hate speech on Accy web

is this not 'hate speech' as much as I disagree with G W Bush on most if not all of his policies , I think calling for his assassination as an elected official is a bit out of line. Seem to remember that varoius Brits have been imprisioned for saying the similar things about Tony Blair ,incitement to violence ....... next thing you know there will be calls for the return of the ducking stool for members of local arts commisions who's artistic taste is sometimes viewed by taxpayers as questionable

Re: hate speech on Accy web
There are proberly whole nations that wish it would happen. If everything we said was taken as true and was going to happen we would all be in jail or back in the dark ages even worse back in the stone age.

Re: hate speech on Accy web
I don't think it was meant literally. How often have people said they could murder their kids?

Look, it was late and I couldn't be arsed to go into my actual point, but I was intending to make the light hearted comment of ' Americans never assassinate the right guy'.
However in all seriousness, it is my opinion that George W Bush should be gotten rid of, preferably in exactly the same way Hussein was. Afterall, Bush is a mass murderer and is clearly guilty of crimes against humanity - however direct or indirect, however blurred it may seem because of all the bureaucratic balls protecting him.
Now, you probably think I'm making an absurd link, you probably think I'm deluded, however I believe I have the right to free speech and I believe my opinion has sound premises which would be agreed on by many.

Re: hate speech on Accy web
I’m sorry but you have to giggle. How can one cry ”free speech, I can say what I like and so on” while hiding behind a made up name? we can all do that, even me because im rough touch and scared of nobody.

Re: hate speech on Accy web
Most of us have AccyWebby names but we know who we really are anyway because we meet at meets. I tend to use the same forum name everywhere apart from eBay.

Re: hate speech on Accy web
it aint all about freedom of speech
its also about airing ones points of view
whilst being sympathetic to others without malice

Shakermaker...... you could have posted that and I would have had nothing but respect for you, but you spoiled it with that last comment (Muppet).
How disappointing.
