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

It's just the most influential democracy on the entire planet and far ahead of us in dealing with these issues and ill thought out concepts that legalise discriminatory practices rather than pursue meritocracy

I’d love to know what objective standard you’re basing your opinion on seeing as the US has failed to ratify numerous international human rights treaties, and those that they have ratified? Only when they could include numerous exceptions which they claim were already provided for in domestic law, with the result that these same international treaties can’t be invoked in US Courts.

As for being far ahead of us in dealing with these issues, well, like I said earlier - they do things the same, but differently. In the case you were so giddy about earlier, the facts were that Harvard, Yale and UNC were using the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act which permitted affirmative action, but they were taking the piss, favouring black students at every stage of the selection process, at the expense of Asian and white students. It took years to get before the Supreme Court.

As for ‘pursuing meritocracy’, you accused another poster of gaslighting earlier, your own examples a doozy. The education system in the US isn’t based on meritocracy, it’s based on affordability, and entry into Ivy League schools even more so! The schools in question could take a few token blacks among the student population because it meant they received billions in Federal funding for affirmative action programs.

The Supreme Court decided that yeah, they’re taking the piss, best put a stop to that because it was never the intent of affirmative action or Civil Rights legislation. They were 60 years overdue, quite the opposite of your claim that the US are ‘well ahead of us in dealing with these issues and ill thought out concepts that legalise discriminatory practices rather than pursue meritocracy’.

Asian Americans have been systemically discriminated against for near on 30 years but because they are Asian somehow it's ok to fuk them over.

Well it's not, not now, not ever and that applies to all groups not just selected ones

Oh give over, earlier in the this very thread your complaint about the bill in question was that it would mean white men would be treated unfairly; now you’re getting all indignant about the treatment of Asians in the US. Have you forgotten that the cases you’re referring to were also based upon demonstrating unlawful discrimination against white students?

All you’re demonstrating is the idea of the ‘model minority’ stereotype. It’s not just Asian Americans who have been historically fcuked over, black people too have been historically fcuked over in the US. This isn’t even disputable. It was the intent of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 to address these injustices and inequality in the US. The stereotypes of American Asians which fuel the ‘meritocracy’ myth are just as racist as the stereotypes which fuel the low expectations of black Americans. The outcomes are that Americans are just less likely to treat some American Asians unfavourably, than they are to treat black Americans unfairly.

There are only 2 sexes, male and female according to the definitions you’ve provided. So how is there tens, if not hundreds, of genders if gender is based on sex? Male and female

Your explanations of gender are all based on sex. Did you even read the links you posted??

I've given official definitions from two worldwide respected dictionaries and the World Health Organisation - can't do more that that, which is why I'm not getting involved any more. If you want to ignore said official sources and and believe what you want to believe instead, then on you and there's nothing I can or want to do that'll make continuing in any way practical.

Lol. You are twisting this completely on its head. Its absolutely hilarious to see you claim people who stand against racism and sexism are the racists and sexists. By your twisted and absurd nonsensical logic you are racist against White Americans because you complained Asian Americans have been fuked over.

What do you think the Equality Act 1998 is about?

There is nothing to stop anyone walking into any toilets. Having a picture of a man or woman on the door isn't the kind of magic protection you think it is!

The reason for women only toilets is to stop assaults happening? Really? Where did you get that piece of information?

And it's worrying that you believe all men and boys to be predators.

The case was nothing to do with a trans person and my response was nothing to do with a trans person.

Feel free to read it again and respond to the points I made.

Well unfortunately all people are capable of carrying out some horrendous attacks on others. Everyone. That is actually the world we live in. I don't believe most people spend their days worrying about being attacked though!

The fascination with toilets is just wierd. Most women and children are attacked, assaulted or raped by people they know. Husbands, brothers, fathers etc.

If you actually look at the facts, then in order to reduce attacks, we should take all men away and isolate them. Which of course is ridiculous!

Random attacks are rare, thankfully. Random attacks in toilets are even rarer!

I have been in plenty of restaurants in Dublin where the toilets are together in the same small area. I have literally never thought, not once, that I could be attacked by a man in the toilets.

Seperate toilet facilities, if there is space is grand, but so are unisex toilets.

Tbh, if an establishment wants to set up a 'safe area' for women......I'd prefer if it was some nice area, not a smelly old toilet

🤣🤣🤣

Everyone's stupider than you

Your posts are hilarious and can't be taken seriously when you paint yourself as over intelligent and everyone else as lacking intelligence. Thanks for the laughs 👍

You're going to get into trouble for saying or writing something 'hateful' about someone else's race/gender/orientation/ethnic background/possibly something else - even if there's no evidence that it was malicious or that you intended to do anything illegal based on your thoughts.

The Powers that Be refuse to define 'hateful' though, and there's a perception that this is intentional, so that they can basically target as many people as possible. A lot of people are worried that what they say/write will be misinterpreted as hate when it's just disagreement, this infringing on their free speech.

Potentially hate opinions for example: there are only two genders, homosexuality is immoral, immigrants are lazy/criminals/only coming to Ireland for welfare handouts, catholics are evil and so on.

Sharon Keogan gives the jist of one section, section 15 in particular covering warrants.
