5 things you hate most about Thailand
FruitPudding replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
1. The locals have zero respect for other citizens (cut throat driving, scamming, business practices, etc etc). 2. The pollution and ruining the environment. 3. The low quality food n drink. 4. The casual racism. 5. I actually can't think of any others right now. It must be a good day. -
Bangkok roads to be avoided from 4pm to 7pm on Friday
FruitPudding replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
What's this one about? -
Yes, but think of all the cases that don't get widespread media attention and therefore charges don't get dropped. Being arrested for speech is absurd enough in every case and it shouldn't happen. Yeah, the problem with the UK's offensive speech laws and America's hate speech laws is that they are subjective, meaning that you are arrested -- not because of what you said (objectively) because they are just words-- but because of someone's opinion of what you said, their interpretation of your words, and whether or not they became offended.....which is absolutely ludicrous because it's so easy to exploit this law and basically arrest someone based on their feelings and opinions rather than objective facts.

They have laws against saying "offensive things" which is so vague that a young man was arrested in the UK for calling a police horse gay. And the charges were only dropped because of the public attention it had gotten for being so ridiculous. There's no freedom of speech with these kind of laws. These laws are more dangerous than anything a person could say.

Me, "This chocolate is 2 years out of date, mate." Del Boy, "Why do you think it's on special?? Chocolate doesn't really go out of date anyway." ????????????

That sounds about right. Can't say anything without being called racist or antisemitic. Straight out the Left's playbook for taking away freedom of speech.
