Yes that’s real. Clownish as it is...

also that author name 🤣

If you can get arrested for "have a gay day" then you can definitely get arrested for racial slurs

i do think i remember this incident or at least something similar, didn't know that they redressed it as homophobia, only knew about the islamophobia part

its pretty fucked that they consider it basically blasphemous to say anything negative about islam, but you make fun of jesus and its all sunshine and roses

Yeah they arrested her for a different incident conveniently like the morning after

Oh right

I totally forgot about that one

i don't think there a record of crime for that one

Americans should REALLY be paying attention to what has already happened to England and Europe

yup, they are heading towards european standards and europe itself is getting more stringent by the year with their "hate crimes" of saying words

Britain arrests more people than Russia for speech violations.

source? i would like to throw it at this leftist dude i know in another discord

That’s insane

reminds me of the time when GEMA were still being greedy fucks on youtube, there used to be a list, like 5+ years ago, with germany topping nr 1 for countries with the most videos banned from the youtube top 100 vids or something like that

britain arresting more 3300 people a year

russia nabbing 233 in 2016 https://nypost.com/2016/05/31/russians-are-getting-years-in-jail-for-their-social-media-likes/

the britain article was written in 2017 about 2016 stats

well they have other issues, like being unable to say anything positive about lgtb, how are you supposed to argue with someone who thinks being trans is normal, if he isn't even allowed to reply

To me, it seems that they don’t want you to be able to argue at all

pretty much 😦 its not like history hasn't shown just how bad an idea that is.... just look at how the catholic church constantly had heresies happen, because people weren't happy relying on the sayso of some priest saying his own thing, that might be based on the bible, but there was no certainty

For the record, I've heard the number might be low for that new york post article, they might have double the arrests at over 400, but that still much lower than britains over 3300

Also note that russia has over double population of britain so on a per capita basis britain arrests even more people.

That I can believe

How can vox ever be taken seriously? https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/9/10/20835327/voting-age-youth-rights-kids-vote

ri,p bolton. i'm going to miss that moustache

Vox can't be taken seriously. It is a stupid website for idiots.

If the voting age is 0 then people can just fabricate votes en masse. said fabrication would also be a lot easier if ***gasp*** you abolish the electoral college

Wait you mean I have to be a citizen of the USA to vote...?

ACTUALLY NO

Haa. I know. Not depending on Where you are

I...
