Cods, are you actively campaigning against freedom of speech? Do you actually think it means you can compel me to publish anything you want? You either have no clue what it is, or are looking for any mindless propaganda you can find to undermine it.

Cods how far would you go to appease terrorists?

Quote:

How so? You make lots of vague accusations, but they all come to nothing.

Quote:

go away

How about this? You stop posting stupid crap, and I stop pointing out how stupid your posts are.

Quote:

Give us your version of what it means Cods. Appeasing terrorists?

I just explained that they can. Do keep up Cods.

Still whining about the swear word censor? Do you need me to explain it again?

I assume "Cods" is no spring chicken, yet for somebody obviously over retirement age she sure is naive.

Support the criminal blacks in the US who would kill police officers as they protect society, and now support murdering terrorists because they feel aggrieved by a satirical magazine which publishes satirical cartoons, and slaughter people because they're pizzd off at what is published.

When are you going to wake up (your words Cods) Cods.

No, the idea is absurd and breathtakingly hypocritical from governments who rant and rave about freedom of speech - as we are seeing in France right now.

I have come around on the holocaust denial issue. I used to be somewhat circumspect given the very real link between anti-semitism and holocaust denial. However we are talking about an opinion on history. It is a thought crime - plain and simple. What we are talking about is an acadamic calmly presenting an intellectual argument that rejects or even questions the historical evidence of the holocaust - being punished by the state. It is outrageous.

I'd be really interested if you elaborated on that FD. On the surface this seems an extraordinary thing to say for someone like you to say this. You've previously said you support people having the right to do things like vilify muslims through racial caricatures and march down the street demanding people be beheaded for insulting islam - now you are saying its a bit more 'complicated' when it comes to holding an opinion on history??

no good asking FD about Freedom of speech.. he doesnt even allow that on this forum!!!

have you tried swearing.. or calling someone a nice person.... I used the M word...see what I mean?..

that fd is not FREEDOM OF SPEECH....

and as for Holocaust denial....how do you legislate against the way people think?....

we are chatting away on here...if we all denied history... what can anyone do about it?????....tell them to stop thinking.. OK>.

I agree about the French of course....i wonder what would happen if CHarlie now turns his sights to Denying the Holocaust?? in cartoon mode...
how do you think that would go down?????

You don't....the various countries ban on Holocaust denial is about publicly announcing it, either in print or spoken form, same as the laws against denigrating or defaming ANY group in the same way.

Criticising a non - existent God is different to denying the murder
of 6 million Jews & 6 million other people for
which the evidence is over whelming.

There is no elephant in the room.

So just to be clear Bobby, limits to freedom of speech is contingent upon how overwhelming the evidence is on the particular topic in question?

Presumably you would support gaoling/fining people for claiming the earth is flat or that man-made global warming doesn't exist?

People can be motivated by racism to mock Muhammed or deny the holcaust. It can be an expression of their racism. It should be a legally protected expression. The expression is not in itself racist.

'Free-trade' for instance: words allowed to combine that we all know mean nothing! Not even so called right wing economists acknowledge a hint of truth in the wording of the idea!

Gandalf do you support the Australian laws that outlaw holocaust denial?

The idea that rejecting the historical evidence of a particular event in history amounts to racial discrimination is absurd - don't you think?

Are you in the holocaust denier camp Gandalf or do you think it happened?

Of course it happened Baron - I am a student of history, I have studied the evidence and know that it happened. People who deny this are ignorant or anti-semitic or both. But thats not the point. Our own Attorney General proclaimed that 'people have the right to be bigots' - in almost the same breath that he proudly reassured the Australian public that holocaust denial would remain unlawful under the Racial Discrimination Act. The hypocricy should take any sane person's breath away - even yours Baron.

I understand the intrinsic link between holocaust denial and virulent anti-semitism - but this is not the solution. The best ammunition we can give to anti-semites in our society is to give them a martyr complex - and gaoling and/or otherwise punishing them for a thought-crime is the perfect way to do it.
