free speech utopia poland arrests woman for "offensive painting"

Because absolutely nothing should be above criticism.

Well, apparently, saying mean things about a certain POTUS or mocking boobies games is super verboten.

Depends on thwart, really.

lol that is true and funny

[Frogguh]

Not surprising, religion is all about trying to protect itself from criticism instead of debating.

Yeah that's pretty much the stupidest thing I've heard in a very long time, and you are being compared to AOC here.

Atheists and leftists are the ones who fear debate and criticism of their own beliefs. Christians have an entire field known as "apologetics" in which they defend the faith, including debates. Maybe you should learn a few things before embarrassing yourself.

Discriminating or committing hate speech isn't criticism though.

Hate speech could be criticism. It's just it was hateful thus it hurt someone's feelings.

Meanwhile in Canada, the liberal democratic haven of free speech.

Dude the church literally murdered people that proved them wrong in the past. Now it's all about the smokescreen so no one realizes the wrongdoings and misconceptions it has.

This thread isn't about the left though. But yeah, both left and right wingers will try put their ideas above criticism when they know they can't win a debate.

[Bakis]

After 2 pages and hate speech being thrown left and right.
What made her mockery into hate speech?

I don't see the point of this thread. When has Poland been presented as free speech Utopia for the sarcasm of the OP to be warranted?

So what @PrimaryColor said was the stupidest thing you've heard in a long time and you instantly decided to one-up them?

Being religious isn't a choice. You can't just will yourself into belief. You either believe or you don't.

So people who find faith later in life and people who abandon it, do not make a choice?

[PC2]

No, it's not. Hate speech is along the lines of "these fucking inbred (insert religion) shouldn't be allowed to be here" or "kill all (insert religion)" or calling them rapists or other things. That's not criticism at all.

Saying someone shouldn't be somewhere is free speech. A physically violent threat is its own violation, not be conflated with hate speech.

Not hate speech. She got in trouble for "offending religious feelings". Which for a fucked up reason is penalized in Poland (though by magical coincidence only in cases when its Catholics' feelings that are being offended).

[Jonnusthegreat]

Being religious isn't a choice. You can't just will yourself into belief. You either believe or you don't.

LOL WHAT 10chars

[Bakis]

Starting to believe or losing belief isn't a choice, no.

So, is it genticly infused in those people or are the just quick or slow learners?

Wasnt man created in gods image with a free will and all that.
If so one could at least merit them the gift of reasoning and come to a conclusion either way they go?

[Bakis]

Yes I read it, I simply took an ironic jab at the posters getting all riled up making hate speech YES/NO! posts

[PC2]

I never said it wasn't. The disrespectful comment about "fucking inbred" is what would make it hate speech. Funny how you ignored that.

We don't have hate speech law in the US... It's not consistent with free speech.

[Kumorii]

Being religious isn't a choice. You can't just will yourself into belief. You either believe or you don't.

Then nothing is really a choice in life. Because either you believe this or that which controls how you act and what your morals are. So nothing is a choice.

[Seranthor]

Ah boomzy defending authoritarian regimes to "own" the politically correct libs who dont have an entire government and jail political opponents. you are a true intellectual, jordan peterson fan i assume?

Wait, are you saying the Orange one is now jailing political opponents and having them killed? You really should report that if you have any evidence of this..
