foolmor0n 09/15/11 11:49:00 AM #44:	Saying that hate speech should be punishable is equivalent to saying that it was okay for the kung fu guy to be punished. Even if you think that the specific situation of the kung fu guy being arrested was too extreme, too bad, that's what comes with not having an extreme sense of freedom. Even if you think that only sometimes, in very rare and extreme cases, should hate speech be punished, you have to realize that the boundary WILL be pushed. Give them an inch and they will take a mile, etc., no matter how conservative of a boundary you set, if you give any sort of exception to freedom of speech, it effectively threatens the entire freedom as a whole. -- _foolmo_ 'You are obviously intelligent and insightful' - Sir Chris about me <cite>foolmor0n posted [p:340635] in British ma...

SpeedYoshi 09/15/11 11:49:00 AM #45:	From: the icon ownz all \| #039 It offended two Chinese patrons and they called the police, who then in turn arrested the offender. He made bail and eventually the charges were dropped. It wasn't even a patron iirc, it was some guy walking past the bar on the street. -- Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs <cite>SpeedYoshi posted [p:340636] in British ma...

AshsBallistics 09/15/11 11:59:00 AM #50:	This has nothing to with nationality, and everything to do with the nature of trolling, but I honestly have no sympathy for cowards, who just desire to make other people miserable, receiving the consequences for their actions. The severity of the punishment is debatable, but I don't see how anyone could disagree that someone mocking another persons death in full view of their family deserves to get away scot free. -- Luis_Sera89 More than just fodder, baby! <cite>AshsBallistics posted [p:340641] in British ma...
