Party for Freedom...yeah, sure...

[brian ross]

That makes you rather unique amongst the Tories, "Nicole".

Is Bri Bri stereotyping? Tsk tsk... your fellow fucknuckles aren't going to appreciate your highlighting of leftist hypocrisy.
Off to the lefty regressive re-education camp for douchnozzle sausage wallets for you, before you make them all look bad.

Yes it appears clear it is ok to stereotype "Tories", but not Muslims, Aboriginals, LGBQI, etc.

Is that about it, Brian? I have to leave now. The stench of hypocrisy in here is acidic.

'

I must remember that when you next stereotype Muslims, Indigenous Australians, LGBQI, etc, "Nicole". Tsk, tsk.

Knock yourself out you hypocrite.

I'd still like you to address the actual issues, which is the stifling of free speech including on the internet by the progressive left in this country. It's YOUR thread, so debate the points made or get off the pot.

I am not, despite what you appear to believe, on any, "pot," "Nicole". I merely posted a link to a newspaper article, nothing more. I do that to provoke discussion. It appears to have worked but as usual I get the blame for what the newspaper journalist reported. Tsk, tsk.

Address the message, "Nicole" and stop attacking the messenger, is what I would suggest.

So, you want me to address the "stifling of free speech." You seem to be under the misunderstanding that Australians actually have a right to freedom of speech. Would you care to point out where that right is inscribed? I can't find it. There is an implied right, created by the High Court, to a freedom of political speech but again it isn't actually written in plain English.

Australians have never had a right to real Freedom of Speech, "Nicole". They have enjoyed considerable privileges but that privilege has been curtailed at various times, usually during wartime. Australians IMO have enjoyed relaxed laws on Freedom of Speech over the last ~50 years. However, today those laws are being tightened and so you're reacting. I'd suggest you learn to live with it, "Nicole". Of course, you could always migrate to the USA where they do have a right to Freedom of Speech. What is occurring is society is starting to rein in what people can say online and in public. People are getting fed up with being offended. Both Left and Right have been doing this so you really cannot blame it exclusively on the Left as you have.

[IQS.RLOW]

You really are a censorious little nazi fuckstain.
Such a shame for you, that your ilk is as unsuccessful at getting what you truly desire as you are at life in general.

I do hope you are practicing focusing your eyes on brickwork while close up?

[Valkie]

And the reason freedom of speech is being eroded is because frightened little turd like you think tgat by removing freedom of speech you will feel all nice and fuzzy.

Sadly, by covering up, midi g, forcing underground and generally censoring society, one generates an underground movement , a movement that grows more and more militant as there is no real discussion, simply growth off each other.

This then manifests itself as rebellion, or as we have seen recently, the development of some nutcase who decides to take the situation into his own hands.

Sure, go ahead, stifle as much information and free speech as you like.
But from this even more trouble will grow.

The only honest way is to allow free speech and give both sides the opportunity to discuss things freely, with open minds.

Prohibition didn't work because people will always find a way.

And what precisely is so horrendous about "hate speech"?

Oh that's right, some insecure halfwit might get their feelings hurt ... so what?

Now the commy social vandals can't (yet) criminalise my emotions but are determined to prohibit me expressing them.
So I can hate whoever I want but can't say so? ... Get the phuk off my planet!

And as for ScoMo's 'Abhorrent online material' legislation ... jam it up your coit!
The Christchurch mozzy zapper was the best game of Zombie Apocalypse ever!

[billy the kid]

I find it amusing when the left complain about being offended.
We have to stamp out the offending material.
Why?
Nothing happens when you get offended.
I get offended every day when people drive past me whilst talking on their cell phones.......doesnt really bother me....I couldnt give a toss.......if they kill themselves or someone else...I cant do much about that...hope the pricks get fined.....
Nothing happens when you get offended....you dont wake up the next morning with leprosy....
Who fkin cares if youre offended........

[Valkie]

There is a simple premise that some nutcases just don't get

You cannot give offence

You can only take offence

I'm offended by our grubberment bring the scum of the world into my country.
I'm offended by abbos calling me an invader, I was born here, I'm as Australian as they are.
I'm offended by muzzos in general
Pedophile marriages
FGM
Terrorism
Hiding their faces under rags
So many things

I am offended by the grubberment stealing my hard earned money to throw at third world cesspit.
I am offended that john howard still walks the earth.

See, you can be offended by anything

So, there is nothing wrong with what is called, "hate speech," Yogi? Really?

I'm sure the Jews in Nazi Germany had no problems with the Nazi propaganda against them. You know, the stuff that claimed the most horrendious of crimes were committed by Jews. You know, the stuff that facilitated the Holocaust.

I'm sure the African Americans didn't or don't have a problem with the White Supremacists spouting their "hate speech" which leads to them being lynched, murdered, having their churches blown up and their children killed, all just 'cause they're black, right?

I'm sure that the Royhinga don't mind the "hate speech" that is directed towards them in Burma? You know the stuff that has them fleeing to Bangladesh in their hundreds of thousands.

I'm sure that the Bosnians didn't have a problem with the "hate speech" that was directed towards them by Serbians as they were rounded up and murdered in Bosnia.

Oh, and how about the Armenians and the Kurds in Turkey? How about the Uighurs in Xinjiang Province in China? How about the Muslims in the Central African Republic, Rwanda, Burundi? The Christians in Northern Nigera, Niger? How about the Christians in China? The Yazedis in northern Iraq? The Kurds in Iraq and Iran? The Ba'hai in Iran? The Yemenis in Yemen?

The list goes on and on. "Hate speech" is usually the lead up to much worse things, much worse indeed. You don't think it would be better to nip it in the bud, before it means that people end up being murdered in the town square in their tens of thousands, Yogi, Mmmm?

[IQS.RLOW]

There goes the ELF again, co-opting and using minorities historically to try and be arbiters of what constitutes "hate speech" today.

In this context, Elf wants the job of nazi propagandist head writer.
