thats pretty crazy

"thought police"

fucking retards. obviously, he's not being arrested for "thinking" about something.

:2 cents:

This is pretty dangerous territory. On April 16th another 'Holocaust denier' was convicted in Australia for publishing material on the Internet "of an anti-Semitic and/or revisionist nature" which denies, approves of, or plays down the Holocaust.

Maybe you weren't aware of the law before you got there.

That's funny
 

It's also the list of the most fucked up countries in the world.

:321GFY

sorry but if a country puts in your in prison for thought then it's not liberal.

Since when has ignorance been a legal defence?

Clearly that law you would have described is very extreme but then so are some of the actual laws governing women in some countries. Saying that you can't expect to break a countries laws and not get in trouble in that country is not the same as saying those laws are right.

If you wrote down or spoke that thought it is no longer just a 'thought'.

one can express a thought, an opinion.. why are you so angry?

i hope they bring him back dress him in his klan gear and drop him off in compton

[YESTERDAY] - Obama pledges to confront Holocaust deniers

WASHINGTON (AFP) — At a ceremony Thursday remembering millions of Jews slaughtered in World War II, President Barack Obama reaffirmed the strong US bond with Israel and vowed to confront Holocaust deniers...

K..brn2h8 we get that a lot of countries don't like people denying the holocaust.

BUMP... for those that don't know of the injustices...

Fantastic analogy.

You are an idiot.

Agreed. He wasn't arrested for his thoughts and is free speech a guaranteed right there?

If you are going to play their game it helps to know their rules. :2 cents:

Too fucking bad.

No one put him in prison for his thoughts.

i hope they have some big ass gay polar bears:1orglaugh in that prison

It's all good until someone takes YOUR rights away.

Hopefully some sexual deviant will rape your mother, sister, daughter, etc then perhaps you won't be so desensitized... FUCK YOU !!!!

David Duke is a piece of shit that is not worth the price of the bullet I would gladly put in his brain.... having said that the government prosecuting someone for their beliefs is wrong. I am well aware that Europe does not revere freedom of speech like the US but that does not change the fact that the criminalization of ideas is a very bad idea and inevitably leads to tyranny.

If you can criminalize David Duke's beliefs (however ridiculous and offensive they are) how long until denying global warming or being skeptical of the EU are considered dangerous and unlawful speech? It is a very slippery slope.

Or strung up in front of their families and hanged for that matter ;)

Urge to fulfill a kinky fantasy?

I'd probably agree with Fletch if it wasn't for the fact that David Duke is a great big fucking douche bag.


Judging by that second line, you are pretty desensitized yourself. brassmonkey hopes that a former KKK leader gets penned-in with gay polar bears and your response is to wish that his entire family gets raped. Yup, that's sensitivity alright.

So do you suggest that we TOLERATE people placing restrictions on our beliefs, regardless of how ridiculous they may be? I don't think so. TOLERANCE = putting up with evil, so where would you draw the line?

Would you tolerate pedophiles teaching in school?
Would you tolerate murder in the streets?

I urge you to lose the elitist attitude, and recognize that ALL of our beliefs, whatever they are, are in jeopardy, WORLDWIDE...

Yes actually. You are. It's calling taking responsibility for your actions. I know that's never been a strong suit for most people... Being completely ignorant might be a default state for some people but it's no defense. No.. you do not go and deal porn in Saudi Arabia... No I can't come from Australia and open up a brothel in most of the US.. No I can't grow some weed for personal use there.. No.. you can't talk shit in an ex Nazi country. It's like complaining that the guy who brooke into the Lion's enclosure at the zoo and got eaten didn't get a fair shake.
Is it wrong that these countries have laws prohibiting free speech? Of course.. but... just.. dont... go .. there... No one put a gun to his head and forced him to poke the wasp's nest. It's not like he's some dupe with an extra bottle of duty free booze than is allowed.. he'd have known what he was potentially in for.

Captain world police, no one is placing restrictions on your beliefs...those aren't your streets, those aren't your schools... If you've got that much of a hard on over it do something about it.. become a citizen over there and vote accordingly... or maybe you think the UN should make all the laws the same in all countries and you can have your NWO.

You are a slippery slope loony toon. Your examples are nonsense and you have a very small penis. (I'm just guessing.)

David Duke is the scum of the earth and a big fucking black eye on the State I live in.

That being said, he can stand up and deny the holocaust, jesus christ, gravity, or the theory of relativity and should be left the fuck alone.

If that really is a law in the Czech Republic then it's a stupid fucking law. Outlawing certain types of speech isn't how you stop the crazies from becoming powerful.
Allowing ALL types of speech is how you stop the crazies from becoming powerful.

Conceptually the same thing except for the fact that the Czech person would not be arrested in the US for writing a book suggesting GWB was a war criminal and should be put to death.

Not true.

The Secret Service/State Department wouldn't have let him in the country though.

Even so, really bad analogy. I'm not buying it.

People have the right to think and say whatever the hell they want (with the obvious exception of "fire in a crowded theater" and other such things).

Allowing David Duke to say whatever he wants is the only way I can know that Jesse Jackson is allowed to say whatever he wants.

Allowing right wing militia newsletters to print whatever they want is the only way I can know the New York Times is allowed to print whatever it wants.

I hate to break this to you but other countries have their own constitutions. Are there really people that think their constitution applies in other countries?

He isn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

And who even decides they are neo-Nazi's. They may well be, but they just throw the label with no further information, I don't buy it. I love how Europe tries to lecture Turkey on making it illegal to allege the Armenian Holocaust. How is it any different? Fuck the thought police.

:helpme:helpme im guessing you support the evil stuff the kkk does they should be considered terrorist they kill minorities and jews

Two points (the first one not directed at you). Freedom of speech and thought should be a FUNDAMENTAL human right. It exists to protect speech the ruling parties DON'T like, not what they do. Secondly, sometimes the laws need to be challenged. If no one challenged the laws and accepted the status quo many of us would be burning as witches today. These cases have been getting a bit of attention lately (think David Irving), so him being charged is only more likely to shine the light on this bullshit (as is evident in this thread).

Funny, I thought you believed in human rights. Is free speech, thought and expression not included? Guess gay people should just stop being gay when they visit Saudi on business. Or else, if they get hung they should of obeyed the law right? Just because you or I wouldn't risk the prison sentence, doesn't mean anything. Yes, I'd obey the laws too. At times these laws need challenging though, and those of us who don't wish to put our lives on the line for it should not sit down and simply say "well that is the law" when another does.

oh yes:thumbsup

whats next? you get arrested to denying that there is GOD?

:helpme

oh, it is bad

No you don't. You work for a jew so you play along. Nice try anyway..

You are currently the biggest braindead idiot on this board, I expected no less from you than these predictable robot replies but thanks for playing to you too.. moron!
