Dont' bring manga into Canada

[Ideologue]

That's rich coming from a country that has a national tv meltdown because an aging pop star shows a nipple on tv.

There isn't an outright ban on nipples, Martinus.  I wouldn't try arguing that the First Amendment protects comic book minor porn on billboards either.  The law this thread was originally about was, of course, about a total ban.  My understanding of Euro hate speech laws is also that any public dissemination is unlawful.

(In fairness, the criminalization of flag/anthem desecration in France is--but only after amendment--also limited by time and place.)

Also, I do not disagree that the reaction was abominably asymmetric, and it is the one area that the United States needs to address and fix in order to perfect our law in the sphere of cultural expression.

[The Brain]

The US has much much stronger freedom of speech than European countries. Because Europeans do not think that free speech is important.

Maybe i just hold more respect for law inforcement then most, but i trust them in most cases. Not all. See Peel Region Police and false officers testimony. Later proven to be false and not looked into further by the crown (crown has to ask police force to look into allegation.sthey don't ask, no one looks).

Also, what's your take on rapists being deported? we hav e a fun thread going on.

It's always safe to look at the hands of law enforcement. For one, they are usually dumb and, as a consequence, underpaid. Which makes them corrupt.

Oh i agree (not the dumb part and IIRC they get paid pretty well with a great retirement package) and there should be a lot of scrutiny on officers. which is why the situation  i described distresses me.

You keep taking Poland as being representative of the West.

Police are quite well paid over here.

So are Crowns in most jurisdictions.  Like Alberta.

Police are quite well paid over here.

Maybe, but not so well paid for the amount of danger that one has to put up with.

You mean they could choke on a doughnut while tasing a pot smoking student?

Why are the guns dripping blood?  That's why guns were invented, to avoid that sort of thing.

Things that you kill with a gun still bleed.

Guns are distance weapons.  They tend to be ideal at avoiding getting blood on oneself.

[Habbaku]

No, not Hortlund, I was Oxenstierna back in the old forum. We have been over this several times before.

I refuse to believe there are more idiotic Swedes like this. You are Hortlund. Stat.

Stat?

Already noted.  He doesn't actually know what it means.

Depends on the circumstances.  Still, they are proverbially soaked in blood.

[Habbaku]

No, those guns are literally soaked in blood.

[garbon]

Our states are literally guns soaked in blood.
