hatred. It means nothing as it is a foreign website and under conventions must carry same legal requirements both countries to require the owner to do something about it.

If and only if a bored person decides to look at the links I provided, they could apply to have The US federal officials require the web hosts to provide IP for those propagating incitement to hate.

This isn't saying they don't agree with something or other. This is saying that something they consider perverted and against natural law is responsible for an epidemic health issue. (Civil cases can also be brought under The Health Act 1999 but don't hold your breath. It was set up to prevent false claims using bad science but was used when a doctor falsified MMR data and published it, leading to fear in the population.

There was a successful prosecution the other week of someone who said on a website that a certain pub was no longer serving soldiers in case they upset Muslims.

Free speech is, by definition in US legal precedence as well as here, the responsible use of free speech. That cases aren't brought against hate in The USA tends to be because it usually reflects mainstream republican politics.
