There is no point to the darn thing, and I am grateful that I can just change the channel. It bears all the hallmarks of religion, really, in that it makes people look the other way while crazy stuff is going on behind their backs.M.O.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199507518491506178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-67333579805734767602012-02-05T14:10:03.796-07:002012-02-05T14:10:03.796-07:00Definitely not hate speech.

In fact were I a judge presiding over the matter, I would toss it out on it's ass chuckling amusedly the whole while. <br />What they are is VERY typical Catholic/Christian sentiments though. The first one being the usual woe is me, victim complex, martyr bullshit we see all the time. <br />The second being the pompous, arrogant, look at us we know what our future(afterlife)holds, and it is so much better than what is in store for you, oh what a hollow, meaningless life you must lead vomit that is always spewed.Fatboy73https://www.blogger.com/profile/04770482415512154108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-65694054551862812062012-02-05T11:02:28.453-07:002012-02-05T11:02:28.453-07:00I think you can make a much better case for needin...I think you can make a much better case for needing "hate speech" laws than "blasphemy" laws, since the government has an interest in keeping all citizens safe, but no legitimate interest in determining what constitutes blasphemy. Still, the case from Ireland doesn't appear to come anywhere close to protecting anyone from a developing threat. But maybe they do need to have this go through as a legal precedent to lay out that this is not what the law is for.<br /><br />I'm glad to see that this isn't an American law. I hope we can keep a better handle on when to step in on language that someone views as a concern. One of my favorite things about this country is that we disagree with each other, and then move on, better than anyone else on Earth.heffisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381644102674446160noreply@blogger.com
