Ok cool.

Well you can keep that in the US. We're happy having that not be the case.

Freedom of speech is not limited geographically. There are a good many regimes in the Middle East that also prefer we "keep it in the US."

ChiefBell says... #4

Verbal abuse is illegal in the UK. Free speech isn't legally defensible here in SOME cases.

March 15, 2015 1:27 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #5

And last time I checked the first amendment isn't internationally recognised either. So yeh, it is geographically constrained, like most elements of law.

ChiefBell says... #6

I don't know if you have a passport (I'm not being mean, I seriously don't), but they usually detail those things in them. Ie. when abroad you agree to abide by their laws rather than those of your native country. They explicitly explain that law is geographically constrained.

we can argue all day about offensive speech. the main deal is this: if it is not targeted at a specific individual, i don't see a problem with it. there are certain types of speech that can be controlled by the U.S. government, such as fighting words, slander, etc. But you have to prove that some sort of harm was caused by the speech. if there is no harm, then there is no problem

March 15, 2015 1:34 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #8

That's fine. But that's your law. It doesn't extend to other nations.

March 15, 2015 1:37 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #9

I mean sure, you can TRY to exercise absolute free speech in the UK but you won't get far.

March 15, 2015 1:38 p.m.

I'm not talking about law. I'm talking about fundamental human rights. Freedom of speech is one of those.

A fundamental right is universal, and any "authority" that would challenge it should itself be challenged.

March 15, 2015 1:47 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #11

Yes it is true that section 5 of the public order act is in disagreement with article 19 of the human rights act.

March 15, 2015 1:51 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #12

However defense of article 19 clashes with articles 2, 5, 12.

And you know the US isn't so hot on 25.

So it's all a mess.

March 15, 2015 1:56 p.m.

It's bound to be because there can be no absolute achievement of all rights. Some things conflict with others.

Nooooo! All my kitten throwing for naught!!! Epochs page! :P

VampireArmy says... #16

Useless argument this is. The uk law doesn't work either. I've had quite a few people testify to That. Won't get into detail too much. All I'm saying is all ideals ans ideas need to be challenged. If they can't you've created fear not order.

Had an opposing group try to shut down a facebook page i frequent today. Guess what? They failed and using totalitarian taxtics of silence proved that they had no real argument. I'm pretty livid about it

In the U.S isn't cyber bulling punishable by law?

March 15, 2015 2:55 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #18

It's not so much what is and what isn't, it's the inadequacies and contradictions within the law.

March 15, 2015 2:57 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #19

So be it then but i would like to keep my right to openly disagree with you.

I'm a little worked up. I need to go before i say something foolish. Good night

Hey guys, do you know how to un-upvote a deck? It's to make my scapeshift first of its category on the website again, and beat GlistenerAgent's one again :'(

March 15, 2015 3:09 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #39

If you could haves be superpower what would it be? It could be so,etching fairly mundane like the ability to run at 10 miles an hour, or it could be something really special like the ability to shoot laser beams from your eyes. What would you have? Don't be shy now Epochalyptik - I want to hear from you too!
