    Cool story bro

    Cool attempt at trying to be cool long after that particular smart reply was slightly funny. Bro.

    The poster you quoted is absolutely spot on with their post.

    Not bothering would have been even easier.

    See the usual posters adding nothing and trying to distract the conversation in the hopes of ultimately getting it shut down because their ideology of fascism is under the microscope.

    Are you sure it wasn't the Deep State?

    Anyway, these laws aren't passed by liberal governments. The UK hasn't really had an actual liberal government since, well ever?

    It was also passed under Blair, a man people can hardly claim was a liberal or PC enthusiast.

    Oh, and as a liberal, this kid going to jail for this is literally a retarded move.

    Reading some of the threads on social media recently is making me wonder what form of expression or speech will be frowned upon next? 1984 perhaps?

    Havnt the police got murderers and rapists to catch instead of wasting their time with this nonsense.

    Do you seriously think there is some merit in this affair?

    In people posting these threads every day? No merit at all

    The OP itself, totally ridiculous. But can we not get an outrage quota for AH? These threads suck the life out of the place

    You make fair point.

    Yup, but this will fit in with the statistics on how they're doing everything they can to address hate crimes...

    Cool story bro

    Good to see the mods avoid trying to raise the intellectual level of debate beyond idiotic one-liners.

    BTW, ask a grownup to explain the difference between a story and a scenario. Might be enlightening.

    Maybe you should look at how utterly insane your post was.

    Maybe you should occasionally think about things rather than immediately leaping to the defence of whoever you think is on the same side as yourself.

    Please ignore the trolls, there is scope for agreement here be you left, Center or right, this is an absolute abuse of power and going down this path should scare all thinking individuals, where does this end? Even if your not to worried now as your "side" is exercising their "power" what if a proper right wing government gets into power and seeks their "revenge"? I'll guarantee one thing, I'll not be seen as a hypocrite then, my opinion on this Orwellian sh1t won't change, we must protect free speech and expression at all costs. When they start burning books the burning of people usually follows.

    Oh fantastic burn, just fantastic.

    If you want to be serious, we could talk about how that is a bit on the personal abuse side.

    Please ignore the trollspeople that are zero craic.

    I could also point if being serious on all things that must be serious because we are in a serious thread about serious stuff that calling people trolls is against the charter.

    Orwell would have been gobsmacked, though - he always assumed the Fascism would be Right-Wing in origin. :pac:

    No worse than your own attempt.

    Gas man - throws out the smartarsery, and then gets all offended when he gets it back. Almost snowflake-like one might say.

    That's a really ****ing stupid series of events and both the PC and the judge involved should be facing inquiries into their decisions.

    Cool virtue signalling bro, or is it broette on this account?

    0 offense hombre, I've thicker skin than that.
    Actually scratch that, I'm offended that you have insinuated that I am snowflake-like. Are you comfortable that the person that you have accused of not being in school/college is almost snowflake like? Like are you really comfortable that you who has just swanned into this thread and complain about mods and insult intelligence of others is using the term snowflake-like to get a rise out of someone?

    Think about it, gas man, you of such incredible wisdom and intellect has insinuated that I am snowflake-like. Surely you in your intellect raising ability is better than that.

    And I'm going to add a smiley face here to hopefully convey that this is light hearted and not to be taken serious.

    :)

    How could this possibly be in the spirit of the law.
    Quoting someone else's written work should not be considered hate speech. It wasn't directed towards anyone.
    Hope no white people have done audiobooks of Hemingway or mark twain. They'll be going straight to prison.
    As will the cast of white chicks and django in chains.

    Hope this gets appealed
