Wow, UK has lost freedom of speech

[catsmate]

We are talking about England, not Sweden.

And yet you keep dragging in USAia.

FTFY.

Not really.

Kool. Whatever. I came in here here for an argument.

Just not a rational one from a certain USAian.

 

[Hercules56]

Just not a rational one from a certain USAian.AMERICAN

FTFY. My argument is extremely rational.

 

[Helen]

Just not a rational one from a certain USAian.

I was hoping for a professional arguer, actually. But I expect I would have to pay in that case, so swings and roundabouts, I suppose.

 

[Steve]

FTFY. My argument is extremely rational.

A uniquely colonial definition of rational, perhaps.

He repetitively ignores the idea that the USAian version of "free speech" cannot be perfect.

NS is still a colony, bud.

 

[Hercules56]

He repetitively ignores the idea that the USAian AMERICAN version of "free speech" cannot be perfect.

FTFY.

Never said it was perfect. But it's definitely more perfect than yours.

 

[junkshop]

FTFY.

Never said it was perfect. But it's definitely more perfect than yours.

Not how that word works.

 

[arthwollipot]

To create a disincentive to harassing women at abortion clinics.

And it works.

How the ◊◊◊◊ do you prevent someone from throwing a rock at a abortion clinic window, if you don't know he is carrying a rock in his pocket until he takes it out to throw it?

Don't let him get within 500'.

We are talking about all anti-abortion protesters, both civil and uncivil.

Schrödinger's Protestor. How do you know whether someone plans to be civil or uncivil when they attend an anti-abortion protest?

FTFY.

You realise that you're just encouraging them to do it more, right?

Not the Americans I know.

You're exemplifying it.

 

[catsmate]

FTFY.

Never said it was perfect. But it's definitely more perfect than yours.

Why? Other than your opinion....

Hercules56 - "First let them commit a crime by harassing the clinic's users, then arrest them when the damage has been done." This results in both harassment and arrests. Harassment that you sometimes claim should not happen, and sometimes require it to happen.

Steve - "Provide a reasonable level of protection for the clinic's users prior to any crime being committed." This reduces the chances of a crime being committed and results in no harassment and no arrests - a better result for all concerned, users and protesters alike.

Maybe Steve needs to consult Tom Cruise and the three pre-cogs.

 

[lionking]

Yes, the AMERICAN version of free speech, which is pretty damn good.

Um, haven’t you been hectoring people that this thread is not about America. Or perhaps it is not about America when you dislike comments about your pathetic country.

This thread is about free speech in the UK. Not abortion rights and not the ignorance or otherwise of specific posters

《Nvm, it seems I butt posted, for what may be my first time. Poetic that my butt demanded freedom of speech ITT》

You should have left it, l doubt your butt would have been the worst contributer to this thread.

Exactly. That's basically what they are demanding. We must stop all crime before it happens, all criminal speech before its heard.

No. You're repeating the same strawman over and over again; this doesn't make it true
