Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:16:02 PM Flip the script around Mo. Lets say we live in a nation where gays are forbidden. And lets say you hold a sign that says "Gays are a part of our isle, live with it". From the society's perspective, that seems like a message of hate towards their pre-established culture. But in your case, you just wanted to be heard. The belief of not tarnishing the sainted isle or whatever is similar justification of what the nazi's had when it came to burning Jew authored books. |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:14:03 PM Yeah..I learnt you couldnt even outwit a cabbage but keep going Prime! Definitions of oppression: * the act of subjugating by cruelty; "the tyrant's oppression of the people" * the state of being kept down by unjust use of force or authority: "after years of oppression they finally revolted" * a feeling of being oppressed So...individuals can not be oppressed by another eh? Yeah..keep coming bud. I've knocked you down so many times its not funny anymore!

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:13:21 PM But it's not blocking their views it's just blocking their cloven hooves setting foot on our sainted isle (I'm not religous by the way, it's just a nice way of putting it). The fact that I can read about their views as opposed to people in China being unable to read about their own country's history demonstrates that we have freedom of ideas. |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:13:05 PM @The_Maddog: Unlike you, they never state anyone should kill or hurt anyone. I support the rights of racists to holler from the roves there various opinions, EVERYONE is allowed to say ANYTHING, provided it does not incite immediate violence. Any limits to free speech are grave dishonors to the country that perpetrates them, and I am truly sorry that you live in a country that feels the need to DISCRIMINATE against people based on their opinions. |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:09:36 PM @ primetimekin 1) You have no idea what oppresion is.If you think yoiu need power then your more deluded than I thought! 2)It has everything to do with everything when someones claming that they are "free" to do or say as they wish when clearly they do not. 3) Nope..you just still have lots to learn. Goodnite Prime. We've done this dance to often and we're still going in circles! There's only so much time I can waste day!

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:06:10 PM "That is not blocking the freedom of expression but it is saying that we choose not to have those people in our country." I disagree. I think anything that limits ones personal views is blocking freedom of expression. If it promoted violence such as "kill all ..." then that would be a matter of concern. But that is a genuine view that someone has. If it is not slander, liable, and does not promote criminal activity, why limit it?

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:03:45 PM "Freedom vs Persecution Prime. Which ones just and fair? Am I free to oppress someone? No..so you lets start again. " Main Entry: op·pres·sion Pronunciation: \ə-ˈpre-shən\ Function: noun Date: 14th century 1 a : unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power b ==================================== Last time I checked, the girl, nor you, had any power. Therefore its not oppression. "No ones really free. Its all an illusion so lets stop claiming otherwise k? " What? What the flying drat does that have to do with anything? "Lets learn to be nice and get along...oh wait..with religion we cant!!!" ....you've really gone off the deep end havent you? |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:02:46 PM Hate to have a dig at the mods, but primetimekin, that is plain ignorant. Their views can be published in the UK but they are not welcome here due to our incitement laws. They incite hatred and that is not deemed to be acceptable. We have enough haters in this country without importing. Anyone who incites hatred against a community in the UK will not be allowed in. That is not blocking the freedom of expression but it is saying that we choose not to have those people in our country. |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 6:01:49 PM circular logic is circular? Let's ignore the fact that this has nothing to do with I-A-B. As in, I-A-B is a private enterprise and does not protect free speech. "So..is that ok? Is it ok for more to say those things or should I be banned? Your call. Admit your wrong or get me banned and prove I'm right! " If its heads you win and if its tails I lose? So lets see...ad hominem, circular reasoning, false dichotomy....anything else im missing here?

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:56:11 PM The last part is obviously a joke, but is highly offensive to some, just as I'm insulting your undeveloped intelligence (I do hope we can work on that). So..is that ok? Is it ok for more to say those things or should I be banned? Your call. Admit your wrong or get me banned and prove I'm right! And I'll accept a ban (since I gave up modship) if you think I should be! Make a call and mod..see it through! A hypocrite should be proven a hypocrite! |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:54:19 PM "Are you stupid? You sound stupid! I dont "hate" freedom, I hate oppression! Of course your obviously to thick to get to understand the diffrence. Just a heads up...The WB church is banned from coming to my country. We wont allow that crap. " So wait...you hate oppression...so you limit free speech? That makes sense... |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:53:20 PM @ zantrua2 Are you stupid? You sound stupid! I dont "hate" freedom, I hate oppression! Of course, your obviously to stupid to understand the diffrence. Just a heads up...The WB baptist church is banned from coming to my country. We wont allow that crap. Should someone be persecuted because of their skin colour? Of course not...but your prepared to make out its ok that they should. Exactly the same argument is applied to sexuality! To "persecute" and to voice and opition (to wit,free speech) are 2 sperate things. Now feck off before I hunt you down and hurt you you little halfwit..and dont ever claim I hate something I dont you idiot!

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:51:04 PM "I'm sure she wouldn't do this without a good reason." KucheKlizma The photo is someone from a Westborough Baptist rally - one of the most vicious, and active, anti-gay hate groups in the U.S. They used to just picket the funerals of gay men who died of AIDS, but when their dreams of criminalizing homosexuality and executing homosexuals did not become U.S. law, they broadened their efforts to protesting the funerals of U.S. service people as well. About three years ago, they had a video up on the 'net - "God hates the world" which bluntly cursed and maligned everyone other than themselves. So, tell us all, what 'good reason' exists to justify this abusive, degrading, dehumanizing, genocidal behavior? |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:47:13 PM Keep complaining about how sh*tty USA is if you like, but there are literally millions who would move there given the chance. There are also quite a few thousands who risk their lives to do so. My point is: USA isn't nearly as crappy a place to live as some of you pansies would like to make it seem. |

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:45:22 PM excuse the first sentence, best not to edit what you've written without re-reading first. I meant to say that their agenda is more fundamental then just hating the US. I'm sure they'd hate a Russian homosexual as much as an American one. |
