Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022 - Read OP

The only real issue I see there is an arrest happened for a civil matter. Legislation shouldn't let any fringe nut just have someone arrested like that for a slap.

Not only anti liberal, anti free speech. “Disagree or criticise and there will be consequences” is their mantra.

There he is freedom of speech loving John posting another angry post about how other people use words.

Under what sub section and subject would anything I say would be deemed hateful?

Be specific please.

Anything negative whatsover about the protected peoples.

And remember it's someone else's interpretation - so it could be anything.

I think given this new law, people who use pronouns on their social media profiles , Facebook, Tiktok, Linkdin etc, should be expected to update their pronouns daily, every morning, perhaps email every other employee....it's only fair, how will the rest of us know for sure what a person is identifying as on any particular day...politicians should lead the charge on this, how else am we to know what Simon Harris is identifying as on any given day? You know we will get sneaky one's changing their pronouns overnight in the hope they land some poor git in jail!!! I wouldn't put it past Harris, he is a virtuous narcissist!

'Those who wish to give stronger powers to the authorities to prosecute others for views they don,t like or agree with under the guise of " hate speech " ought to be careful what he / she wish for as the same laws can also be equally used against them as happened to this activist.'

She went to the farmhouse where these priests were living to "question and photograph" them.

AFAIK the powers that be are trying to discourage 'activists' from going to people's homes after a load of protestors showed up outside Donnelly and Varadkar's houses last year.

I think your wider point is correct. "Ultra-conservatives", Catholics, Mormons, anti-vaccines, Muslims etc. can launch complaints too, either genuine or nuisance complaints, and who now is in a position to tell them to just grow a thick skin?

Oh FFS.

Hyperbole much?

Lets take a few of the oh wont someone think of the children shrieking moments from this post.

We may have come a long way technically, but some people are still behaving like they did back in the salem witch trials.

Can you give me on example from Ireland that is similar to the Salem witch trials

Has anyone for example been pressed to death yet?

When you tare out a person's tongue you're not proving them a liar, you're just telling the world you fear what they could potentially say

I assume you mean tear not tare. Name one case of a tongue being torn out in Ireland in recent times. Not even related to this topic but any single incident in the last 100 years of a tongue being torn out as punishment?

Comedy is another thing that's being attacked by lunatics.

Well I'm laughing at your post but I'm not sure if you meant it as comedy.

Ah the usual when you cant debate the issue resort to insulting peoples appearance. How desperate you must be to try and cause insult and get an angry post in reply.

But really what a stupid thing to say. All people I don't agree with look like this, aint I right boys, boys boys, eh all those people we disagree with are ugly. I would genuinely expect a better level of discourse from my four year old daughter.

In summation this post is childish I really hope this isn't your best effort B2TB.

Yes and the, uh, "alliance" between LGBTQ and Islam is now breaking down in Michigan apparently. Who could have seen that coming?

Britain too:

"Weeks of protests wracked Birmingham when local schools sought to teach “LBGT-inclusive content” to young students. At one point, LGBT campaigners and their children were pelted with eggs by protesters, and about half the school’s students were voluntarily withdrawn from classes by parents."

Do me a fvaour, please and STOP refering to social justice warriots as "liberal" - they are NOT liberal!

Do you support intimidation and harassment outside peoples homes?

No

The intimidation and harassment outside the homes of Varadkar, Donnelly and Harris was disgusting.
