    The constitution forbids blasphemy, so the govt had no choice but to make a law making it illegal.

    Shame they didn't sort out a few other laws first, I'm sure there's a recent example of this....can't think of what it could be tho.....

    Why do you feel the need to mock people?

    Why do you feel your beliefs should be above being mocked, or even questioned?

    I have no particular set of beliefs to mock. But i take no pleasure in seeing others have their beliefs mocked. People rely on their beliefs for comfort and reassurance. Who are you to try and take that away from them and why do you feel the need to?

    they can make a law against blasphemy yet they cant legislate on a court recommendation on the X case.
    another waste of time and money.
    what a stupid law.
    It has no place in the 21st century.

    The fact that some people rely on them for comfort or reassurance accords the beliefs no special status whatsoever. I have not tried to take them from anyone.

    Having faith does not grant the believer a special status whereby his beliefs cannot be questioned. Nor can they deny others the chance to question them just because they might get offended.

    That's its, exactly, Its the right to free speech. Its the right to question anything and everything. Its the right to say that other people have a right to their beliefs but you reserve the right to not hold their beliefs sacred or to assign any meaning or credence to their beliefs.

    Mocking anyone is quite infantile.

    coudnt agree more,mocking the individual is infantile but is directing it at the beliefs of someone still considered a personal attack on the person? :confused:
    woud also say it depends on whether its true mocking that was meant or is it refering to questioning someones beliefs instead,questioning our beliefs shoud be encouraged as it helps to learn things may never have thought about,but not if its used in a way to target someone and belittle them.

    If something goes wrong at work I'm always saying Fcukin Jaysus, don't even realise I'm saying it half the time, I think this is mostly an Irish curse word though.

    Like cyber-bullying?

    I see what you did there. You took the place where i said "can" and replaced it in your head with "is". thereby making my statement saying that trolling can be funny, into a statement that it's always funny with no exceptions.

    I doff my hat to you Mr. Troll.

    Had I done that, "Cos it is be funny" wouldn't make any sense at all.
