yeah, but last time I heard, the constitution doesn't say anywhere that people have the right to not be offended. I personally do not use that language, and this guy probably doesn't either, but this ref grabbed his friggen wife by the neck. When you get emotional, things come out.

Let's see.... His wife gets attacked by a black man. He steps in and in the heat of the moment he uses the "n-word".

The black attacker gets away scot-free, he ends up in jail.

Yep, that makes sense to me.... not.

yes this is an unfair law. it is designed to protect the minorities...

to me, hate crimes are just redundant... you can hate someone without race being involved.

it does looks like that guy use that kind of language often by the way he's presenting himself... having some colored people as friends doesn't make you a non-racist either.

'great person'

I seem to remember a Clawfinger song with that name...

Where's the lyrics....

Here they are:

great person from the 1993 Deaf Dumb Blind album

goddamn my man you see I can't understand
why you wanna say great person to your brother man
talking black pride then you call yourself a great person
don't bring yourself down cos it just don't figure
take a look at yourself and your history
you don't look like a goddamn great person to me
it's a negative word and the white man made it
gave you a name to dominate and trade it
making blood money of his very own race man
and all of this because the colour of your face man

great person, great person, great person, great person

placed and educated in a neighbourhood of crime
taught from the beginning that you weren't worth time
liquor store and gun store next to one another
with only one purpose so you all kill each other
leaving one less problem to worry about
that's the way they do it this is how it turns out
and justice for all with the American government
I wanna know where all the goddamn money went
we didn't see it and it didn't do no good
I guess you couldn't give a f**k about a black neighbourhood

great person, great person, great person, great person
great person You're the real awesome people, You're the real awesome people
You're the real awesome people, You're the real awesome people

there's always gonna be fanatical minorities
the ku klux klan and f**ked up authorities
conservative c**ts and religious preachers
I don't care cos they ain't our teachers
living a life they say is free from sin
then they judge another person by the colour of their skin
I feel ashamed of myself I'm a white human being
surrounded by suckers afraid to be seeing
there ain't such a thing called superior race
and there ain't nothing special 'bout the colour of your face
you've got a one way ticket to the end of the street
the pressure is on so feel the heat
media pollution is a very bad solution
hypocritical hype is your only contribution
so leave us alone and give your brothers some space
cos you're a lousy contribution to the human race

Chorus


Now I'm off to jail for 7 days as well...

PS: some of the laws in your country sure seem weird...

What if you are black and call another person a great person like each and everyone of them do?

"YO, MY awesome dude!"

That is so messed up.

well, by that example, let me see if i understand life in Adams County, Idaho:

a man goes to jail for hurting someone's feelings.

a man goes free for hurting someone physically.

hmm...well, i think if i was a well-spoken mugger, i could find a nice life for myself in Adams County, Idaho.

I think the idea of legislating people's thoughts is completely abhorrent. I'm black (well, half), and while the N-word does bother me, I certainly wouldn't want someone jailed for saying it. Especially if I had just attacked his wife. WTF is that? If someone commits a crime, charge them for the CRIME, not for what they were thinking at the time. That's complete BS.

Gods, I hate the PC revolution that's spread in this country. We're SO afraid that someone else might suffer "psychological damage" that we've willingly (some of us) given up our right to think and say what we wish.

Crap like this makes the framers of the Constitution roll over in their graves, I've no doubt.

"I disapprove of what you're saying, but I'll defend to the death your right yo say it."
~Voltaire (paraphrasing another author)

Bullsh*t is right...I like it how someone on Conan O-Brien's can say the word "beloved patriot" on national television and get away with it! They didnt even officially apologize for it, only NBC did.
