Out of Pod Experience

slippery slope, but I don't agree with what he did. It's a shame that people can do these things and not feel any sort of remorse or common decency. Our society influenced this person to do these actions. I don't believe a custodial sentence is the key here, he needs to change from the inside out not the outside in. In times gone by people people would not of even thought about doing this but with the collapse of social morals on all fronts get used to this becoming the norm or rather get prepared for worse to come.

Logically backwards, and patently false. How would any of these topics even come up if others could just 'not listen'? Protests wouldn't work in the first place, much less be able to reach the point of this conversation. Harassment would be moot and no laws would be needed. Vandalism to write messages on things wouldn't happen because people would just 'ignore' their damage.

I'm sure if the WBC showed up at a family funeral with your kids there, you'd just tell them to walk around the nice people screaming at them because they're fags. Your kids start crying so you just tell them to 'ignore' the angry women chanting that they're going to hell and their dead relatives are being burned alive over and over while waiting for them.

If you reduced speech to only be allowed when others could 'not listen' this would be the most controlling country in the world, where almost nothing would ever be allowed to be expressed.

No. Sorry. You once again pop into the thread to make a statement that might sound okay at first, but goes no where and makes no sense in the context of the real world, like a comedian dropping one liners that aren't funny.

That's not what he said... he doesn't even think the topic poster should have been sent to jail. You and I seem to differ on where the line is, but it seems he thinks there is no line at all and anyone can say anything to anyone regardless of what harm it causes.

At least that's how I read it, I won't put words in his mouth if that's not what he meant I'm sure he'll clear it up.

In the uk we have the right to not be harrased by arsewipes, over here they would have been arrested and fined every single time under the public order act.

Why would we want to, you can keep them

Why is everyone talking about trolling here? Everything this guy has said/done has nothing to do with trolling or freedom of speech for that matter. I am for freedom of speech...to some degree at least. Some things just shouldn't be said because it is just verbal violence which in some cases can be more severe than a punch to the teeth.

But apparently the internet brings up the worst of humanity and another douche-bag thought his life would be less empty by saying and making these horrible things. If I was the father of this poor girl I would have shot him in the head but you can't have everything. This is just plain Darwinism, scum like this are at the bottom of the human ladder and it is just a matter of time until they fall down.

Call it freedom of speech like everyone else in this thread. ^^

true, but did he only made a comment once on their facebook or w/e he did it, or did he spam post them? there's a difference between leaving a single post saying "I'm glad she's dead"(still tasteless btw) or spamming the page with messages like that.
one is voicing an opinion, the other is harrassing.

Off course if he would do this face-to-face or hang banners in the street and such he'd probably get a restraining order but doing that for the internet is almost impossible to enforce(if not completely)

Er... you could try reading the article linked in the OP.

Its not even really a mosque. The vast bulk of the building was going to be a community center open to everyone with a prayer room on one of the lower floors.
