If nothing else, the British justice system was fair, and.....well- just!<BR/><BR/>As for the global warming topic, I think I'm on the side of those who show that film, Rossa. We have only one environment and one chance to save it. If things appear to be going too far one way now, it's because too many years passed when nothing at all was done. <BR/><BR/>The message being given to the kids can't be bad - can it? Even if it is exaggerated - so what?<BR/>It's a good message - we need to be careful with our planet, it's the only one we have. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-12986166860659877992009-03-24T13:02:00.000-05:002009-03-24T13:02:00.000-05:00Sounds like Oklahoma is turning into Oklahomistan!...Sounds like Oklahoma is turning into Oklahomistan!<BR/>I thought the terrorists 'hated us for our freedoms'.

It is a musical where every song blames man for every ecological disaster including melting the ice and instructs them to badger their parents to mend their ways.<BR/><BR/>Now I view this as out and out indoctrination of our children in order to support a political point of view, and of course they are too young to listen objectively to the message being rammed down their throats and question it.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to edit this comment if it's a bit too strong.

The premise being that anyone joking or making fun of a gay person's inclinations is either inciting hatred of that gay person or is demonstrating hatred of that person. The bill going through Parliament was drawn up for the Muslims to stop religious and racial hatred or incitement against them. A matter of thought control as well as speech.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't work the other way, so Muslims will still be free to preach hatred against the British.<BR/><BR/>There was a perfect case of this only last week when a Muslim group demonstrated at a parade of returning servicemen (from Afghanistan). Placards reading baby killers etc. When some local (white, British) people objected to the demonstrators they were the ones who were arrested for hatred against the Muslim protestors. None of the Muslims were arrested though you could say their shouts and placards were an expression of hatred against the UK, our soldiers and people. That's the way it is going here, I afraid to say.Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-71886028041354568222009-03-23T14:14:00.000-05:002009-03-23T14:14:00.000-05:00RJ ~~ Aye, it is that!But tha knows "All t'wolds's...RJ ~~ Aye, it is that!<BR/>But tha knows "All t'wolds's queer save thee and me....an' even thee's a bit queer". ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-48268545659147241822009-03-23T13:52:00.000-05:002009-03-23T13:52:00.000-05:00Bit different from Yorkshire, eh, lass?Bit different from Yorkshire, eh, lass?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13031052781870002112009-03-23T11:59:00.000-05:002009-03-23T11:59:00.000-05:00Rossa ~~ Hi!That's interesting.

I worked in the Employment Tribunals for 24 years, so know a wee bit about it. <BR/><BR/>I'd have thought that gay discrimination would be more in line with the Sex Discrimination Act which already exists. Gayness is nothing to do with race or religion. <BR/><BR/>The thing about gays joking about it themselves is similar to black people being free to refer to themselves in terms which others cannot use. Seems fair enough to me. And my own hobby horse, age discrimination is no different - I can call myself an old bag, but if anybody else does so, in my hearing - I'll jump on 'em. :-D<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now that part about global warming....seems to make no sense.<BR/>It sounds as though things have got way out of balance! Perhaps it has been reported out of context though. That's not unknown!! <BR/><BR/>I wonder if "belief" in astrology could be used as a defence.....Hmmmmm!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-54391043699151873962009-03-23T11:31:00.000-05:002009-03-23T11:31:00.000-05:00And we have the new Racial and Religious Hatred la...And we have the new Racial and Religious Hatred law being debated in Parliament this week. Stonewall the militant gay organisation want to include homosexuality into the legislation so that you won't be able to make a joke about a gay person as that will be classed as an offence under the new law.<BR/><BR/>It seems it will be ok if you are gay, to make a joke about being gay but if of any other persuasion that will be a criminal offence!<BR/><BR/>A Judge has also just ruled that a person's "philosophical belief" in climate change and global warming can be used as a defence in an employment tribunal under religious discrimination law. There is a suggestion that if his defence is successful then this could be used to silence any debate about anything at all. So if you disagreed with something that someone sincerely "believed" in you could be prosecuted and locked up.<BR/><BR/>So the end of free speech is in sight at this rate.Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-83919804610870867872009-03-23T09:23:00.000-05:002009-03-23T09:23:00.000-05:00AN ~~ The idiocy of it is, the very same people ...AN ~~ The idiocy of it is, the very same people who would like to limit some freedoms are the first ones to yell if anybody mentions gun control, which could limit their own freedom to bear arms.<BR/><BR/>Mad, mad world!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-58555189394419557012009-03-23T09:21:00.000-05:002009-03-23T09:21:00.000-05:00WWW ~~ This surprised me - but as you say, crazies...WWW ~~ This surprised me - but as you say, crazies are everywhere, like weeds they spread very easily too.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-73353837919229657782009-03-23T04:07:00.000-05:002009-03-23T04:07:00.000-05:00Two people there I don't have much time for, yet I...Two people there I don't have much time for, yet I would defend their freedoms always.
