Ireland politics (Part 2)

@Thomas_Brady

I hope this to be true but it’s clear the left don’t want certain topics debated at all and this looks to be the tool they’ll use to curtail it

You’re dead right, it’s clearly part of the extreme leftists (Fine Gael) agenda.

[Thomas_Brady]

Fianna Fail/ Fine Gael.

[Juhniallio]

Where is that pasted from. It’s mad if it’s true.

[Thomas_Brady]

That’s the road we are heading down. Very slippery

[glasagusban]

They’re the left now according to you?

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Put up link there now.

Conviction was quashed on appeal.

Leeds preacher's sentence for trans woman's harassment quashed

[Juhniallio]

At least it was quashed. Madness.

Edit. Although i would say ‘calmness’ seems to be a highly subjective subject. My wife and kids when it suits seem to claim i occasionally lack it when im being ‘firm’ in my assessment of a situation.
I feel likewise. The lines are not always drawn 3-1 and can often flip depending on the argument. I suppose what im saying is this preacher may well have been baiting the fella in the dress and antagonising him… still not hate speech in my book but we’ve all cheered when a prick gets his comeuppance… cc @TheUlteriorMotive

[Thomas_Brady]

They’re deploying left tactics of shutting down debate.

[glasagusban]

No, you’re making that up.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

I suppose people should be free to tell somebody their God isn’t real and that their gender isn’t real without it being a crime.

I’m sure it depends on how you tell them. I suspect we’ve had many discussions on atheism in the media in the last thirty years that haven’t ended in court cases.

[glasagusban]

Will you stop being so reasonable. It doesn’t suit the narrative for the headbangers and racist scumbags.

[Juhniallio]

You’ve just called them racist scumbags mate. There’ll be a knock on the door shortly…

[Special_Olympiakos]

Racism is already a hate crime. Don’t be muddying waters to suit an argument

[glasagusban]

The ones trying to muddy anything are the headbangers and racist scumbags.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

The mindset that banned the Last Temptation of Christ or the Life of Brian is the same mindset that wants to insist people confirm to their opinion on gender identity. It’s borne of a fear that people being allowed express a contrary opinion holds up their ideas to scrutiny they may not withstand.

[Tim_Riggins]

We had Gay Byrne for that.

Local Government Act 2001 section 176.

Quote me that please.

Go and read it yourself and then come back and acknowledge your clamping.

You’re the person claiming Collins is a criminal. It’s up to you to prove he is.
