Freedom of speech

[Pureblood]

Gervais in his latest show is on about joking about certain subjects with regards to freedom of speech.

 

Not about being abusive in a verbally violent manner to other people.

 

A comparison of a racist, paranoid, obviously with a screw loose, cunt on a train isn’t a very good example.

 

 

Hence the bit where I said "I'm not comparing the incidents".

 

Where would you draw the line?

 

I would draw it at saying "gas the jews" 23 times, then putting it on youtube (even if it's to a dog).  How about you?

I think its pretty obvious its a joke.

 

It's unfunny and pretty unpleasant, but "gassing the juice" should not get you jail time.

 

It's clearly a joke, but I prefer they sentence him just for being a dick.

Liked the turn of phrase here.

Why bring up that video then? I’m confused. I don’t think they are anyway related.

 

Personally I think anyone with a YouTube channel is an absolute cunt regardless of the content. That’s my honest view.

 

Anyone abusing people without provocation in person is even more of a cunt.

 

I don’t actually know what you’re getting at.

It doesn't matter.  I'm out.

Neither does he.

I’m not having a go I just honestly don’t understand that angle on this one.

 

More than happy to be made to understand and don’t mean to sound dismissive, just so you know.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter.

 

I haven't got the energy and you're right, I'm barking up the wrong tree.

If you're only in favour of freedom of speech for people you agree with, you're not in favour of freedom of speech.

Negged for posting such a load of trite old wank.

Or the absolute crux of the argument.

What about people in bands that have their own YouTube channels?

Even bigger cunts

 

But if you’re getting at me we have an account with a handful of videos, not a monetised ‘channel’.

 

Cheeky sod

I’m only messing. I’ve listened to a couple of the tracks you’ve posted on FB. They’re good!

Maybe if the trial was in Hartlepool the dog would be in the nick for facist gestures.

They tried to put the dog in the dock but he made a dachs for it.

[Strontium]

I watched the video, the only really offensive thing in it is those fucking terrible ear lobe stretching abominations he has, the wearing of which should probably be a hanging offence.

Just had the idea of a YouTube channel, consisting of one half sober guy talking his way back into a stadium at half time, on behalf of him and also a very pissed guy who thought a game of a unmentionable sport had ended and wanted to go for a Kebab.

 

That would have racked up the views.

Or the absolute crux of the argument.

 

 

In my opinion the absolute crux of the argument is open to interpretation and disagreement.

 

There are some abusive and hurtful - rather than simply offensive - things that are said... that one might be entitled to claim does not have the right to be said nor deemed "free speech".

 

It might, for example, be just as reasonably deemed vilification or verbal assault.

 

I say that as a person, who has certainly on occasion overstepped on the "free speech" thing in my lifetime.

Kill two birds with one stone and hang them by the hollowed out earlobe.

Best part of this thread by far:

 

"gassing the juice"

 

Certainly we can all get behind OJ's comeuppance

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I heard the dog had quite a few saucy pics of Kate Barkinsale too.

Trying to plead you're not a racist and then turning up to court with one of Britain's most famous violent racists; not a smart move.

It’s fucking mental that the right wing nutcase is the one defending free speech.
