I know how to get rid of the WBC, we've done it, it works and america thinks they have it right, they don't, we do (with regard to free speech).

You don't have free speech moron.

Mike Gayner, seriously if "fire" in a movie theater is all you have just walk out of the thread now.

LOL @ moron who believes every person should have unrestrained free speech under any circumstances. BTW, even LOLAmerica doesn't provide unrestrained free speech. But I bet you're about stupid enough to believe it does.

This...is...exactly...my...point.

American's seem to think that every one should be able to say anything, and everytime someone points at that this is retarded, they start saying how they have it right and everyone else doesnt. HAH! :rolleyes:

The Law.

Hate speech is, outside of the law, any communication which disparages a person or a group on the basis of some characteristic such as race or sexual orientation.

Who decides the law?

BTW Hate speech is an opinion you generate off of the emotional response due to said speech.

Let's see you call a black cop the "N" word. Let's see you threaten the President's life. Let's see you disseminate state secrets, or recipes for bombs or drugs. Let me know how you get on.

BTW - yes, "fire" in a theatre is an example of restricted speech.

Excellent points.

But wait (they'll say) threats are different, but no threats are as subjective as hate, and yet it's fine (for some reason) to legislate against threats lol. Americans need to wake up and re-evaluate their freedom of speech notion.

For instance to you, fuck the Queen, fuck England, they are all a bunch of sister fucking faggots who each shit and shove pineapples up their ass, is hate speech. For me it's just words.

But to me, it's excessive use of foul language & infraction worthy. -Admin DrPizza

It's hateful speech to anyone who's not a complete psychopath.

... ok do I seriously need to tear this a part? If I called a black cop a ******, he couldn't do shit about it. If he did he would be in the wrong. Threats don't constitute free speech because you are making a verbal agreement to take away another Americans right to life. I can't release state secrets well because 1. I don't have access to them and 2. getting access to them would be illegal. Same thing as signing an NDA and then talking about it ZOMG! I can also talk about any recipes or drugs I want. No one can say shit. Ever heard of 420 Magazine? Been around for awhile.

Just because YOU idiots don't have freedom nor were you taught the concepts of liberty, doesn't mean they don't exist. YOU do not understand because YOU are not American.

Seriously if everyone else in the world thinks this way about America, we're not the ignorant ones.

What constitutes a threat is completely subjective... It's as valid as hate speech, and as invalid. You are an insane hypocrit.

Also the only thing I don't understand because I'm not american is wtf is "Jersey Shore" and why do people watch it.

The words have no meaning unless you assign meaning to them. To me they are words with no meaning and I wrote it as such. How can words without meaning be hate speech?


Oh I'm sorry it's your OPINION that those words have adverse meaning behind them and your EMOTIONAL response is that it is hateful of me to say those things.


Seriously one would think you guys went through the American school system.

Take your nanny state bullshit elsewhere. I will fight for the right of these idiots to say what they want just as much as I'll fight for the right of a person to choose to be a homo, but that doesn't mean I like or support either of them. It's called freedom of speech and freedom to do what you want within the constraints of physical boundaries (IE violence). That's about the only thing not tolerated on a wide scale level. But you think it is absolutely fine to just silence whoever you don't agree with.

You're scummier than WBC.

The majority, google democracy.



Ah, tyranny of the majority over the minority. We're different here. We protect the weak and helpless and so do our laws. This is why the gays in California aren't discriminated against even though your precious majority voted on discriminating against them.

This is why blacks don't sit in the back of the bus. Because at the time people were rallying for civil rights and equality, the majority hated it.

Your form of tyrannical government and laws only serves to oppress people.

I don't think you understand what's free speech either...your postings are the rants of one that's likely to think inciting a riot wouldn't be your fault.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, and yet if someone threatens the life of the president they are commiting a crime?! But surely if someone threatens someone then "The words have no meaning unless you assign meaning to them. "

Fucking hell, how can you type this stuff without laughing at yourself.

So somehow you've created a democratic government where the people in the smallest minority are elected?!

Our constitution is setup to allow the Judicial branch to over rule the laws that are passed by the majority in order to protect the minority.

And even our congress is setup to represent the smaller states in a way that gives them equal power to the higher population bigger states.

We don't allow mob rule here.

The morning show I listen to up here in Canada (Dean Blundell) had Shirley Phelps on the air this morning, as they do every so often when she starts spewing ridiculous shit, and they made her a deal. She can have 5 or so minutes of uninterrupted air time to spew her crazy nonsense if she promised to stay away from the 9 year old's funeral. She agreed to it. She said immediately after she got off the phone she would cancel the protest. I think she will stay true to her word.

WEll I don't know what most of that means, "Judicial branch" "Congress" etc etc. these are things we don't have and as a result I don't know what youre on about.

In any event, you are still voting into power the most popular, that's the way democracy works, however you've got it subdivided.
