That's not abusive. That's a religious opinion.
Take it up with the author of the Bible. Are they going to outlaw Christianity?
Will this also apply to Islam? I think we all agree that this is nuts.
It's weird how we are expected to swear on the Bible in court
but if we quote from it
we can lose our job or get up to 5 years jail.
Go figure?
as per usual Bobby you PANIC and always look on the bleak side..
quoting the BIBLE is NOT ABUSE...
Morrison has already said religion is hands off.... ANY RELIGION.....in this country.....
you sir very much objected to signage by Muslims regarding" chopping off of heads" in fact we all complained loud and clear...
and as far as I know it hasnt happened since.......
are you going to say SOMEONES HAD THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH REMOVED????
some do claim these are directions in their Koran...

Think again,
Israel Folau only quoted from the Bible
yet his job is in jeopardy.
Now - if these laws are passed -
he'll be looking at 5 years jail.
It's outrageous.

Reminds me of an ex member who had forums closed down and contacted people's work to get them sacked because he didn't like what they said. Part of the always offended brigade. If people are so easily offended they should ditch their computers.
On the other hand there is a lot of jealousy and bullying amongst teenagers and sometimes with a shockingly sad outcome. I don't know if there is any fool proof way to nip that in the bud without the always offended turning it into a farce.
Regarding the first paragraph -- are you sure it is a case of "always offended brigade", or is the person in question just a nutty old sociopath?
Which brings me to a point, actually. How many of these people who want to burn books and shut down freedom of speech are actually offended and not using laws and morals as some sick strategy to get back at people they don't agree with?
And also, addressing your second paragraph, Boss -- I do think the use of social media and the internet for juveniles is a concern, especially for what it is being used for. Bullying, revenge porn etc can do a lot of psychological damage.
Like anything though, it isn't the tool but how the tool is being used. A gun is useless without somebody pulling the trigger. A truck (with common sense used) is fairly safe to drive, until it is used to mow down a crowd of people in a busy steet.
What we need to ask is why people (especially our youth) are so nasty in a world that we are constantly preached to by media stating we are evolved, intelligent "civilized" beings.
Very little has changed. People still use violence, but "smart" people fight their battles passive aggresively these days. And all it takes is one piss weak excuse and they can avoid accountability.
Re the first I definitely think that the "always offended brigade" ARE just a bunch of nutty sociopaths regardless of age and/or gender. They also seem to be filled with bitterness and vengeance for perceived slights against themselves and/or small minority groups they have no part of which makes their defence of these small minorities just a farce. They just seem to want to bitch and moan, point fingers and accuse all and sundry who oppose them. Personally I don't think bitching and moaning gets anyone anywhere. Aussies are complacent and tend to just tune out.
It's like modern day feminists. You could say they support FGM and other atrocities against women by proxy by way of their support for islam. I have never seen 2 things more at cross purposes.
Do you think a lot of bullying amongst our youth should be directed back to parents nowadays for their lazy way of parenting? They plonk their kids in front of a tv until they are old enough to be given a smart phone and a computer. Quiet kids without having to lift too many fingers. Easy peasy. Too many kids are growing up with attitudes of entitlement without having learned to take responsibility and is something they have learned from their parents and our leftie skewed education system. They don't know how to compete because no matter what they do, or don't do, they assume they will be patted on the back for just being and they don't know the once ingrained social norms or how to appropriately treat their peers because they just aren't taught same. They learn what they learn from social media.
School holidays just ended here thank God. Feral kids running riot everywhere. Knocking over old people and generally running riot while their mothers either sit around sipping lattes or are shopping a dozen aisles away not giving a damn what their kids are doing. Lazy parenting.
It's a 'progressive' thing

Thanks Sprint. Shopping last week took me twice as long as usual and left me somewhat frazzled
There seems to be no good time during school holidays nowadays. It's just a day long feral fest.
