Harper Conservatives Revivng hate Speech

[tay]

and you know it's about more than religions and terrorists. And to prove it just look to the last line in the story. The owners are winning and Canada is becoming more American every day...............



"The bill from Alberta Conservative MP Brian Storseth passed in the House of Commons last summer, but needed Senate approval. It has received royal assent and will take effect after a one-year phase-in period.

"An 'ecstatic' Storseth said the bill, which he says had wide support across ideological lines and diverse religious groups, repeals a “flawed piece of legislation” and he called Canada’s human rights tribunal “a quasi-judicial, secretive body that takes away your natural rights as a Canadian.

“(Section 13) had actually stopped being used as a shield, as I think it was intended, to protect civil liberties, and started being used as a sword against Canadians, and it’s because it was a poorly-written piece of legislation in the first place,” he said.

Left-leaning supporters of Section 13 are furious at the move.

Liberty is antithetical to lefties.

"Left-leaning supporters of Section 13 are furious at the move".

Left leaning loonies would be more accurate. Most left leaning people I know hated that as much as anybody. The Human Rights Commission has become a tool for silencing any and all descent of certain groups whether they deserve it or not.It is a kangaroo court and needs to be dismantled.

Would anyone be so kind as to give some examples of hate speech in question?

" Go F yourself " - Is this considered hate speech..Or simply a crude reference to masterbation?



Democracy allows all forms of speech.That way we know where the haters are.
So they can be neutralized.

Can one hate themselves out-loud?
- So much for comedy.

Where do we draw the line when we start limiting free speech?

I say Hate all ya want...Just choose your words wisely(politically Speaking)

F*** all the Haters!!!!

As of the first two posts in this thread, we have one painting all conservatives with the same brush, and the next painting all leftists with the same brush. Whatever happened to critical thought?

Me thinks your expectations are too high. Critical thought has been beaten out of most people from birth.

 

[Machjo]

so each and every single 'leftie', without exception, opposes any kind of free speech?

It's as silly as saying that all conservatives without exception are racists.

Equally silly. Individuals are individuals.

 

[relic]

Ha,I was likely beaten more than most,and I'm pretty critical of most of the goomers here.

 

[Corduroy]

As a leftist loon, I feel I should post my support for this in this thread. Well done Comrade Harper!

If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then all Bloops are definitely Lazzies?

Put all your eggs in one basket and you get scrambled eggs.... ;-)

Speeders would like speed limits abolished.
Drinkers would like the road-side breathalyzer eliminated.
Tories would like the hate laws repealed.

lefties and righties hate it.

 

[damngrumpy]

Why do some term everything as left and right, mostly because they have a crusade against
the left which diminishes the right everyday. Hate speech won't be coming back its been there
all along. Again social engineering does not work.
Controlling speech, teen drinking and smoking, pot smoking, illicit sex (prostitution) with consenting
adult, illegal gambling, after hours nightclubs, need I go on These will never be stomped out with
legislation. People will gamble, have sex, smoke whatever they want to smoke, teens will drink and
have bush parties.
The only way to change the equation is to supplement it with something else and then of course some
will use both.
If you want to get rid of hate speech etc you don't do it by suppressing it doesn't work.

And left-winger would like right-winger to just shut up.:roll:

And vice versa.

 

[DaSleeper]

And vice versa.

I imagine you truly believe that.

 

[L Gilbert]

I imagine you truly believe that.

Yep. Being non-partisan and centrist makes observation easier. Ever watched question period in the House? Regardless of whatever party some of those people belong to, some try very vocally to get their targets to stfu.

Don't be a Hater...Be an Environmentally Minded Social Conservative .Non-Partisan.Is that simple.
A little of some..The best of all.

Example: In Hockey... My favorite Team is the team that has the most of my favorite players on it...Chicago does..They are my favorite Team..That simple. I can watch almost any game and always have someone to cheer for.

Can't says I hate any team per say...Only the ones I constantly bet and lose on.

I will not mention any names .

What bothers me about the conservatives nowadays is that there only seems to be a few players on that team playing...And they're all focused on promoting dirty oil sands oil..At any and all costs...Not much else in the mix.. Even less for Canadians and Canada as a whole.

The majority hates those dirty ol' oil games.
