Racially abusive messages are considered criminal offences now in the UK. You cannot say they should be allowed under freedom of speech.

Tacky, low-brow and very, very simple attempt at humour.

But in Thailand the old man can walk out if he applies for pardon.

Yes, and its another politically correct law that shouldn't have even got on the statute books.

It IS a freedom of speech issue - Whatever happened to "I might not like what you are saying but I,ll fight to the death for the right for you to say it"?.

Once a Government starts to dictate what you can and cannot say it is the start of stepping down a very dark road.

Voltaire died in 1778 and thankfully the world's come on leaps and bounds since then.

Basically all (left, right, political correct, muslims etc etc) in Austria and most probably in every country agree to "freedom of opinion(speech) for my opinion".

But for any other opinion they want cruel laws.

Freedom of speech is already history.

Freedom of speech does not mean I can shout bomb on a plane, shout fire in a cinema or throw insults on the basis of colour or nationality.

Why is that so hard to understand?

So in your worlds I should be legally free to defame and insult you anyway I want and hide behind freedom of speech?

Shouting bomb on a plane or shout fire in a cinema is something complete different. It is allowed to speak about fires in cinemas, just not making the panic.

Yes it should be complete legal free to insult me about my nationality, skin color, size of nose, religion or whatever. I actually would fight for the right....

Always there will be people who abuse freedom of speech. We must live with that.

Can't discuss about the royal family

Can't discuss the holocaust

Not allowed to mention that some people have different skin color

Not allowed to mention that you don't like the ideas of some religions

Need to rename holidays and food because someone feel insulted

Not allowed to doubt the decisions of courts

Not allowed to glorify anything in Nazi Germany

Not allowed to glorify anything communist

(and the way is not far to laws that prohibit to criticize the government or undermine the ability to defense the country, we had that already)

Do you want to obey ALL these laws (not picking just a few of them). I prefer that I am not protected and can be called ugly skin longnose paedophil, but I am also allowed to speak whatever I want.
