    also death penalty ... ridiculous that it is still existing in the USA ... state sponsored murder. If you are trying to send the message that murder is wrong, then why are you murdering yourself? Death penalty again is a campaign tool. People get off on it and if a politician is in favor of it then they can count on votes ...

    Christians have way too much influence over the gov't in the USA ... where there is supposed to be seperation of church and state.

    I am no subversive, i love living in florida, i am free to do as i please (since i dont smoke dope anymore) but i am not a flag waiver ... this isnt football, its life, and ignorance and nationalism is dangerous.

    nothing pisses me off more than the "Choose Life" license tags in Florida ... i want to run these people off the road. I want a license tag that says "Pro Choice" with a picture of a coat hanger on it.

    now dont call me a baby killer, im against late term abortions, and im fed up with the trailer trash that are too irresponsible to use protection, and instead go have 10 abortions... but better that than an unwanted unloved child.

    Very good post.

      Agree on most points - I was more curious why France is the exception. Ignoring the tabloid crap and the uneducated bullshit that floats around, as a country it has quite a bit going for it. Biggest PITA there is simply too much red tape and taxes.

        Secondly, an article was written by him saying that all Arabs are babykillers and then wanted to host discussion show the techincally falled under the news department heading. You can't be on such a show if you are known to be so clearly biased on the BBC. Largely do to it being publicly funded.
        The police investigation was mentioned on BBC news. All the rest is unimportant. I don't care if he said all White people in Britian are ugly, stupid, and worthless - a police investigation??? Doesn't sound like freedom to me. Oh thats right, we wouldn't want to hurt someones feelings now...

          I dont know what you have to do in Netherlands to go to jail for 20 years ... And in fact that its one of the safest placest in the world.. I never close my doors here. I never saw any violent issue and I never saw policeman talking loudly or trying to use his position for his own interests or ego ... The only case I had here is some kid put the sticker on my car , on the mercedes sign, and he came to us 2 days after and told me that he did it and he is very sorry about it and brought some chokolad as well.


          If someone thinks that Europe sucks, just come here and see yourself.
          Freedom means freedom here. Its very chilly place to live ...

          Just my 2 euro cent


          P.S. It can be very boring place sometimes thats true ..
          But its just a lifestyle.

            That would be the commision for racial equality making a 'formal complaint' that the police are obliged to follow up no matter how weak it is. Little to do with 'freedom'.

              In the context of Europe as a whole not true - just depends where you choose to live

              Gotta love these threads. Uneducated and uninformed people shouting how ignorant they are at the top of their lungs. Always good for a laugh if nothing else (btw Diz - obviously not a comment aimed at you)

                Are the EU likely to ban internet porn?...
                highly unlikely in my opinion, how could you police this?
                The internet isn't governed by any country
                (although argubly the USA is probably the biggest player)

                You're always going to get 'Mary Whitehouse' type MEP's with little or no knowledge of the internet chipping in what they think..

                As for Kilroy, yes, he was generalising about arabs and arab nations which was what caused the uproar.

                I didn't hear anything about the police investigation but the BBC have been suffering a backlash of bad publicity from a campaign to scrap the licence fee started by the newspaper that printed the article..
                SIGLESS FOR NOW

                        I'd love to go to europe and stay awhile. It's kind of irritating though when some europeans say things like "we're more free than the US." or "we know what real freedom is" when they have laws like are described in the article below when the US has nothing (that i'm aware of) that even comes close to that kind of restriction of free speech.

                          Yea - like it was "kind of irritating" that people on this board jubilated because thousands of French people died during the heatwave last summer.

                              French are the most nationalist people i have ever met, and they have a very strong right wing party which refer to their arabic population as "the brown pest" ... now, to their credit i will say they are not as ignorant to foreign affairs as (a major % of) americans are, but they like to keep to themselves...

                              Hard to explain my personal experience ... i just noticed a distinct difference between the people of france, and every other country ive been to. They seem closed off, defensive ... best i can explain ...
                              Let him who hath understanding reckon the WISDOM of the TOOF!

                                  I'm not French myself - I just felt it was out of place - even on GFY.

                                  It would be like Europeans jubilating during the next earthquake in California. Schadenfreude is the German word for it.

                                    I live here only few years and I traveled alot in Europe..
                                    I share only my personal experience. I am not heavy political person and I dont watch news This is a good side of an european lifestyle. People dont fucking care of media while in US it looks like media managing everything. People in Europe care about different things then in US. Thats why there is impression of more freedom.. I dont have anything that can influence on the way I think or on the way I do something. Nothing can change my freedom caz there is nothing and nobody trying to change it

                                            nobody can ban porn in general but some types of porn
                                            should be banned.

                                                  That would be the commision for racial equality making a 'formal complaint' that the police are obliged to follow up no matter how weak it is. Little to do with 'freedom'.
                                                  I am just wondering why the Police get involved with such things? Seems a bit insane that the police get involved with regards to such things.

                                                  Also, about the BBC being unbiased - give me a break. The very fact that they refer to people such as Le Pen with the word 'extreme'-right is biased enough. Such keywords are simply dropped in by the overly left-wing press.

                                                    The more they complain about it, the more exposure they are giving to the issue which means more sign ups in my opinion, so I say bring it on!!

                                                    They'll never be able to accomplish it anyway.

                                                      EU have been making lots of stupid laws - just take "Digital VAT"

                                                      I would not be surprised if EU Politicians can make somekind of anti porn law covered in anti prostitution laws or anti women trading laws. Politicians usual think they will solve a problem by making a law - their logic is flawed, however that does not keep them for making new laws no one will follow.

                                                      Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid Politicians in Large Groups - like the EU

                                                        Porn will be banned in the US long before they even think about it over here.

                                                        These kind of stories are just tabloid shit or no-name officials trying to get famous.
