You CAN use humor to address tragedy. Here's how it's done.-thumbnail

Hulu is racist and doesn't allow non-Americans.

Marriage started as a ceremony to change ownership of a woman to that of another man. That then progressed when women weren't as objectified. It instead became a contract to say "hey, you're allowed to have babies now".

In modern society, it's now just the most extreme way of saying "I love you".

Yeah....

I suppose the difference is the UK has had a lot longer to not be so up tight about certain issues. Generally, being a dick if severely frowned upon.

It's probably too late to introduce that kinda law in the US anyway.

I'll be doing a lot of writing during finals...-thumbnail

The UK doesn't abuse it. It more stops public hate rallies, as the UK recognises that that causes more violence. You're not allowed to be publicly "hateful" (the above kinda hate, or type that results violence) about people's gender, sexuality and religion. People haven't been excessively arrested over stuff they say.

They knew that kids still needed fathers, but the courts still generally ruled in favour of the mother. As in, the child would grow up with the mother and visit the father every other weekend, or whatever.

Single fathers vs single mothers is a hard one. Again, you're more likely to get a single mother but that's more to do with how the court is only just changing how they rule things.

There is only one case there where it resulted in true arrest which was Matthew Woods, because of his comments on a story that had gripped the entire UK. He was suppose to get community service, but the judge deemed that it would be too unsafe for him not to be jailed.

The other case there actually states that the US would have charged him for terrorist actions, had the case been taken to the US.

The third case is, again, the fact that the US brought terrorist charges on UK citizens again because of something that had been taken out of context.

Still failing to see how that law is bad. Clearly it works better than in the States, where you can be arrested for colloquialisms

Meadock is different. He doesn't do it intentionally.

Bullshit.

I may have missed something, but from my knowledge no-one in the UK has been given jail time over hate speech over the internet. Back up your stories.

Yeah....-thumbnail

Yeah....

Yeah, we have the same issues with the BNP. Although... two members of the WBC aren't allowed in the UK. They were suppose to be preaching at a rally (among with others) but because the UK felt it would cause mass riots/an increase of hate crime, they're not allowed in.

Helpful explanation!-thumbnail

Helpful explanation!

Can you elaborate on how it's unnatural? What's natural to someone is different per person, as it's about what you naturally do. When someone points a camera in my face, I shy away. That's my natural reaction. Other people go "HEY A CAMERA!!!" and get excited about it. That's natural for them.

Arguably, you've been dealing with "extreme liberals" when I'm the sort of person who believes in complete equal rights for everyone. So everyone is the same and that gender, sexuality, disability and race does not "exist", so to say. So that people aren't discriminated due to something they have no control over (whilst I know transexuals change their gender, so arguably have control on that, they cannot control the fact they were born into the wrong body).

Non-heterosexuals have been documented throughout history. It's only when Christianity became so huge that it started becoming an issue. Homosexuality can also be seen in the wild.

But back to extreme liberals. What they want is quite different to what will actually happen. Believe it or not, homosexual and pro-gay parents are not keen on the idea of sex being shoved in their kid's face, no matter what the kind. School wise, they just want an even teaching of it (men can like men, some people are born into the wrong bodies, etc) so that kids don't feel bad/wrong for not fitting the social norm.

Yeah....-thumbnail

Yeah....

I disagree. The UK has restrictions on Freedom Of Speech, and we can still openly say what we feel about things. Public rallies of Hate Speech (what the WBC do) is what has been restricted.

It works for us.

Yeah....-thumbnail

Yeah....

Faggot is a bundle of sticks, it was a word before it became an insult in the US. The UK used faggot for cigarettes, which has been shortened to fags.

I have nothing else to add but that I agree with the rest of your statement.

Yeah....-thumbnail

Yeah....
