And lol at the guy who complains about all the anti-american propaganda on this forum then starts a topic on freedom of speech. twat.


That could easily fall under libel (If it's false) and it's not like America has any sort of monopoly on free speech.

any given right WILL always be abused.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Accusing people of spouting anti-american propaganda and hate-statements easily falls under libel as well, although theres no a court in the world would entertain either cases.

Then we shall make our own court, and we shall name it the Supreme Court of International Relations and Merciless Justice.

Yes there is.  The 9th Circus Court of Assholes will hear any argument and probably rule the opposite you think it should.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

The America-hate thing would be difficult to make stick in a court.

On the other hand, the twat comment will kill you in a libel suit.

Well you can hang up in the first minute.  I answer the phone, they say who they are and I say "thanks for calling, bye!" and click.

Actually no. If you watch the first epiosde of Penn & Tellers Bull**** you'll learn something quite funny.

Apparently the lawyers advised them to never call anyone they featured a fraud, a charlatan or a con man because that would leave them open to libel cases.
 Calling them f**kers, b*****ds or s**theads however is perfectly legal and isn't actionable.

:lol:

Exactly. Libel does not mean insults; it means saying things about someone that are in direct contradiction with concrete facts, and are meant to be harmful.
