{quote} The argument has moved on a bit, from being racist to actually saying something deemed offensive. I don't agree with what you said above, as you might as guessed . The problem is that being offended is it is entirely subjective. Below are three examples of the exact same words offending differently: (1) The same words, said with same tone and body language might offend person A, but not offend person B (lets assume they are both white males). (2) The same words, might offend person A when one tone or body language is used, but might not...
That guy was targeting white women. That is both racist and sexist. He called them sluts - find a woman who doesn't find that offensive! Quote, he also said
"They can't do nothing. I am going to come down your house and blow up you and your house." Threat. So, there you have it all. How is that subjective?

Quote one of the comments:
"Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. It means you can air your grievance against your government without fear of persecution. When he's INCITING VIOLENCE and CAUSING A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, he foregoes any right to free speech." Agree absolutely.

That's different.

You are talking about inciting violence and causing a public disturbance. If I say the exact same stuff in the privacy of my own home, does that also qualify for inciting violence?

I'm not an absolutist, I have even said above in previous posts that inciting violence is different. I also said that racism is different from being a racist because of the material consequences.

My point is that if you cannot define the law, such that is an objective measurement of what it means to 'control speech' in certain situations then you risk applying that law compromising freedom of speech.

And I'm sorry, but offending a person is not a sufficient reason because it is too wishy washy. And as we can see below:

@verv You are now becoming offensive.

BTW who is "we"? as in "we can decide"
People get offended these days very easily, even when you ask them to simply explain their argument... it is a stalling tactic of saying 'please stop', I need my 'safe space'.

Well, clearly the Court doesn't agree with you...... And in the UK, Courts set precedences.

No, it doesn't.

And as I have described above, I have a problem with some of that interpretation - on this point I fully believe the American constitution which exactly outlines limits is better.

See video below, if you disagree with it let me know which parts please.

Granted I understand that 'Section 5' was reformed in the video above. But I remember watching this years ago, and agreeing with everything Atkinson said, his argument is in the same vein as mine.

I do see your point. I think however in the case of that Muslim guy, he was acting aggressively and threatening people. Others feared for their safety. That may be the difference.

Thing is I can see your point also

I don't know where is appropriate to draw the line.

I think it needs serious discussion, and I think 'the line' needs to be as objective as possible.

I'm not happy with the system as it stands though, because I think it is too subjective, and there are no reasonably limits on how to apply the law to the detriment of free speech which I strongly believe should remain free.

But I'm just a forexfactory poster, and I don't think Theresa much cares for old verv's ramblings

Oh and Corbyn should get a fashion coach! How does anybody take some one serious (Corbyn) when they are seen with their tie tucked into their pants?

I'm not sure he would know what an iPad is, but his advisors suggested that it would make him and Jeremy look more technologically with it, to appeal to the "youff" voter
